Why doesn't some of the other recruiting sites or media outlets call them out as to how biased they are towards Bama and the guy running the site favors Bama? How can a kid drop 50 slots (Hootie) without playing one down in an all-star game and virtually nothing has changed about him other than he de-committed to Bama.

Don't worry. Hootie will get his 50 spots back as soon as he resigns with bama.

because the whole industry is based on opinion. Not fact.

Good gravy. If that actually happens there has to be someone with a voice to call them out on that.

Yet people get waaay too bent out of shape when one guy says something that another doesn't agree with.

Generally if a lot of schools are after a kid, the kid is a big time recruit. After that? It's pretty damn subjective who is better than who.

Then that sucks for them, until they realize none of this shite matters the day they step foot on a college campus.

They will have to redo those rankings again in about 2 weeks--after the all American games. They are gonna be in quite a pickle when all of the LSU targets/commits ball out, forcing them to have 10 of those guys in the top 30.

Doesn't help that people cherry pick examples to prove there ridiculous point of view.

Bama has a few 3 stars committed. If these sites are bumping their recruits, why are they still only 3 stars? It's a silly conspiracy theory.

It's not a conspiracy theory when one of the sites came out and stated "Have no idea how Alabama is not the Number 1 class" at one point. They outed themselves.

The bama recruiting gods punished him for decommiting from bama. Pretty obvious. Not very professional on 247s part. In line with the trash that makes up most of that state.

The composite, to me is the best score out there. It uses the average ranking of all the main sites including theirs. I wouldn't worry about it anyway. Russell Shep was a 5 star, Loston was #1 saftey in the country. We have had countless 3 star players play better than both of those.
