Really circular argument here. As for recruiting with the big boys I can't comment as that was never a point I have made. I liked our recruiting when we were after the Scoop and Rick Jackson's of the world paired with guys like K-Jo , CJ etc. Guys who were good recruits who fit well what we wanted to do.

As for rankings and valuing them do you mean the coaching staff or fans? I would doubt our coaches are spending hours waiting on recruiting rankings. It's about tape, seeing games and plugging into networks. Hence why you see names pop up and then the rankings go up later after we have been in t contact with them. Or why you see late additions and relative unknowns become a priority. There is a reason why some people write blogs and evaluate talent and others coach and actually discover it. Rankings are a fun tool for us as a fan along with the media outlets, Vegas etc. As a fan I'm sure why we should value them so much as you speak to it and again the coaches certainly aren't just following rankings to help them set their recruit board. Naturally talent is going to overlap with rankings most of the time but these numbers bounce around so much they become only partially reliable.
