I'm confused, my wife will tell you this is not a great surprise, what does the numbers listed before the star rating mean, 5.8, 5.7 etc...

I guess it's a by-product of fishing in a different pond, but we haven't had a lot of head-to-head action with our conference mates. In fact, the only head to head matchup that I found in C-USA west, was Colin Lagasse choosing SMU over an offer from Rice.

The Rivals ranking system ranks prospects on a numerical scale from 6.1-4.9.

6.1 Franchise Player; considered one of the elite prospects in the country, generally among the nation's top 25 players overall; deemed to have excellent pro potential; high-major prospect

6.0-5.8 All-American Candidate; high-major prospect; considered one of the nation's top 300 prospects; deemed to have pro potential and ability to make an impact on college team

5.7-5.5 All-Region Selection; considered among the region's top prospects and among the top 750 or so prospects in the country; high-to-mid-major prospect; deemed to have pro potential and ability to make an impact on college team

5.4-5.0 Division I prospect; considered a mid-major prospect; deemed to have limited pro potential but definite Division I prospect; may be more of a role player

4.9 Sleeper; no Rivals.com expert knew much, if anything, about this player; a prospect that only a college coach really knew about
