Class of 2015 Has No Clear No. 1 Yet
Somebody has to start at the top, and, truth be told, the search isn't usually all that tedious.
Vince Young was the guy. Adrian Peterson was the guy. Jadeveon Clowney was the guy. Percy Harvin was ... get it? Point is, regardless of year or position, there's always a guy.
Except when there's not.
And, at least for now, that's the case for the class of 2015. The mystery can be construed as a hat tip to the parity of the group. It can also be seen as an indictment of the talent at the top. Of course, there's more to it than that.
"Normally, we're doing this in February, after junior years," Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Mike Farrell said. "We're moving the process up a good six or seven months because of the nature of the industry. I think that's why it's a little more difficult this year. I think we'll have a much clearer picture after the season."
The nation's No. 1 has been switched mid-cycle over the years. Top players have dropped, and new names have emerged. But somebody has to start in the driver's seat.
Somebody has to be "The Guy."
With that in mind, Rivals.com reviews the list of candidates for the class of 2015's No. 1 ranking and shares Farrell's take on their talents. (read on)
