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

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

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

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.
