Wow, big disconnect between Rivals' ranking of Hood and USA Today's.

From the people I've talked to about Hood (including one high school coach), 70-something is more accurate. I think Jerry Meyer of Rivals is high on Jon because of his potential more than anything. Some of these scouts weigh present skill more than down-the-road potential.
