ESPN is making Rivals look foolish, and I hate to give them any credit.

Well we/NU knew he was good and had great potential. But, as you must be implying NU is hardly if at all influenced by what Rivals, ESPN, 247 etc rate a recruit. On the other hand if a big name school suddenly becomes interested in a recruit, or as in the case with Adam Taylor, not interested, these recruiting sites pay a great deal of attention to that.
Recruiting boards/sites are not terribly scientific but informative in a way and certainly entertaining. I love em.

I pretty much agree with everything you said. Actually made a post pretty much to that affect earlier today. However, I was pretty much just being a smart ass in previous post. It's a gift. Pretty much!

Insane jump. On their DT rankings, I think he went from 50s to 20s. Absurd.
