'21 AL WDE Dylan Brooks (Auburn transfer)

[Blake25p]

Must not have performed well in camps, oh wait...

 

[KeepinUpWithJones]

Has anyone ever looked into how our recruits rankings trend vs how other’s trend following commitments?

People can say they don’t care, and I really don’t if we’re getting top tier talent, but I do think these rankings shape the public’s perception of the program to help build momentum in recruiting

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Would anyone like to explain to me why Brooks just lost his 5th star on 247?

Because he didn’t commit to Bama or AU

meh. the public opinion doesn't have as much sway as we're led to believe. sure people pay attention to how things are perceived....no getting around that.

but amongst prospects, coaches etc....the ones that actually matter....they know.

this is just math....it's a rainy Wedenesday and kids got dropped and bumped overnight for.............................................................................................................................

exactly.

Picture of a white civil war soldier and a slave, Dylan Brooks is tagged as the slave. Just completely inappropriate from the barn and bammers

Where was this? Is this some Troll job?

 

[butchna]

funny part is we actually dropped 2 points on our overall score on the 247 rankings, and our average went down. free fall out of the top ten on the horizon?

bad day for TN recruiting.

lol.....

Tragic! Gonna have a good cry when I can find a sec.

just got done with mine, feel tons better.

I noticed that 247 increased his weight from 220 to 240 recently. I'm sure they'll somehow argue that he is less explosive now despite having no film on which to base that.

Even if it doesn’t have as much as we think, if it helps you pick up one additional recruit who starts listening to UT because of the momentum he sees, that could be enough to make a big difference. I know relationships and bag men are bigger factors than perceived momentum, but I think the last few weeks are a clear indicator that herd mentality applies to recruits as much as it does consumers

 

[Rishvol]

It's kinda surprising. He's been committed for a week and yet he's still a 5*

 

[cncchris33]

Because he didn’t commit to Bama or AU

Yep. If he had that scarlet letter next to his commitment, he'd be #1 in this class and next class, just for good measure.

sure it does. but that's not what has the staying power.....

as we're seeing today....change the formulas around some and the same gropu of guys that was being lauded and praised, are now looked at as "less than" by some.

for no real good reason....lol. so momentum if you believe in it (i do) is what it is. it has a start, and a finish. what happens after, is what matters.....

Shannon terry runs 247 and is a huge bama fan. Doesn’t want the vols to have the number 1 player from bama

The fan part might be true but that dude always tweets about how Pruitt is the man.

Some of u take this way to seriously with the moving up and down a few spots esp with no camps. Who cares

We just want them to admit their bias towards particular schools and agendas.

Barton Simmons said “he won’t let tennessee be over bama in anything” on the 247 podcast yesterday. Interesting that brooks dropped like this today.

I think terry hates Tennessee and just wants Pruitt when Saban leaves.

Oh i think you know why?

 

[volfaninpa]

I know 247 and Rivals have deadlines and want to create content, but how can you even justify any ranking change right now for any prospect due to COVID-19. No camps, no in person evaluation, etc. Any change in any rankings means jack squat whether it goes up or down at this time (or really any time) JMO

Barton Simmons looks like he is still in a frat, drunk head ass.

Dylan Brooks’ 247 Ranking

“WIth Dylan Brooks, it was mainly about us putting some more value on the production to this point within that group of top pass rushers. When we started combing through that group it became apparent Demeioun Robinson (who was a few spots ahead of him), Clayton Smith and Jeremiah Williams had more productive junior seasons that were also against tougher competition. Like Ryan noted, we still like Brooks' upside, but those guys that moved ahead of him have that too, with more consistent production to date. This was mainly about us working to get our position rankings right first and that's where Brooks fell within the WDE group for us upon revisiting.”
