Breaking Dean @ it again

Strange new respect for Dean today. He actually admitted to being wrong about something without a bunch of whiny excuses.

Dean errantly wrote in today's 3-2-1:

Millard South quarterback and Alabama signee Jett Thomalla was bumped to No. 24 in the final top 100, earning a five-star ranking. That is the highest ranking a Nebraska high school prospect has ever had in the final Rivals rankings.

The previous high was in 2007 when Lincoln Southwest’s Baker Steinkuhler finished ranked five stars and No. 28 in the final top 100.


But:

Comparing apples to apples, Baker S. is still the highest ranked Nebraska prospect of all time.

Rivals national ranking:
Baker: 8
Jett: 24

Rivals Industry ranking:
Baker: 28
Jett: 47

Dean compared Jett’s Rivals ranking to Baker’s industry ranking to arrive at the conclusion Jett was higher ranked. That’s not the case when you use the same rankings list for both players.

When this was pointed out in the thread, Dean replied with:

You're right. I took Baker's Industry ranking and compared to Jett's Rivals rankings. My mistake on that.

He even edited the story to correct it. Credit where credit is due.

Millard South quarterback and Alabama signee Jett Thomalla was bumped to No. 24 in the final top 100, earning a five-star ranking. That is the highest ranking a Nebraska high school prospect has received in the final Rivals rankings since 2008.

Lincoln Southwest’s Baker Steinkuhler finished ranked as a five-star and No. 8 in the final top 100 in 2008.
