In the latest 247 update, overall some in the 2026 class saw upgrades, others saw downgrades. Overall class ranking did go from 23 to 25, so I guess more downgrade than upgrade. One of the notable jumps I saw was Alexander Haskell earned his 4th star in the latest update.

I don't think any SU guys saw downgrades in 247 that I saw. I don't think its often that a guy gets downgraded in 247 but maybe it happens occasionally. The composite often will go down, but that is reflective from the other sites I assume. Like the RB Sheffey's composite seems to have gone down pretty steadily over the past year or two, but his 247 ranking has not changed from an 86.

Actually after taking a quick look, it seems like a fair amount of SU commits got a significant boost on the 11/19 rankings adjustments. If our class ranking was better than the 25 it is now, that is likely because other colleges kids got boosted a bit higher than SU's by comparison. I think the rankings go up over time in general. Like if you look at 247 ranking for 2027 kids, they likely have a kid who may be #20 in the nation as a 4 star at the moment. The #20 kid in the nation will end up being a 5 star later on. This makes sense as kids develop and get better their rankings get better. Not often does a kids talent get worse.

Zaid Lott from 85 to 86
Haskel from 88 to 90
Jojo White with a big jump from 85 to 88
Zikhere Leaks from 85 to 87
Ibn Muhammad from 85 to 87
