Rivals updated rankings!!!!!!!!!!

Suck it all you haters of the ranking system! This one class has more 3 star athletes than we have signed in the last 10 years!

Tech has 17 with 3 stars and 9-10 are JC transfers----Didn't think some should have been 3s---go to Rivals football recruiting and hit commits!!!!

For whatever reason, Rivals gives 3 stars to many if not the majority of JUCO players who sign with D1 schools. I don't believe Scout follows that approach.

Steve Robertson of Scout explained that Rivals has like 500 or 600 more 3 star players. Being a 3* on Rivals is not as prestigious so to speak as being 3* Scout. Good players get left out still though

If a Juco was 2-stars out of HS, is he worth signing if still 2-stars after a couple years of Juco ball?

It is pretty funny how a lot of people not too long ago, who were dismissing the star theory and how they are allocated to each athlete are now singing the praises of the rankings that our class is getting. One minute its " It doesn't matter how many stars they have" to "We have X number of 3 star athletes compared to X school" LOL. It's good stuff. The problem is, it depends on which service you look at. Rivals has us with 8 three star athletes and Scout has us with 2. Last year's class had one so it would somewhat compare to this year's class if judging by scout even though i think we all agree that we are getting some extremely gifted athletes more ready to play early now than last year. It's all a matter of perspective I guess

Ha...Z...I guess we all have some "attorney" in us. We tend to use or disregard whatever data supports or hurts our case!

Correct, I know I definitely have the attorney in me although I couldn't follow in the father's footsteps on that one. However, I do tend to look at the stars of players and how they are ranked. I also try to keep an open mind about them in knowing there are many circumstances that surround the rankings of players or lack thereof. I do remember seeing about a month or so ago though many sharing that the star rankings of players are overblown especially for players who fall through the cracks and that they mean nothing. Now, many of those people are all into the class rankings we have now that we've improved 20 or so spots. It's good stuff and its better than complaining about everything that is our program. Notice we've had only one band and cheerleader thread about how they need to improve? Usually, that's frontline material.
