I'm sure there are several others, but where ESPN has Allen and Lawrence ranked compared to where Rivals has them is night at day -- especially Allen.
Willie Allen RIVALS - 3-Star - 37th rated OL in the nation
Willie Allen ESPN - 4-Star - 16th rated player in the nation ESPN300
Rashard Lawrence RIVALS - 4-Star - 10th rated DT in the nation - #105 in the Rivals250
Rashard Lawrence ESPN - 4-Star - 6th rated DT in the nation - 12th rated player in the nation ESPN300
