    I've looked at them all and prefer Scout. But, to be honest, I have really weaned myself off recruiting. I cannot stand the prima dona attitudes of the kids or the craziness of "adult" fans Tweeting recruits and begging them to come to their school and then mocking them when they don't.

    GatorCountry first and foremost. Since they don't have star ratings or team rankings I do a drive by first with Scout then Rivals just a tad below. I don't follow ESPN.

    The insanity of it all boggles my mind but I can't help but keep up with how the Gators are doing.

    21 commitments now and we probably pick up several more tomorrow and maybe even after.

    I was doing some research last night, and noticed that with quite a few players from the North and West that were rated in the top 50 in the country by position, specifically Scout and Rivals, they were rated lower, and in some cases not even in the top 100 by ESPN.

    ESPN seems to have a trend of not looking past the East coast/SEC and ACC areas in their recruiting rankings. I decided to look at these stats after hearing interesting comments by Colin Coherd (ESPN Radio) yesterday.
