Which is why I’d imagine only one way our recruiting rankings improve.

That’s to win games and be a top 25 team “consistently.” That will “force” them to rate the kids we bring in higher.

As you said, we aren’t making them money because our fan base isn’t paying for their recruiting services/ratings/tidbits/etc. and as long as they don’t give “our guys” positive evals, our fan base won’t flock to them in droves, which would then encourage them to improve our ratings and start that positive feedback loop.

If all kids were rated based on what they actually bring to the table and no outside factors, stars would matter a whole lot more to me. Heck they make a big deal every year in the super bowl of how many 2-3 star college prospects there are in the game. I’d wager a bunch of those guys weren’t “underrated” coming out of high school and suddenly became ten times better. I’d wager most of those kids were never given an honest and accurate evaluation in the first place by the services that “gave” them their stars.

There’s a reason teams don’t just go get the guy recruiting services have the most highly rated and they do their own evaluations on every single player they consider giving a scholarship to.
