re: Just look at how well that 3 star de did in spring game--Justin Thomas

What people don't realize is that recruiting rankings depend on two things besides actual talent.

1. How many offers you have. The more offers you have the more interest you bring to their site. On top of that they can rank you high and say look at all the schools that want him they can't all be wrong. See Priest Willis, Max Browne, Asante Wullard, Chris Davenport.

2. How early you commit.
It's hard to sell subscriptions to multiple sites with a kid who has been committed for over a year. Guice decommited from LSU at a point because his ranking was dropping. Then he played like he was interested in Bama and his ranking went back up.

The recruiting services want guys that have a bunch of offers and can't decide on a school to be ranked higher, they come with more stories; which means more subscriptions.

Once upon a time everyone cried because we only have 12 commits at this time. Once upon a time everyone cried about kids still taking trips to other schools or putting %'s on how committed they are. Now you all are crying because we have too many recruits and they aren't ranked where you want.

I guess you all are going to find a reason to complain about something
