Regarding Steve Ishmael, the only site that has him a 4 is ESPN.  I judge him to be a 4* based on his film, his production, his 2 years of state accolades and the schools that wanted him as well as what opposing coaches have said about his ability.  I have little doubt that if he flirted more with the big boys he'd have been 4 stars; and he certainly could have.

In general, i chart and track the ratings of every kid who commits to Syracuse.  This year not one of our recruits received a bump up in rating, though kids who de-committed received bumps.

Adly Enoicy went from (rvls) 4* 5.8 rating (in November) down to a 2* 5.4 rating.  That kind of a drop is a joke.  They rated him high to begin with based on what he'd done to that point in time.  He didn't really do anything to deserve the drop this season except play on a terrible team.

On the contrary, Beau B from Wisconsin was a 2* 5.3 rated kid when committed to Cuse and is now a 3* 5.5 kid committed to Wisconsin.

Jason Canbinda was a 2* 5.3 rated kid when committed to Cuse and is now a 3* 5.5 since committing to Penn State.

Say what you will but the trends bear out that the fix is in.
