Scout has updated their rankings
Notes on some of the Michigan commits:
Jabrill Peppers is up to #7 overall (from #11) and #2 CB (from #4).
Drake Harris is down 2 spots to #28 overall, one spot away from being a 5 star.
Chase Winovich is now a 4 star (from 3 star) and #17 OLB (from #28).
Ian Bunting is still a 3 star, which seems a little surprising.
Wilton Speight is also still a 3 star.
Anyone know how quickly 24/7 will rerelease their aggregate?
In addition, another change that should be noted is that Brady Palante (grey-shirt) is now 3 stars (instead of "NR" - not rated).
This adds 40 points (for purposes of the Scout team ranking methodology) and, together with the cumulative effect of all changes on the date hereof, pushes our team ranking up to #2 (behind Texas A&M).
When these recruiting sites "update" their rankings and shuffle guys around 5 spots.
You mean we're getting the #7 player in the country now instead of the #11!?? NICE!
I like how you have 3 pts and flamebait.
ugh someone bumped it up to 4 normal. Don't worry though, I marked it flamebait for ya!
Damn you
Currently 4 flamebait, think it's possible to be 5 flamebait?
...and that's what is most important.
Better than being completely wrong and being a sweetheart about it.
Not anymore. You're welcome.
Now he has four points, but it's still "flamebait."
That someone got better or worse, or they found some top 100 player they've never seen before, in JUNE. But it's hard to make money that way.
That made the #11 player 4 spots better in the first week of June. They're just making shit up for hits. I mean, if more updates is better, why not do one every day? They must have been working and learned something since yesterday, right?
Scout was so good at their recruitng rankings last year, I wonder why they suck so much this year?
ESPN and 247sports are the best. Their team rankings are so accurate especially #1.
247sports has Texas A&M as #1 after Kyle Allen committed.
And ESPN is clearly better this year
Were there not that many TEs at the Columbus NFTC? He won MVP and a spot at the Opening. Maybe these rankings were set before then, or maybe that performance wasn't enough to overcome their other doubts.
From what I've read the concerns with Bunting are related to his durability (he was hurt each of the last two years). I'm still surprised that's enough to keep him from getting a fourth star given his talent.
Bunting has never played tight end and is still very skinny. It's not too surprising that he's ranked as a 3-star - he's ranked as a 3-star to Rivals, too. The two sites that list him as a 4-star are the ones with the shortest track record of doing these rankings.
I don't think you understand the scientific principle that all UM commits should be rated at least a 4 star.
I don't think the Bunting reactions is homerism. You would have to be blind not to see the potential in him as a receiving tight end.
Well all that matters to me is that you approve of him Magnus. So... welll.. do you?
I approve of no one except Miranda Kerr.
Also probably rating him as a 4-star:
The coaching staffs at:
- Michigan
- Florida State
- Nebraska
- Notre Dame
- Ohio State
- Oklahoma
- Oregon
- USC
- ... and many others (VA Tech, Wisconsin, Northwestern, etc.)
His offer list suggests that 247 and ESPN might be onto something with this one.
Coaching staffs are just as capable of whiffing on kids as recruiting sites. Vladimir Emilien had offers from Ohio State, Stanford, and Tennessee. Anthony Lalota had offers from Florida, Florida State, and Notre Dame. Je'Ron Stokes had offers from Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Penn State. Justin Turner had an offer from Ohio State.
None of them have panned out...
So that means both coaching staffs and recruiting sites whiffed.
Vlad Emilien, in particular, suffered a debilitating injury which he never fully recovered from. He said one of the reasons Michigan got him was the fact that they persisted when other schools were backing away from their offers. But it didn't pan out. Also: insert list of kids with elite offer sheets who have worked out HERE. Longer list, isn't it?
So...what you're saying is that some guys with elite offer lists pan out, and some don't. Got it.
Pretty disappointing this time.
Well yes, everyone in the world of projecting football talent from high school to college makes mistakes. Obviously. Your original point, though, was that we should probably trust Rivals and Scout (which are relatively low on Bunting) over 247 and ESPN (which are relatively high on Bunting). My point is that if you're going to do that, you're really trusting Rivals and Scout over 247, ESPN, and the coaches at a whole lot of programs that can be extremely selective with their offers.
False. What I'm saying is that if there are four major sites, and 50% of them already rank him as a 3-star, it should not be a "surprise" that he's still ranked as a 3-star, especially when the two sites that rank him as a 3-star have a longer/better track record.
and they are capable of getting things right too, and giving higher internal evaluations to players that eventually turn out to be good but who were rated poorly. [insert examples]. there, ball has not advanced at all.
That's basically my point.
not only has he not played TE yet but he hasn't finished a full year of football since his freshman year. At this point durability has to be a concern atleast in the back of your mind
meh
I'm not really concerned about their ranking. They are good enough for the coaches, which is why they recruited them.
PEPPERS ONLY NUMBER 7!!!1! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE
