In State Football Recruiting.

[Cajun Monkee]

I’m not sure what changed but as of today I saw on Twitter that 247 has Louisiana as the 3rd highest recruiting class in the SBC.

1) stAte
2) App
3) Louisiana

They (247) just re-rated (or rated) some of our players. Jayroe's original rating wasn't particularly favorable. Now he's an 84.

It was Xavier Brown that was finally rated. He had no ranking when he signed. Jayroe was rated a 3 Star.

Does it matter? Portal guys win football games too. The question is who’s building the better team through recruiting, not where they came from. Kids from the portal are considered recruits. You have to look at the classes as a whole not broken down by portal vs high school.

I just finished watching a you tube video of Patrick Mahomes recruiting situation in Texas. It seems he wasn't good enough for any of the Texas schools except Tech the only ones who offered him although he was voted the best player in the state of Texas & had just won the state title his senior year. When I see a situation like the Arch Manning versus Dwayne Winnfield one, my faith in the stupidity of the whole recruiting system is ultimately restored. I don't care what anyone's rankings say. When you get the best player in the state of Louisiana to come to your school, you should be at or near the top of your ranking system. If you aren't then you throw the whole thing in the trash can.

Solid point!

That is a very true observation.

...and 247 still doesn't have Lunch listed.

Ditto Patrick. Now you know how the best QB in NFL history ended up having his past littered with moronic tripe about how BAD his mechanics were, etc. etc. etc. by so called self styled "experts". I'm not against the recruiting services as a tool. But many times they prove to be nothing more than tools.
