Just took a look at the ESPN Top 300 recruits list...

Does OM even have a redshirt program?

Their boat has sprung a leak, more details to come.

Richmond is supposed to visit TN this weekend. Be great if he would flip to them.

Looking at 247 we have 3 recruits that are rated:

89 (4*)
88 (3*)
88 (3*)


What's the freaking difference? I hate when everyone freaks out about stars. Just look at their offers and realize they are good players

[Schultzy]

A high school ref says if you knew how many unrated players were 3*, how many two's were 3 and four; how many three's should be unrated, how many 4 stars should be three's, and why all the fives should remain 5's or at least fours we would better understand why all the big budget schools play for the National Championship regularly while the other 90 percent of the schools fight like hell to remain either relevant or semi relevant each year which is now, more recently,, worth a lot of money.

ETA: stars do matter while at the same time the rating services are terrible at rating the mass of humanity in HS football that are truly 3* and under

We were ranked Number One this past season for five weeks straight with what our previous four recruiting classes ranked. You have to recruit well but it's so damn subjective and luck matters too, whether you're a good evaluator or a good recruiter.

Several more of their commits are visiting.

Recuitapalooza didn't work.

I've already made my thoughts on the recruiting issue clear--Dan is almost beyond reproach with his on-field results. But, for example, if Ole Miss ends up with 9 top players to our 6, then that is a HUGE difference. Them getting 50% more "blue chip" recruits than us is a lot. Over 4-5 years, that is 12-15 more good players--if you believe in stars

The main reason they are getting the hype is because of the top end talent, especially if they get the other two that are leaning their way. Sure, it does not sound as bad saying OM is getting 9 top 300 compared to MSU getting 6. BUT, they hype and difference is OM could be signing 5 top 100 compared to MSU signing 1.

Just looked at the "Top 247" prospects according to 247, and the totals are...

Ole Miss: 6 in the top 247
MSU: 4 in the top 247

Better? Still basically the same and maintains my point.

Yep better for making your argument... Even though I now see why you went with ESPN. While they are the worst at evaluating talent, they do have the biggest network that gets airtime for schools based off of their horrible rankings.

[SheltonChoked]

So if Leo flips we will be tied with them on 4 star or better on all the services except scout?!?!?

That makes me want him to flip even more


And remind me who does YP write for?
