Barrett Jones was interviewed on a radio station in Huntsville, AL about the recruiting porcess and such. They asked Barrett how he was rated the #1 center in the country on Rivals when he had never played a down at center. He replied something along the lines of Rivals was attempting to make Alabama the #1 recruiting class in the country, and that by putting him overall #1 would help with the point system rivals uses.

Now, I am not too sure about this. Although I live in Huntsville I did not hear it for myself; however, a friend of mine says he did. Scout.com has Barrett listed at #18 as an OL, but Alabama is rated #2 on both Scout and Rivals; so take it for what it’s worth.
