Rivals.com released their new Rivals100 today and there are 6 Trojans on the list:

6.  Matt Kalil, OL

• Kalil is a franchise left tackle that can’t be beat on the pass rush.

11.  Tyron Smith, OL

• Smith is a two-time NIKE Camp MVP and an amazing right tackle prospect.

22.  D.J. Shoemate, ATH

• Shoemate looked back to old self at the USC Rising Senior Camp.

42.  Blake Ayles, TE

• Ayles is the nation’s most well-rounded tight end. Averaged 14 yards a catch in 2006.

68.  Armond Armstead, DT

• Armstead, who also is an AAU basketball star, had 79 tackles as a junior and dominated at USC’s summer camp.

76.  Brice Butler, WR

• Sticky hands led to nine touchdowns as a junior.

I personally like this list better than Scout.com’s.  For example, I’m high on players like Armond Armstead (3-star on Scout; 4-star on Rivals) and Tyron Smith (4-star on Scout; 5-star on Rivals) and not so high on players like Matt Meyer (4-star on Rivals; 5-star on Scout).  Then again, I’m not a recruiting expert so what do I know?
