247 Rankings updates - 2022 Football targets
Saw on the Twitters that 247 came out with updated rankings today so I took a look....
Not a whole lot of change for our 5 current commits.
There was notable movement on several targets. Notes: I do not consider myself a recruitnik so please feel free to add and correct as needed. I have used 247's numbers as they are the most recent site to do an update.
QB -- M put out recent offers to 3 QBs. The 2 I remembered were Drew Allar from Ohio and Cade Klubnik (?) from TX. -- Allar jumped over 350 spots to #89 overall and a rating of 94. Klubnik jumped 120 spots to 99 overall.
TE - Oscar Delp out of GA (M was his first offer and he grew up a M fan fwiw) jumped about 200 spots to 81 overall -- This appears to be a UGA v. M battle per a recent Webb/Lorenz podcast
WR - Illinois targets Caleb Brown and Tyler Morris both fell 15-20 spots to #59 and #78 respectively. Both held their 247 ratings so this was a case of others moving up. I believe Brown is considered a M v OSU battle where Morris is considered most likely to M.
CB - M legacy "5-star" Will Johnson shows down 18 spots to 33 in the new 247 rankings - outside their traditional 5-star cutoff. This one is strange to me and I assume will change as the cycle progresses. Currently 247 has only 4 listed 5-stars, only 7 prospects rated 96 or higher, and prospects 8-45 all have the same 95 rating as Johnson. Johnson announces this Sunday between M, USC, and OSU with M considered the most likely destination.
RB -- Gavin Sawchuck out of Colorado is considered a 5-star by the composite is in the same range as Johnson on 247 at 44 overall and a 95 rating (down 1). Apparently he is Mike Hart's #1 target though current Ballz are 100% to OU.

Where is Brown on our board? Would we really take two slot guys in him and Morris? I think they're both talented enough that you do, but I think Sam has mentioned we want two bigger receivers as well. I can see there being a bit of a numbers crunch here.

We would definitely take both. With the rise of the transfer portal, it doesn't matter if you have an abundance of players at a position, you take talent if they want in. Things will figure themselves out when they get on campus and the best player will play.

Didn't want a five start RB anyways ;-)
