Doman a QB that knew how to throw on the run.

He and Max Hall were both good at throwing on the run

Call me crazy but I actually think my Bose QCs do a better job at multi-apple device switching

If they can connect to 2 or 3 devices simultaneously, that's fine too. I've had some Jabras for work that could do that.

COUGND

They should just make each conference District X with X being the prestige order. So SEC is District 1, etc

UNLV v. NIU on CBSSN is going to compete with FOX's Big Noon Kickoff!

Doogal McCougar

They are NIU. UNI is Northern Iowa. And the MW is lucky to have 9 fb schools.

I couldn’t agree more. Make sure Monovision works in contacts 1st.

RJCOD

Look into ICL. I did PRK and it was rough at first but worth it in the end. ICL is a little more expensive but the

I honestly don't care what the transfers are rated at, but 247 lost ALL credibility when they rated high 5 star recruits

Pretorian

2:32pm

It's how they juice the preseason rankings

Bob Vance

3:09pm

why do people care so much?

reagan21

2:21pm

Because it impacts recruiting ratings/rankings which affect pre-season rankings

Schultz is back

2:25pm

yeah, but according to 247’s rankings, to be 89 or above you need to be an NFL Prospect

JOPE

2:29pm

Then they need to re-rate every players on every team every year

Schultz is back

2:32pm

why should they have to do that? They are a recruiting service.

JOPE

2:33pm

Their work is being used to rank teams-- in preference to wins & losses at times

Socrates Johnson

2:38pm

I think it’s a much smaller metric then some people are letting on

JOPE

2:59pm

Partly because certain computer rankings take into account recruiting and the average rating for recruits

BYUMizzou

2:26pm

If I'm an athlete, it could downgrade my NIL potential. This could be attempting

Ghost of Peanut

Because recruiting rankings are in the FPI formula, and ESPN

Again, if it weren't for injury Arch Manning would be in the exact same boat. Akana played over 40

Comparing a QB sitting early and a DE sitting early is a bad comparison.

The point is the same. If Akana had transferred to Alabama what would he be

Socrates Johnson

What evidence? Kam Dewberry was a 4* prospect, then transferred to Alabama as a 3*

RealTaysomHill

3:06pm

Well that’s one guy. Not very compelling compared to all the guys

BYU '80

That says more about the schools in the Big 12 than it does the recruiting rankings

RealTaysomHill

3:19pm

I don’t starters at big12 schools leave all the time for the sec

BYU '80

3:24pm

Performance and NIL are the same. The big schools aren't paying big NIL money to guys who aren't good.

Where did you get his view from? Would love to see if for BYU.

Captain Stubing

Yeah, he’s terrible in coverage and that’s critical for a DT.

Maybe he’s not a 5 star but he’s easily a 4 star. Dude had offers from Michigan

He's not a five star.
