Do got...

It will be interesting to see if he gets a 5 star on the composite despite not being a five star on any of the sites.
February 22nd, 2016 at 2:55 PM ^
(4+4+4)/3 = 5
February 22nd, 2016 at 3:03 PM ^
But, thats not how the math works out. If Dylan is a high 4-star on all the sites in the composite, and the guys ahead of him all have some outliers that bring down their average, he could end up averaging up to a five star just based on the consistency of his rankings.

why should we do math if we came here to play MGOBLOG, we aint' come to play MATH, math is USELESS

Oh, I know it's possible. I just think it's funny and totally strange that you can be a consensus 4* on the individual sites and yet a composite 5* on 247.

The Harbaugh bump is real!

You mean Harbump?

I wonder if Jim used that phrase when Sarah was pregnant???

Yeah, I misread this as though it was in response to something that doesn't even make sense to me now. So I'm just going to go ahead and neg my comment. Nothing else to see here...

Anything Harbaugh is real!

Note to anyone wondering where the other Rivals thread went - it conveyed essentially the same information as this one, but the information that those merely skimming the board will likely want to see (i.e., the Dylan McCaffrey item) is summarized in the title here, so this one remained.
I know the OP of the other thread is relatively new, so they may or may not have run into this particular situation with threads before, if they are wondering where their thread went.

The #content has been shared and that's all that matters!

This list annoys me because the names aren't clickable.
February 22nd, 2016 at 1:54 PM ^
Rivals and Scout both have horrendous user interfaces. I think it's one of the main reasons 247 was able to surpass them in popularity, despite being relatively new to the market.
February 22nd, 2016 at 2:33 PM ^
I think the composite and crystal ball aspects have been the other major factors that has given them the edge.
February 22nd, 2016 at 2:34 PM ^
That along with the crystal ball and the composite are why 247 has surpassed both in such a short time
February 22nd, 2016 at 3:26 PM ^
I personally prefer the service that most highly rates whatever Michigan recruit I happen to be interested at that time.
February 22nd, 2016 at 1:51 PM ^
Good for Dylan and good for us!!!
Maybe I missed it, but why was he not offered by Stanford as he is a legacy who is an outstanding prospect AND I think would fit their system, or did he just shut them down from the word go?

Dylan wanted to do his own thing and didn't necessarily want to be in his brother's and dad's shadow at Stanford. He has also been a bit of a Michigan fan for a few years, actually due to the basketball team's success (finally it impacted recruiting!). Combining that with the opportunity to learn from Harbaugh and Stanford going hard after other QB prospects for now, McCaffery was comfortable choosing Michigan. I'm sure Stanford had interest in him but just had other guys rated higher they wanted to focus on. If they were to miss on those guys (unlikely, I'm sure they will get a good qb) they would probably really press for Dylan late and hope that the legacy aspect is enough to flip him, but he seems all Michigan now.
February 22nd, 2016 at 2:19 PM ^
In 5-6 years, we'll look back and acknowledge that either Brandon Peters or Dylan McCaffrey is the best QB in school history.
There's my not so bold prediction that only I will remember in 2022.
In all honesty, I do believe that the winner will be right at the top of the all-time list when it's all said and done. Just my opinion - but I think with Harbaugh and their talent, we're in for something legendary.

or not, he will end up being one during his time in A2 and probably a top 5 pick in the draft if he progresses like we think he can/will.
February 22nd, 2016 at 2:31 PM ^
Currently I have him projected to take the reins from Matt Stafford in 2023.

Watched it as well. I think everyone who watched that game came away with the same conclusion.

They used to be teammates and Johnson transferred because he couldn't beat out Peters. It's the reason I never thought Michigan had a chance to land him. My guess is he struggles during camps in the summer and drops in the rankings in a similar fashion to Shane Morris. Has a very strong arm but not much more.
February 22nd, 2016 at 2:47 PM ^
Touch the Banner had a short scouting blurb on Hunter stating that he is given simplistic reads, where he reads just half the field, two reads tops, as opposed to having to go through a complete progression.
February 22nd, 2016 at 2:59 PM ^
Wasn't Morris the opposite? Looked good at camps and 7 on 7s because there was no rush defense and he has a really strong arm, but didn't put up good stats in HS and his team was pretty bad.
February 22nd, 2016 at 5:56 PM ^
had some struggles at camps with his accuracy. Him and Norfleet were great together in 7 on 7s. High school senior season was rough due to bad oline and receivers that couldn't catch his passes and then mono which ended it after only 5 games.
