June 7, 20187 yr How long do you get off for lunch?  Edit:  Not trying to schedule a hookup. Edited June 7, 20187 yr by ImissWallyPryor NTTAWWT
June 7, 20187 yr 247 didn't exist in 2000... The Rivals100 rankings from that year are still available, you should look at those instead. I'll find the link.
June 7, 20187 yr Author Rivals100 rank was the same for the top prospect in 2000 and 2001. There's only slight deviation on some other years, so I'll add those other rankings.Â

I'm pretty sure 247's ranking for years when they didn't exist are just a copy of the Rivals' rankings. Not sure what year that quit being the case but it was definitely the case for 2000 and 2001.
