Rivals rates fake recruit - proving they don't even look at film for these ratings.

[Knight Strength]

Let alone evaluate athletes in person.

Funny but also disappointing. Even though we all believed this already.

This kind of thing has happend with a lot of news organizations. Highschool athlete ratings is small potatoes to some of the "fake news" thats been released by major news networks but it sucks because we know recruiting class rankings are a data point used against our team.

247 has guys predicted to sign with teams that haven't even offered them a scholarship and 247 gives 3 stars to just about every recruit. Our top 4 teams (CUSA) signed 28, 25, 23, and 20 3 stars. As you can see 247 puts no time into evaluating players. Gives everyone 3 stars. Rivals is much more realistic.

And recruiting rankings are now useless.

They always have been. I learned that by going to practices.

Not going to take the bait. Ha

In all seriousness tho, y’all always seemed to have our number. Wish y’all were in the American instead of Tulane or tulsa

 

[Knight Strength]

Agree with some points above. I believe 247 messes up just as much. Just haven't messed up in this way yet.

 

[UCF Tampa Knight]

Not only do they not look at the film, but most of these recruits are rated before their senior years and their ratings don't change unless they pick up some high profile offers.

A lot of these players are rated based on their offers which to be honest is a decent metric as there are way more coaches out there recruiting than people rating on recruiting websites.

They use very simple formulas to rate players. Here’s an example

1) SEC = 4 and 5 Stars

2). UCF = 3 Stars

3). If unsure, refer to #1 or #2

Yeah, they were some fun games. I made the trip to Orlando for every single football game we played y'all in.

Obviously. Id want to get out of Hattiesburg as often as I could as well.
