Rivals 2022 5 stars

Dropped them yesterday with the 250 coming today. Some huge difference between them and 247 on a few of these kids particularly Armella, Hicks, Dewberry and Tyre West. Also not sure how these sites are justifying some of the massive moves with very little new stuff to go on

Two years out. No camps. Pretty much useless

Yes 247 has updated theirs.
Agree these rankings are useless at this point but the cream usually stands out so they are useful tools in regards to getting familiar with the kids we will be chasing for the next year+.
Also understand they are entertainment, which is why they should never be taken too seriously. However, I don't think most of the rankers are intentionally biased. They're ignorant in terms of being familiar with kids in their regions and not so much outside but I do believe most try to be fair and rank the kids the way they see them. The issue is the guys at the top Farrell(well known to push agendas) and Simmons. Simmons in particular is a disappointment. Used to have a solid rapport with him many moons ago on some forums before he moved up the corporate ladder. He's lost his way and tries too hard to be the outlier with certain kids to make himself look smart, which he is.

This has to be some sort of joke. 3 cornerbacks in the top 5? 5 people ahead of a qb who went for 5k yards 50td and only 3 int as a sophomore? Who the hell is making these rankings?

Kendrick Law about get a huge bump in the composite, Jacoby Mathews should see a nice bump too.
Sam Spiegs doing work bumping the Louisiana guys and Texas DBs.

I too would like to understand how 2 different recruit ranking organizations can be so far apart in their rankings. Take Louisiana’s #1 & #2 recruits, Howard & Campbell or Campbell & Howard.
July 15th, 247Sports:
Will Campbell
State: 1
Position: 5 OT
National: 43
247 Composite:
State: 2
Position: 3 OT
National: 39
Walker Howard
State: 2
Position: 4 Pro QB
National: 61
247 Composite:
State: 1
Position: 3 Pro QB
National: 35
August 18th, Rivals:
Will Campbell
National: 78
Position: 10 OT
Walker Howard:
National: 125
Position: 9 Pro QB
Where do these guys get there ranking info from with no camps, etc.?

I remember a few weeks back seeing Rivals had
JC Latham whos the #3 overall on 247 all the way down at #75. How is there THAT much of a difference in evaluation?

Rivals hates LSU.

Seriously, how can they be so far apart? How are the ??????, ???????? & ?????????? classifications determined? Is it camps, visits, offers, or what? If these are the determining factors then nothing should have change since April 1st (or prior to) because none of them have been able to camps or visits. Can anyone shed some light on this subject, please?

Rivals put Jacoby Mathews as #1 ATH. He’s a must get being so local and the tight bond with Ponchatoula.
