Early 2015 Rankings: 247Sports vs. LSR

There are still over eight months until National Signing Day 2014, but it's never too early (well, maybe it is) to discuss the 2015 recruiting class.  Recruiting giants 247Sports released their initial 2015 national rankings yesterday, but we'll be focusing on the state of Texas.  Another set of rankings, the Lone Star Recruiting's (LSR) 2015 top 100 has been out for a while now.  Below are some notes regarding these early rankings.  Also, take these with a grain of salt, there are still twenty months until NSD 2015 and there will likely be some major changes until then.

Other Notes

• The first thing that pops out is Tristan Teuhema's ranking.  Teuhema is a top 11 player NATIONALLY according to 247Sports, but is only 14th in the STATE in the LSR.  That's quite the difference especially for such a highy-touted recruit.
• Both Jalen Campbell and Aaron Garza are in the top 25 in the LSR, but not included in the 247Sports rankings (goes to 33).  Is the LSR biased toward Texas commits?  Maybe a little, but UT's three '15 commits committed after the last update to the list.
• Rockwall RB Chris Warren is 31st in the LSR, but 9th in 247Sports' rankings.
