and that is why rankings are a fraud for the most part. It only matters what happens when they get on campus....no way in heck Rivals can rank over 300,000 or more HS players.

I feel bad for Aaron, as he has to put some stock in these rankings... .
Actually Rivals didnt drop Paul. Paul dropped his own ranking. It should have been our first clue.....
And how would you be privy to this inside info?? He is a pretty solid kid who hasnt got into the hype of being recruited like many others, i imagine he could care less about the silly rankings.
Just proves how silly the ranking are at rivals and scout. Ask Boise St and TCU.
HEre are the stats of the two best RB's in texas, Brown/Green.
Name Team Att Yds Yds/Att TD
Malcolm Brown Cibolo Steele 184 1,696 9.22 19
Name Team Att Yds Yds/Att TD
Aaron Green San Antonio Madison 210 1,590 7.57 18
Seems like the stats are similiar, wonder why Green took such a big hit???
Not hard to figure out here. After Rivals worked so hard to sell the "Tunder and Lightning" idea on behalf of Mack Brown, Aaron Green must be punished! Tyler Moore was punished for spurning Florida, and now Aaron Green. Anybody that thinks that there is no bias obviously doesn't notice ESPN obsessing over Notre Dame every chance they get. These guys have biases and are sometimes vindictive when they don't get their way.
I am not a big "World against NU" guy. I see biases all the time. I think that NU gets the benefit of some biases. But our benefits are usually in the middle of the pack. Two star guys getting that third star or three star guys getting that fourth star. Honestly, I doubt any school can come close to our number of 4* guys who don't quite get into the top 250. We always have a few. Seriously, that isn't a large pool of players every year. Yet we always seem to corner that market. At the very top, these guys cater to the big markets. We've had five guys in recent memory who have been absolutely hosed by the member services.
1) Aaron Green - 30 spots? Thank you Rivals for making it blantantly obvious. Punish the kid. Punish the kid!
2) Tyler Moore - Absolutely ridiculous what Rivals has done to him after he turned down their precious precious precious precious precious precious precious precious Florida.
3) Andrew Rodriguez - Drops over 100 spots after participating in Army All Star Game OUT OF POSITION. Unprecidented before or after.
4) Niles Paul - He dropped about 50 spots after being a STAR PLAYER in the Army All Star game.
5) Some guy named Suh - I haven't forgetten his drop after picking us over the Pac 10. He turned out to be pretty good.
Big market fans want big stars. Big bucks to advertise all their 5* players. Texas is doing great with all of theirs this year. Miami's 7-6 loaded team and FSU's high powered 5* offenses are examples of obviously overrated talent to pacify the large markets. Meanwhile, NU has a reputation for getting more out of less and for being more of a team rather than a collection of individuals. This perception hurts us in the national ratings in terms of the top guys. But the five guys mentioned above were beyond ridiculous.
End of rant. Long live "Tunder and Lightning!"

How do their teams compare overall? How about the OL on each team? How many D1 OL prospects does each team have?
madison has LOTS more history, being a much older school , steele is only 5/6 years old, feeds off schertz/clemens. Madison is in a harder district than steele.
We will see this weekend who had the harder district as they play each other in the playoffs. Madison's district was loaded this year and Steele with Judson is always a force and got to like New Braunfels as they are always a tough team.
