Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 1643078, member: 485"] The rankings are only a rough measure and the same can be said for high school stats, or metrics of size & speed, or relative interest from P5 schools. The ratings can be wildly inaccurate in individual cases -- two star guys (Pugh, Chandler Jones, Mike Williams) can exceed expectations, and four star prospects can be busts. Our running back, Fredericks, had a position ranking of 130 or so based on his junior year. He added size, put up terrific senior year numbers, was player of the year in NYS, and his ranking (on Scout) did not change. Erv Phillips is a similar case. Having said that, the rankings might be roughly correct in judging that Pitt has the #35 class, and SU is somewhere in the 50s. With the ACC, and a new IPF, SU is trending up. It looks like two solid, deep classes back to back (Shafer's 2015 class was also rated in the 50s). Now, show a fast, dynamic offense and move up the ranks. [/QUOTE]
