    That's why he is an LSU Tiger.

    I guess I understand where you can drop a guy a little bit in the rankings early on because of injury concerns, but those concerns are gone, time to give this kid his due, 5 stars baby, where they at?

    Next ranking in December should have Ford as a 5 star.

    If not, definitely in January.

    Not a star gazer but I think he deserves a 5 star no doubt. He played behind a pretty mediocre line too. Top 3 in rushing in the country plus many said he was a top 3 RB his Sophomore year in the country.

    I emailed the ESPN staff about his outstanding season this year. I am sure they are aware, but wanted to still put the bug in their ear. Don't know how to contact Scout or Rivals.

    Emailing them was probably meaningless, but since it only took me about 30 seconds, why not do it. I am sure it will not do much, but who knows. He will surely be upgraded regardless.

    I just emailed Dallas Jackson over at Rivals again. He's mostly involved in the school ranking side but is very involved in player rankings as well. He indicated a few weeks ago before Ford's 400 yard game that he felt pretty good about him getting a 5th star.
