Surprising no one on this forum, Rivals rankings are proved to be fraudulent when they gave a three-star ranking, complete with an evaluation to a player that doesn't exist!!!! This has led 247, who added the non-existent player to it's composite rankings, to change its policies.

So apparently Rivals bases it rankings on who offers a kid a scholarship, well now that's a surprise. Not that I didn't already know this but to see them publicly unmasked is a bit of justice. Guerry, will Rivals make a statement regarding this? As a paying customer, when I see a rivals rating I am being sold on their evaluation of the player, which apparently is non-existent. ESPECIALLY for players Tulane tends to recruit and sign who are not "4 & 5 stars".
