Both services have entirely different methodologies for how they rank, deal with reclassifications etc. Composite of the 3 gives you best idea and on that ND has 14 of 18 recruits as 4 stars. We also saw what Monds and Vaughn were rated (top 25 recruits) before relegated in the rankings simply for reclassifying
Yes, but it's absolutely senseless to take a 5⭐ in ANY class and drop him to a 3⭐ after reclassifying. Both of these kids are 5⭐ talents and top 50 players.

If you consider Monds and Vaughn 5 stars, ND got commits from 4 five stars in a month. Truly an all time run.

Just give them a 4 star. 3 star is just idiotic
Yea, but that's definitely some bias there because when other kids reclassify going to "certain" schools they never lose a ⭐.

Monds was the #1 QB and #2 player by Rivals and Vaughn was #19 and the #2 Edge. It's beyond lazy to just put a 3⭐ and say you need to re-evaluate a kid when he was an "Elite" recruit.

Yup. And i think that Monds, Whisenton and Vaughn will all rise to top 100 players to come level. Coleman probably wont crack top 100 but should be a consensus 4 star
Irvin, Hawk, Flanigan and Coleman all get 4⭐, Monds will rise a ton and should get to the top 50, Vaughn will rise quite a bit as well and could be anywhere from 40-60 in this class. Whisenton will be in the top 125 range as he's in the top 6-7 backs in the class.

yea I am basically agreeing with you man. I think it is fair to drop their rating as a wait and see strategy. but stevie wonder could watch their film and see Vaughn and Monds aren't 3 stars. Give them the token 4 star

Agree with all of this (except maybe Flanigan...not sure what he is playing in HS and that could effect his eval)

Well, he plays both OL/DL in HS but will begin his career at ND as an IOL. I believe Flanigan is already a composite 4⭐ and the sites that list him as a 3⭐ have him less than half a point away from 4⭐.

This isn't the thread for it but whatever Pete B is doing is being unsung. He's a hero, in my mind, and we should acknowledge it early. MF is getting every assistant he wants, MF is happy, MF is getting the updates and full NIL commitment.

Pete deserves a statue once MF gets his.

I am waiting to see what “concessions” Pete secured us from the ACC after his winter blow up but can’t disagree he’s done wonders for ND’s competitiveness for transfers / recruits.
