Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

More info for @Volski

@Freak is @frank

@Catbone really isn't a Georgia fan.

Sometimes people call @drvenner "Byron." That one lost me for awhile.

@Atlanta VOL is legit. Only a@#$holes question that. Eventually you'll figure out the history related to the board as to why that's been confirmed. Repeatedly.

And @Ron Swanson basically brings all of the info from TOS, so don't bother with subscriptions.

We are pretty good about rallying around folks who need support. Crushed some gofundme's. I'm not tagging the recipients. They know who they are, and we appreciate the updates, good or bad. We're here for it. And discussion about bbq, the 'rona, and whatever else gets us from spring practice to kickoff in the fall.

Oh, and @Bassmaster_Vol and @Big Gucci Sosa had a podcast for minute. That was fun.

And finally, bookmark this tweet. It may seem random, but I promise you it'll come in handy one day.



Appreciate the information!

Iā€™ve actually been, and am still currently, a subscriber to 247 since 2008. I go by the same username there (last name ends in ā€œskiā€, hence, ā€˜Volskiā€™) GoVols247 references AV and TOS fairly often, especially regarding recruiting. I can tell his information is legit. Thereā€™s a small handful of posters on 247 who also have very good inside information. One of whom Iā€™ve had the opportunity to meet at a tailgate. Thatā€™s the kind of content I really enjoy, whither it comes to fruition or not (we all know how players decisions and situations change last minute so I hardly hold it against any insider when they get it wrong every now and then)

I am definitely one of the more sarcastic posters youā€™ll see once I let lose a little. And Iā€™m sure thatā€™ll get me in trouble at some point lol
 
@Volski ....

Iā€™m gonna need a real good math pun to accept you into my circle of trust....

I am not going to ask Y you are in need of such puns, not to be Mean. I just hope my Average math puns dont create a Divide between us. Iā€™ll Add one more thing; you can Count on me to try my best when it comes to puns

I was doing a comparison of the Rivals numbers rating for the 2020 class versus where we're at in the 2021 class and was surprised by what it showed. If our next two commits are high 3 stars, like Campbell or low 4 stars, we're going to be at pretty much the same total point total under their methodology as the 2020 class (which had 23 players in it). They assign a number of points based on the 0 to 6.1 rating they give each player and then give bonus points if the player is in their Rivals 250.

A 4 star player can have an individual rating of 5.8 thru 6.0. A 6.0 four star gives you 135 points versus a 5.8 four star who gives you 105 points. Big difference.

Then being on their Rivals 250 can really help based on where you're rated. #50 gets a bonus of 45 points versus being #150 gives you a bonus of 23 points.

They have our 4 star commitments rated as better than last year's 4 stars but right now they don't rate any of our commitments as 5 stars, versus having one (HB) as a 5 star in 2020. And they have us with 12 3 stars versus 9 in 2020.

I know a lot of people don't like Rivals but they did rate our 2020 class higher than 247 (10th) or ESPN (18th) last year.

Now we would have more total points by just signing 25 versus last year's 23 so that should put us a little higher, but not necessarily with ESPN which included our transfers in their numbers. And we were 300 points behind 6th place Texas A&M last year so unless the last four commitments to the 25 number are all high four stars rated in the Rivals 250, it would seem we're going to finish close in total points to where we were in 2020.

By the way, that ain't too shabby, it's just some people are thinking top 5 and that isn't looking very likely unless we have some commits get their ratings raised or we drop some of the 3 stars in exchange for 4 stars.

It's going to be interesting to see where our attrition in the group of current commitments occurs, i.e. 4 stars or 3 stars, and what they are replaced with.

I am the self-proclaimed King of the puns/dad jokes but math puns are pretty uncharted territories.

They call me Byron because I'm so lordly.
