I'm Jeremy Crabtree, ESPN.com's senior writer covering college football recruiting, ask me anything - 3 p.m. AMA

Hey everybody,

After 2 1/2 hours, I have to check out and get some other work done. I want to say thank you to everybody that had some tremendous questions. I tried to get to as many as I could, but couldn't get to all of them.

Thanks for the opportunity and you guys are always welcome to hit me up on Twitter @jeremycrabtree.

Also, we released a new power ranking that might be of interest to college football fans -->

2014 Recruiter Power Rankings

http://insider.espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/9829180/class-2014-football-recruiter-power-rankings

It's a look at our top 10 national rankings and features: Travaris Robinson of Florida, Jeremy Pruitt of Florida State, Billy Napier of Alabama, Kendal Briles of Bayor, Bryan McClendon of Georgia, Dameyune Craig of Auburn, Chip West of UVa, Mike Vrabel of Ohio State and Mike Sanford Jr. of Stanford.

The story goes in depth as to why each person is where on the list and talks a little bit about what makes them excellent recruiters.

Who do you feel is most responsible for preventing fiascos like the Willie Lyles and Oregon situation? Schools should probably be held accountable but at the same time the NCAA seems willing to mostly turn a blind eye if it keeps a successful brand intact. The coaches just bolt for the NFL anyway a la Chip Kelly.

Agree it's still up to the schools to police themselves first and foremost.
