Listing the percentages when weighing all the recruiting services for the On3 industry rankings

35% On3

35% 24/7

20% Rivals

10% ESPN

Found it interesting, I know we all hate ESPN recruit rankings so it’s good to know they only contribute 10% to the On3 industry rankings

They should remove them altogether. ESPN is seriously worthless for recruiting. It's all centered around their television events.

ESPN should be removed. Rivals given 10%. 247 20% and on3 the rest

I keep looking on ON3 and they continue to say that we’re ranked seventh in 2024. I thought we had moved up to number three. Can you explain.

That’s the industry rankings (all the recruiting services combined)

On3’s OWN rankings by themselves have us #3

That’s silly and shows too much bias. On3 is best for LSU fans because their staff is great for Louisiana/LSU, but many other 247 teams are better and have more comprehensive work than their on3 counterpart.

Should be 40/40/20 or 33/33/33. I do agree ESPN is not worth including.

Composite rankings vs individual site ranking. Each site has its own rankings, and the On3 Composite gives a staggered average of all 4 of the individual services to make their Industry Composite rankings.
As the split shows, I don't think Rivals or ESPNs rankings should he included.

On3 sucks. Only reason why some lsu fans like it now is because they have us rated higher in their rankings. Their website and NIL value is garbage

I haven’t looked at ESPN in a while, but I remember watching a live commit and the ranking they gave him was on the screen I looked him up on 247 (pre on3) and it was wildly different from 247 and rivals.

You must have noticed the same thing I have over the years. Once a player accepted to play in the Under Armour game (ESPN one), magically their rating got raised by ESPN. I'm sure that was just coincidence! Talk about bias and really blackmail.

Disagree on the first part...IMO On3 has been most accurate vs the other services. But yeah, the navigation of their website and their NIL very questionable numbers are definitely a liability.

there is no way in hell Rivals should have more input. However I read 247 has been putting in On3 since 2022, but it's obvious the percentages are slightly different. For instance, Green is a composite 5 star on On3 (31st), but only 40th overall and a 4 star on 247's composite.

On3, for their scouting and evaluation in Louisiana, is definitely the best. 247 isn't far behind though.

I will say their navigation does suck though. I also wonder is the class calculator on 247 copyrighted. I wish we had it for On3 because I trust their evaluations more.

I have never been able to navigate to their own ranking no matter how much Ive looked. I've only been able to access it via a link on some message board. They really need to change that layout to make it easier to find. I don't have any kind of "toggle" that switches it.

Rivals is Bama based. They slight their rankings in favor of Alabama recruits. Should eliminate them too.
