Brossette dropped to a 3*

On Rivals. Do they watch film or just go by all star week evals?
This trend of shorts workouts, 7 on 7 and all star week meaning so much is really getting out of control. Not just about Brossette, its a horrible way to base a ranking. They all say its just a part of the process but its pretty apparent it sometimes is the process. Brossette for instance has been a 4* for 2 years and because of one perceived bad week of practice he gets dropped? So why rank kids that didn't even play in an all star game ahead of him? Oh that's right because of film and what they had seen before the all star weeks. Makes no sense to go against what you've seen for 2 years based on one week of practice.
Again not just about Brossette bit the hypocrisy in these rankings. Looking through the position rankings, rivals is really bad. I've never been a fan but they're pushing ESPN level now.
Just had to rant

Brossette a 3*? 
Now, that's some funny shite. These recruiting sites are getting worse every year.

Its all about who they love more, I think. They having fun like any person who erects a battle scene on his kitchen table and plays with those little plastic soldiers by positioning them so he can win the battle.

Yeah we should pass on him now. I am kidding. That's stupid. If he was going to Alabama he may be a 5*.

Spot on... lsufanva!
I also noticed that NB took a major fall in the previous rankings as well. NB fell over 100 spots prior to falling to a 3* in the last rankings. If rivals evaluators now think NB is only a 3* after having ranked so high to begin with what does that say about them as evaluators. That's why I dropped the subscription. Just a waste of money.

I disagree. Most of the film on these recruits shows them matched against grossly inferior athletes. This is one of the few times you can get them together against equivalent competition. Also, kids change a lot at that age, so recent data is better than old data.
I don't have an opinion on Brossette, having never seen him play, but in general more emphasis should be on the results of competition against elites. Remember, that's how Mathieu stood out.

The sports analysts that make those assessments are just writers that are wrong about their predictions a good chunk of the time. Brossette is no question a 4* athlete. frick Rivals. Let them under estimate our talent. Opinions are like assholes.

Do the services drop kids to kind of force their hand in opening up the recruitment or flipping? If they're committed they'll stay a 3.. Open it up or decommit and they may get the 4th star. Kind of fricked up if true.

The funny thing is when he committed to us last year, he was the #4 RB and Guice was the #6 RB. Now he is the #16 RB on composite and #19 RB on 247. That is complete bullshite.
I read on articles high SoSo's overrated arse jumped so high because he had a great senior year, well Brossette did too, and broke the Louisiana rushing TD record.

Another reason why 247 is really the only answer for recruiting questions.
Posted on 1/23/15 at 3:17 pm to lsufanva
247 Seems to be the only reliable recruiting site. Rivals is owned by Yahoo now.

He has always been a 5.7 which should have been a 3 star but I was told that there was a computer error which gave him a 4 star but he was still a 5.7...so his ranking was only corrected and not dropped.
