One more recruiting note –
I looked at all of our commits and who had who ranked the highest, 2nd highest, 3rd highest, and lowest. I was curious because someone in the Travis Smith thread posted that 247 had dropped Smith 30 spots. That’s not really accurate. Travis fell in the composite because Rivals dropped him from their top 250. If he continues the way he performed Friday night they’ll get that fixed. jmo.
Back when we signed Pearce I posted about the evaluation by On3 when many others were more enamored with Josephs. I’m not an evaluator but I like the scouting reports more than the ratings and rankings. Still, like many others, I do want to win at everything, including beating everyone else in the recruiting game as tracked publicly.
We do see movement in the ratings/rankings every year and I casually keep an eye on that. It goes both ways and I think there’s ample evidence to suggest that sometimes thumbs are on the scales for recruits committed to the more recently successful programs/staffs. It is what it is. jmo.
Anyway, I compared the rating, the national ranking, the position ranking, and the state ranking for each of our commits and this is the way things look right now across the 4 ratings sources. The highest rating gets 1 point, 2nd highest 2 points, etc. Lowest total is better. On3 likes more of our commits the best; Rivals hates us. Proof. lol. jmo.
