Honey Badger 2.0 (w/o the weed problem, w/a level head)
:ibisroflmao: wow a 4 star guy that was a stud compared to a Zero star guy...yea I see the comparison
I think the honey badger comparison is silly. But your post embodies the ignorance of not understanding how the rankings work. At this same juncture in Honey Badger's recruitment he had exactly ZERO BCS offers (see below). Yes, he ended up a 4 star and eventually a heisman candidate, but not at the equivalent of this stage in the recruiting process.

Though Mathieu has yet to get an offer from the SEC or any other BCS programs, he has already garnered official offers for a number of smaller programs. Before Monday, Mathieu held offers from FIU, Tulane, Miami University, SMU and Hampton.

New Orleans-St. Augustine defensive back Tyrann Mathieu impressed LSU head coach Les Miles and his staff at the Tigers football camp this week. His performance earned his a scholarship offer that was quickly accepted.
These dudes haven't even played their senior seasons yet, there is still a lot of evaluation going on, a lot of new prospects emerging, and a lot of shuffling to be done with the rankings as the guys who run these sites try to keep up with guys who really know their stuff. I laud our coaches for being ahead of the curve for many prospects (like a poster noted above: Lammons, Rudolph, Collins, Flowers, even a guy like Amari Cooper)
I am impressed by Mayes' tape though and love his potential. He also does seem to have some natural playmaking ability. I bet he makes a lot of noise this season at MNW
