247 updates their recruit rankings today.
When does EA Sports NCAA Football come out? I'm always interested in the end of the season rating jumps.
According to their proposal to schools on revenue splits, it looks like they are aiming for the first game to be NCAA Football 2024, which would probably come out in 2023.
Yeah I saw the same thing. July of '23. I was kinda bummed it's not next year but *hopefully* this means it will be really well done....
If it’s anything like most other EA Sports games in the last 7-8 years, gameplay will be shit and glitches will happen all the time, but EA won’t care because they’ll be sitting back and counting all the cash they make on people paying microtransactions for select players or loot boxes (which is basically unlicensed gambling for kids).
That being said, I’m still so excited to buy the new NCAA game!
I'm looking to install NCAA Football Revamped, which is an updated version of 14. I've been enjoying Maizenbrew's simulation of the 2021 schedule.
Can you download the entire game via playstation network to a PS4? my old hard copy of the game freezes and wont allow me to play a game let alone do much else.
Same here. Worked fine last year.
I'd expect most of our commits to rise if the staff's evaluations have been correct. Denegal falling wouldn't shock me and Tyler Morris falling wouldn't shock me either
Problem is if the recruiting sites still haven’t made an effort to evaluate some of those potential late risers yet, their ratings won’t change much.
“If the staff’s evaluations are correct,” implies the recruiting sites get it right all the time eventually also. Which isn’t the case. They still criminally underrate guys. They still overvalue their own camps (some kids don’t camp much), so there’s a lot of reasons the rankings won’t necessarily adjust accurately.
Let’s not forget, some of these sites didn’t even have recruiting profiles for some of these guys a couple weeks ago. I’m not very confident they properly evaluated them in that time. So even if we do see some risers it could just be based off of offers and commit status. Which, again, doesn’t spell accuracy from the sites.
I see Myles Pollard, Eugenio, and Lorenzetti rising. Loveland is already a 4* so he's probably not going anywhere. Kevonte Henry could rise as well.
Tyler Morris seems like a guy who will get passed by a bunch of risers, but whose stock isn't actually falling.
Among our targets, Deone Walker, Dillon Bell, and Ja'Kobi Albert could all rise.
I see Deone Walker as a top 150 player eventually. Denegal falling is not surprising, 247 already has him at a 3 star, they probably drop him just a little. And Trent is about where he should be IMO.
Yea upon closer inspection, there are several QBs behind Denegal who probably should be ahead of him, so I can see him falling further.
I think Walker would be better at OT than DT, but that lack of positional clarity may hold him back from reaching that high.
Trent had some really poor track times (like translating to 4.9+ 40 poor), so his current 3* grade makes sense, as he still has a great frame and ball skills.
Marlin Klein SHOULD get a bump, but I don't know if he will. Otherwise, I would not be surprised to see Myles Pollard and Alessandro Lorenzetti move up.
Agree on Klein. That size/speed combo is scary. 6' 6" 230 in the 4.5s. Huge potential
Every single Michigan commit better rise or I'm calling President Biden.
Former Michigan staffers Chris Singletary and Cooper Petagna are both now on the 247 scouting team, so they better! The Sparty tears any time one of our guys rise are gonna be amazing.
I expect the biggest boosts for players who've committed to schools in areas where 247 has a high concentration of subscribers.
S-E-C!
We need these recruits' ratings to improve so that we can win the recruiting season!... whatever that means.
Michigan is not a contender in the annual dick-measuring contest for "No. 1 Recruiting Class." Once a kid commits to UM we should be looking at his rank vs. the other players on our team, not the other players on the internet. Hoping that Marlin Klein rises from TE #27 to, what... TE #22? That's a sad little vanity play that marks us as a mediocre program. We need to get back in the hunt for the top tier players before we start tracking the rise and fall of our recruits.
"Michigan is not a contender in the annual dick-measuring contest for "No. 1 Recruiting Class." "... In football FIFY
Not for the #1 class but we still need to be able to swing our big recruiting dick around at programs like Wisconsin and Michigan State. Y'know, to make sure they know we're still better than them at stuff.
Speaking of rankings did anyone see the new On3 2021 rankings? They’re pretty different from Rivals and 247. I heard that there 2022 rankings will factor into the composite once they come out too.
Same guy who started Rivals and 247sports correct? I’d rather have Rivals, 247sports and this new site over espn.
I believe Jim Heckman founded Rivals, and Shannon Terry founded 247.
I think this is as far as they've gotten so far. Worthy at #17 and McCarthy and Edwards outside of 5* range obviously hurt. But they're launching their site next month, so there does seem to be some attention grabbing going on (like Tuimoloau at #25)
Is their staff full of OSU fans or something? It's like they're trolling us with those 5 star rankings in multiple ways
Worthy at #17 and McCarthy and Edwards outside of 5* range obviously hurt.
They're the same guys regardless of their rating, y'know? It's not like if those two got rated higher then Michigan would have a better season. I don't understand how it "obviously hurts."
Will Johnson moved down 2 spots because of risers. Tyler Morris moved up 2 spots to 75 so that’s a good sign. Those were on 247 rankings. Johnson actually moved up 1 on the composite. Morris moved up one of the composite as well.
Houser for MSU moved up a bunch. Dillon Tatum moved down 6 spots on the composite due to risers. Still 100% crystal balled to UofM.
Mario Eugenio moved up one on the composite to 294. Kody Jones moved down 2 to 318. Deone Walker moved down 1 to 325.
Not a lot of movement for Michigan guys. Some guys you would have expected to make a decent jump and they actually moved down slightly.
Have any updates beyond the top 247 been posted?
I’m not an expert at reading 247sports site but I believe they have. Looking at Mario Eugenio, when he committed he was a .9007 on the composite. He was the number 23 edge to 247sports when he committed and now he is number 25. And his composite score is .8992.
Those were composite updates last week. You can see the moves if you click on rank history. He hasn’t been moved today.
Houser should have moved up. I wish Michigan had got in on him (assuming character, grades, etc. are solid). He's a better prospect than Denegal, IMO.
No doubt, I’m surprised Michigan didn’t show more interest in him.
So wait, they don't update these things....24/7?
It turns out that 24/7 refers to your expected time commitment, not their actual effort.
Just so everyone is aware who follows recruits, Trent has transferred to Harper Woods. He is going to get a much better opportunity to showcase himself this year.
This class so far is the worst per recruit ranking under JH's tenure, just behind the 2018 class. This is not surprising given last year's performance and all the coaching turnover. The staff has gotten a few guys they really wanted, some of which were highly ranked (Johnson & Morris), some of which were in the middle (Eugenio, Jones, & Trent) and some of which are a little lower (Pollards & Loveland). But, the 2017 class was the highest rated and we all know how that turned out. Hopefully the new staff can do a bit better with development & retention and with a few flashes of development and maybe an upset win or two and maybe JH gets off the hot seat and we get back into the .90/.91 per recruit range in 2023. A big year for guys like McNamara & the WRs on offense and Mazi, Hinton, & Hutch on defense could really help. Then again, maybe JH is gone. Either way it will be an interesting year. It feels like a "shit or get off the pot" kind of season for JH's tenure.
I 100% thought you were referring to the basketball rankings and even went to the 247 basketball website to check for articles. When I came back here and saw somebody mention that it's not surprising that "JH's" class is lower ranked, I was then confused.
Then I remembered that both our basketball and football coaches are JH.
And thus ended my journey of confusion.
Ah, you were on the east coast when you should have been on the west coast.
12. Kool-aid McKinstry. Awesome.
