Hunter Johnson Supplants Dylan McCaffrey As New No. 1 QB in 247Sports Composite

Do not want.

Who does #2 work for?

McCaffrey is still #1 in my QB rankings.

Booooo. But probably expected since a lot of people have been raving about Hunter Johnson (wasn't he #1 before?) and Davis Mills. I'm happy with McCaffrey and we have Harbaugh which is the biggest trump card

Same as above edit

Brandon Peters was Hunter's nemesis in high school and will continue to be in college. HARBAUGH!

Interesting when you consider both still have a senior season to play.

Where they start that matters. It's where they finish. Jim Harbaugh>Dabo Swinney Besides that...BOO!!!

Doesn't matter.  Plus, there's still another season of football to settle who's #1.

I will take Dylan McCaffrey any day over any other QB right now.  Sports Illustrated did a great article on his brother Christian a month ago, that also provides a lot of insight into his family, upbringing, and athletic lineage.  There's also some good bits in there about Dylan.  Great read:

Rabble rabble rabble

someway, this is Nick Saban's fault.

If Johnson would have received that boost if he were committed to, say Indiana, or any northern school for that matter. I think it's just "southern love"

Boo. Still a long way to go with the rankings for 2017.

ok

Eh. What this means is that Michigan and Clemson both have great QB commits. Recruiting rankings are indeed a good big-picture tool to evaluate quality of recruits, but at this level the fact that McCaffrey (whose 22 ranking is still incredibly robust for a QB) got jumped a few spots by a guy who we may never play against means little. 

And we all know it, which is why nobody on this thread has said anything even mildly serious that is bad about 247. 

I would have to brush up on my QB recruiting history, but my recollection is that QBs are rather variable in their per-ranking performance; coaching and teammates matter everywhere, but it is even more of an issue with QBs where the tools necessary to be great aren't yet fully developed or revealed.

Of course, neither of these guys are a sure, sure thing, which is why Harbaugh wisely recruits a good QB every year. Unlike some other coaches I can think of.

he earned tons of praise last summer for his camp performances, yet when watching him against Peters in their game last year, Peters was the superior player.  

I'll take the guy that Harbaugh prioritizes, and from all the chatter I could gather, Peters was 1b to KJ Costello, and Harbaugh had a chance to pursue Eason late(after Richt was fired), but didn't do it so as not to upset the applecart with Peters.

And he also prioritized McCaffrey in the 2017 class.  Johnson was committed to Tennessee and now Clemson, but Harbaugh hasn't let that stop him from pursuing other prospects that he really wants.

Looks like Harbaugh is landing who he really wants to land at the QB spot, and his evaluations are a heck of a lot more valuable than a recruiting site.

Brownsburg is right next to Avon(where our very own Brandon Petersis from), nice little hotbed of good QB talent. Smart of Harbaugh camping down in Indy every year.

Still #1 in my heart.

andrew luck was ranked #3 behind dayne cryst and blaine gabbert

I like it, those two seem to be the clear leaders for top qb. I bet they view it as a rivalry and competition. What is the over/under on how many times the rankings swing back and forth.

Two thousandths of a point better.

Splitting hairs at this point. Both players will prove to be great.

while Colorado doesn't have all that many D1 athletes, if you are going to have connections to a school in Colorado, that school should be Valor Christian. Thee powerhouse school in Colorado (yes, I know Colorado is week overall).

Johnson reminds me of Christian Hackenberg.
