Iron I thought you were a Memphis fan now? Ppl are on you bc you took it a little overboard with the Pro-Bo stuff. To some it appears pitiful.

Edit: Did you really tell Memphis fans that Bo + his dad's "coaching" would make them NT contenders?? Wow buddy cmon now! Time to re-evaluate campain Pro-Bo!

 

[mch317]

Hey to all recruiting gurus I have a question. On Rivals we are ranked 11 which is pretty good and on our way to top 10 but Scout has us at 21! I know each service has their own guys and make their own evaluations but 10 spots? Thats crazy! I would assume there would be some difference in scout, rivals, espn etc but I figure a spot or two different with each service but how do you get a difference of 10? Thats a pretty big gap. Any thoughts?

I had the same question. I was thinking it was a difference in when they updated the first time I saw it, but it has been that way for at least a week. What's up?

Scout is not good for recruiting. Always trust Rivals. If you compare UT's commit lists on both sites you'll see scout consistently ranks them lower thus the lower ranking.

I've always felt that Rivals is just all around better at college football recruiting...

The reason for such a huge disparity is that Scout's point system favors quantity over quality whereas Rivals does the opposite...

A good example is Miami...they have 3 four star recruits and no top 100 players according to Scout...we have 8 four stars and 4 top 100 players...but Miami is ahead of us because they have 9 more commits than us...

What is more important...how many bodies you bring in or how high quality those bodies are and how well they fill your needs?

I personally believe it's quality that's important and that's why I prefer Rivals and barely even pay attention to Scout

I agree, good point. That makes more sense about scout if they're going off quantity

Can anyone break down the Wednesday Rumblings article on TOS?

 

[Volsfan15]

We need some mods, gosh, this close to recruiting and they bail...

 

[mch317]

Since LV said, on TOS, he will no longer be posting here, can we remove the sticky?

And there is someone that would say Never trust rivals(see thread).

He posted on VQ that he doesn't post on VN anymore.

 

[bignewt]

what happened? did someone blow up his deathstar?

I could guess that he wasn't happy that this has turned into a Gator, Aubie, Nole, troll board recently. I know the mods have their hands full but some of the trolls need to go.

 

[Volnbeers]

I can't wait to see Janzen Jackson meet Lord Vader over the middle....

 

[bignewt]

gold!

 

[bignewt]

as for the trolls, its a free country so just get some wit and tear them a new one. big deal.

 

[arTfuldodger]

I would think with VN being a free service that I'm lucky I was graced with updates from LV while they lasted. I don't see many posts by LWSvol or the other reliable posters. I'm a newbie and LV is all I knew. That being said, it being a free site also invites ppl to troll . Comes with the turf.
