AJ Dillon was a composite 4 star yesterday...what service did rankings updates?

Submitted by Champeen on

One of the 4 services must have done rankings updates because AJ Dillon was a composite 4 star yesterday.  Matter of fact, our class was 8th - now dropped to 9th after he was degraded to composite 3*.

Anyone know what recruiting service updated rankings today/yesterday?

No big deal, just curious.

No, he wasn't a composite 4-star yesterday. Ace even covered his rankings in the hello post saying that every top player we've gotten from MA has been ranked in the 3/4 range because of the competition out there and AJ was in that same category.

This kid is likely not we scouted because of the talent level in the MA area, which is pretty obvious by the huge descrepancies in ratings including a generic 3* from ESPN, who rarely does their homework on anyone that doesn't camp with them.  Let's just keep trusting the guy who has a resume of creating pros and also evaluating them well as an NFL coach.  He knows what a football player looks like

and moved up. ESPN is known for being late in rating players. Maybe they just added a lot to their database. It's also possible that 247 corrected their composite calculation. His ranking of #248 didn't seem to match his ratings. In fact, #248 is a number that stands out on a site that promotes their top 247 recruits.

I'm not too worried about it. Both Dillon and Woods look like they should get a bump once they hit the field again this fall. Even the "lower ranked" guys in the '17 class look like they will be big contributors in the future, and the big fish won't really start committing until the upcoming season starts. There are still 19 spots open according to projections. This class will be another monster when it is all said and done.

I just checked his Hello post and 247, Rivals, and Scout have remained unchanged.  ESPN had him as a NR 3* so I don't know how that would change the composite unless they dropped him to a 2*.

None of the sites have moved any of his rankings. He just dropped in the composite from #247 to 350ish for some reason. It may be a glitch in their system or they didn't have it correct yesterday.

ugh

I know the OP said it's not a big deal, but this isn't an issue whatsoever. He still has a senior year to play. Fuck the rankings this early in the process. If Harbaugh and his coaches want this guy, then clearly he is good enough to be at least a project for the squad.

It never fails that when a player commits to Michigan he alleys seems to get bumped down a bit, but when someone choose osu they seem to move up the rankings. It's not always like this but it sure seems to be happening a lot the last 5 or so years.
