247 likes the class better but their 86.67 avg rating that UT's commits have now would land the Vols between 15-20.
It is humorous to see it unfold. Most pointed to the average star rating last class as a bit smaller class and that 14th ranking wasn't accurate. "You gotta look at the average star rating, that's a better indicator". 89 last year. With that 86 this year, most are resorting back to pointing to class ranking again.
I'm not. The class could be ranked #40 for all I care. If the staff takes their guys and wins the ranking won't matter anyway. They want to take a 3* over a 4*? Go for it. I'm a believer that you don't have to be top 5-10 every year in recruiting to win.
There may be something to the frequent complaint about "ESPN hating us." Below are our current recruiting class rankings. Which one stands out?
Scout #7
Rivals #5
247 Sports #7
Teamrankings.com #9
ESPN #20 (and that appears to be updated and includes this weekend's recruits)
