Why no love from Scout?

Submitted by ThadMattasagoblin on

I've noticed that all of the recruits that we've gotten besides one have been four stars from rivals, but only about half are four stars from scout.  Is this because scout gives out less four stars in the beginning or are both sites just that different when it comes to rating the players?

They haven't ranked many players yet. These guys will all end up 4 stars once Scout gets around to it. Ace can't work for every college football website, so we have to be more patient sometimes.

24/7 is quickly becoming my favorite (though I don't subscribe to any). They are fast, accurate and seem to have a good mix of talent evaluation from the Mid-West.

1) 24/7 Sports

2) Scout

3) Rivals

4) ESPN (sorry TVH)

And wasn't Thomas Gordon their QB at the time as well?

they definitely send a lot of defensive backs to Michigan

2008: Boubacar Cissoko

2009: Thomas Gordon

2010: Dior Mathis - Oregon

2011: Delonte Hollowell

2012: Terry Richardson

2013: Jourdan Lewis

Who's gonna be next?

I don't blame them for not having all of their rankings out.  it's awfully early and they have chosen not to get caught up in the race to have their rankings out the second after signing day. They'll get a much better look at prospects after the summer camp circuit.

Sugar Shane is one of their initial 10 5 stars, and the rest of the guys will get their due. If you had taken 5 minutes to look at Scouts full 2013 rankings, you could've probably figured out the answer to your question.

ESPN also doesn't shift their evaluations much from where they initially set the kids at as well.  Look at Pipkins last year for a prime example.  Rivals, Number 14 in the nation after great camps...he jumped huge, ESPN, not even listed.  ESPN also favors some conferences and camps more as well.

These are all solid recruits. Hoke is building our next offense before our very eyes. Everybody was complaining how the onfield success didn't seem to be yielding results well I think we can put that theory to rest. Though there were some people who said that 2013 would be where we would feel the effect.
