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

Pretorian

2:32pm

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

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

Because recruiting rankings are in the FPI formula, and ESPN

Akana has been at Texas for two years and hasn’t even really played at all

JOPE

2:24pm

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

kimdaddy35

2:39pm

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

RealTaysomHill

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

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

Stopper6700

So you are telling me 247 rates players based on how long they have been out of high school?

They probably flip-flop between rating potential or production depending on

Why was Akana a near 5 star and now as a transfer he’s only a 3 star?

Big12Yfan

1:48pm

Becuase he signed with Texas and transferred to BYU.

Cougs2012

1:50pm

Because there is new information.

The new information being that he signed with BYU

Zero percent chance Manning would be a 3* if he transferred... he would be high 4* at worst

Coug

He would be a 5 star. I'm just pointing out the fallacy of the argument. Arch Manning would go #1 in the NFL

kimdaddy35

Akana would probably be top 5 if he went…

ochobeeguy

A guy with one career tackle would go top 5 in the NFL draft??

Comparing a QB and DE doesn't prove anything. Lots of DEs typically play in a single game. With QBs, it's super uncommon

In theory, it's safer to back into the parking space.

No it isn’t. It’s behind the front bumper and hood. You have to pull forward
