Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 171644, member: 837"] I think it's been done and they generally correlate to some degree. But the point is always are they predictive or reactive? In other words recruiting rankings weren't predicting Boise State's sudden emergence onto the national scene or Notre Dame's general mediocrity for the better part of the last decade (15 years?) or Cincy's dominance of the BE for a couple years? Not that I saw. I never see Boise around the rankings and ND is always top 25, generally top 10 and Cincy was always bringing in classes in the 50s even with Brian Kelly. So it's fine to say, "Alabama got a ton of good players" but unless you're signing the cream of the crop I'm not sure these sites can accurately distinguish the differences (which isn't to say SU has a good class or a bad class, merely that we don't know).
