#9 in 247 as well. Granted we have the most commits out of all the schools so far. But it is still a huge accomplishment to be up there in any capacity.

Can’t say I buy into your methodology. Both GT and Syracuse have one four star. But Syracuse has another 15 three star recruits and GT an additional 2 three stars.

The fact that Syracuse has so many additional three star recruits greatly waters down their average. To say that GT class is better than Syracuse I can’t see. I’d much rather have ours wouldn’t you?

And just how do these numbers shift if Hilson flips from Florida State to Cuse?

Yeah, I dont agree with just using an average percentage to rank a class. By that logic, Syracuse should have stopped recruiting after we landed Sharlandiin. Then we’d have a much better class.

It's April. The rankings mean NOTHING. Maybe on early signing day we can see how we stack up but it still means NOTHING.

 

[djorange1989]

You look at the offer lists for a lot of these kids, that alone tells you the arrow is pointing up.

 

[mark79]

I personally wouldn’t say they mean nothing because we can look at them in context of past years at this time and say that we have made great progress.

Agreed this is foolish it’s mainly based on the number of recruits we have. It seems evident Fran has gotten really good players despite what a website might say

 

[orangefog]

I look at this way, while I love getting a 4 star kid, because it's instant credibility. The fact that Fran is taking commitments from these kids in March and April is huge. We are not desperate. It means they fit in to Fran's vision for the program. And, Fran's vision for the program is championships. So, I am happy about every single one of these players no matter what they are ranked and where we are in the recruiting rankings.

I'm happy about all the kids we're landing, and their measurables/offer lists.

These sites wouldn't be in business if they weren't giving out their arbitrary rankings. I'm sure the Cuse site is getting more traffic and subscriptions now, so maybe that's why we aren't seeing our new recruits getting ranked poorly.

It the grand scheme of a final recruiting ranking, yes.

In the context of comparing to our own recruiting cycles over the past 20 years, it means A LOT.

And a number of these recruits only have us a couple other schools now. But the big schools know that Fran is a great evaluater of talent and will start looking and offering.
I would expect a number of the recruits to be bumped up, call it the Fran effect.

We know most of our classes in the last 20 years were not good, and we know that last year's, and the next two, will be much better. We don't need the sites to tell us that. All you need is an offer list.

There is Marketing value to it. And that is a real thing.

There is Marketing value to it. And that is a real thing.

Marketing value in which way? More marketing value than winning games? More marketing value than beating your peer programs head to head? If you're talking about players looking at it, I'm sure they're more interested in if they know the people that are going to be attending, or what their offer lists look like.

It's incremental at absolute best.
