National Recruiting Thread

[GoldenIsThyFame]

3 for 3 baby. What do I win?

2nd team all poster, one team behind me.


Burns deep doesn't it? Hahahaha

 

[Andy in Sactown]

So in summary: a kid with a Auburn tattoo commited to Alabama, a kid from Florida picked Arkansas over Miami and a kid committed to the University of Ohio State (UOS?)

tUoOS? I am sure I could not pronounce that sober.

Someone with Rivals may be able to confirm or deny but Farrell seems to be reporting FSU flipped/will flip Jalen Ramsey

Hard to argue with that list. Ole Miss and Bama closing with killer classes.

 

[Ironman8]

0-1 already Sully. Ramsey is going to FSU.

Overrated.

CBS's Matt Hinton just published a compelling article on the importance of recruit rankings:

The evidence is overwhelming: Despite some obvious, anecdotal exceptions, on the whole recruiting rankings clearly are useful for creating a realistic baseline for expectations. But the narrower your focus, the less useful they will become.

The massively hyped, five-star recruit headlining your team's next recruiting class may be an irredeemable bust; he is also many times more likely than a scrappy three-star to pan out as an All-American and move on to the next level. Somewhere, an under-scouted afterthought with a chip on his shoulder will almost certainly go on to defy the odds, become a star and maybe win the Heisman Trophy. But that doesn't change the odds, which are against him becoming anything more than an obscure role player, at best. Inevitably, a team full of afterthoughts at the bottom of the rankings will defy the odds, catch fire, pull a few upsets and storm its way into a BCS bowl. But that doesn't change the odds, which are in favor of the same team dwindling on the edge of bowl eligibility. And just as inevitably, the eventual national champion will emerge from the ranks of the handful of teams that consistently come out on top on signing day.

The exceptions prove the rule: Overwhelmingly, setting aside every other conceivable factor that determines success and failure -- injuries, academics, even coaching -- individual players and teams tend to perform within the very narrow range their initial recruiting rankings suggest. Some percentage of both groups will not. But when it comes to forming expectations, it should go without saying that you never want to count on being one of the anomalies.

Well worth your time.

Well worth your time.

Great article...The one thing I can say is that walkons, 2, and 3 star guys tend to face what I call star inertia...basically if a coach got a 4 or 5 star kid to come play, his reputation and credibility hang with those guys a bit...so 4 and 5 star guys are VERY hard to unseat in the 2 deep even when they aren't performing "better" than the 3 star...this is when we start to hear words like upside, etc.

Its not an even contest...in cases where both the 3 star and 4/5 star could be a future AA, the 4/5 is gonna get the opportunity.

I don't refute the conclusion of the article, but being a 4 or 5 star coming in paves your way to a longer leash, more attention, so in terms of opportunity, 4s and 5s have more.

Looking like Levenberry to Tennesse.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Chris Jones? Not that much of a shocker though.

I have no basis for this but Mac Alexander.
