ESPN Gives Irish and Chris Martin No Love
Today ESPN came out with their first ESPN rankings for the 2010 class. In the first ESPN 2010 college recruiting rankings in their top 150 they put Irish commit Chris Martin at 146. Chris Martin was already named to the 2010 high school army all american game and other recruiting sites rivals.com and scout.com both gave Chris Martin a 5 star rating. Rivals.com has Chris at number 13 and the best weakside defensive end. Scout.com gives Chris a little more love and has Chris at number 6 and the best overall defensive end in the nation. Chris said a few words about it earlier and showed he was very angry at it and he is just going to ignore it. He was mostly mad because he thinks espn is saying he is an ok player, and pretty much everyone knows he is one of the best high school players in the nation.
I was talking to Utah commit Kenneth Scott about the new ESPN rankings earlier. He also was very angry about his ranking. ESPN put Kenneth has the #91 wide receiver in the nation. I mentioned to Kenneth about how Chris is number 146. Kenneth said " Woow chris at 146??? He's one of the best DE/LB ive seen. . . . Sheeesh they are trippin' bigtime". I have just always valued Rivals and Scout.com's opinions more.
By the way Chris was also the only Irish commit in the ESPN 150.
