Didn't Baskerville actually drop in the ratings and was already a four star on 247. These don't include the composite which is what really matters unfortunately. Until scout and rivals update we won't have an accurate depiction.

He is pumping a little bit in this article.

ETA: Baskerville actually dropped 9 spots and already had a 4th star on 247 before the update.

Easily satisfied I see.

How do you like your coffee?



In all seriousness we need 3 top flight receiving prospects plus a top 100 RB for anyone to be legitimately satisfied. Marshall, Chase, Keys or Bolden or both. We need talent on the outside.

If we lose out on Bolden and Chase this class is a Deuce.

Anyone panicking either doesn't follow recruiting, is looking for a reason to complain about Orgeron, or is a fool. Maybe all three.

But, the class is coming together differently than previous years. I really don't question the man running the show (that's Austin Thomas for those that fall into one of the three categories above).

With that said, I encourage people to voice frustrations. It keeps us competitive. It's great our fans care so much. Just stop whining, trolling, and repeating the same cliche lines over and over.

That's a damn fine quote right there.

I may be way off here...

He's been a 247 4* since the March update (mid 100's or thereabouts) and a 3* on the Composite (high-300's) since the same update. Or so I thought.

I definitely remember Shea tweeting out that he was performing very well at the Opening and a 4th star was to be expected.

I can only assume he meant...
A) the opening performance would cause the other services to catch up
B) them catching up would result in a composite 4*

At least that's what I inferred.

I think you are right on this, my comments are more directed to the article where Jimmy makes it seem as if he just now is getting his 4th star when he has been a 4 star for a while on the particular service Jimmy is referencing.

What's up with Nelson Jenkins? That dude was said to be destroying camps. Will he be overlooked for a big bump? I like his measurables and athleticism way better than Cotton, but what do I know.

Seems like he got nicked at a very un-opportune moment at the opening. But his performances to get himself to the opening should've garnered a pretty nice bump. We'll see

Thanks BASED. It seems like just getting into the opening would put him in the top 247. Like you said, I guess we'll see.

The LHSA doesn't allow their players to participate in pads during events like the Opening so he only got a few reps. He also is coming off surgery and had a small injury.

Jenkins is ranked 1000 on 247. That seems criminal

Ah, gotcha. Likely bad writing or oversight not using the word "composite" then on Jimmy Details part.

How many participants at the opening, anyone know off hand? And how does that compare to the number of 247 4*'s (362??)?

NO DOUBT! If he stays healthy he's deffenately gonna make a huge jump in his SR year. That's why it's silly to judge a class this early. He's a take for any SEC program
