ESPN brags up their ranking on every player no matter if they only played 2 plays.

Shazier outplayed alot of LBs ahead of him. Will be a force the next three years.

Isnt this list based on HS??? lol

They are evaluating their rankings from when they were in HS and seeing how well they did, right? It isnt like they re-arranged the list. Then again, I didnt read anything on the page but the comments and I didnt see their final rankings before they all played in college.
