As expected. Let’s see if the staff plays the game with Evans or others pull the trigger

Kirby is such an overrated coach.
But he certainly learned how to recruit (pay) from the best of them...

Good luck to him. Hopefully we play him in Atlanta a few times.

Expected. LSU shot its shot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Milton moves UGA up 13 points? Roy only moved LSU up 3 points? Both in the top 40. How such a big discrepancy?

Because we have fewer commits. Commits have more value (according to 247) when a team has 15 commits vs. 20+.
For example, if we had signed Roy today it would have bumped us up 11 points and it didn’t have as large of an impact on y’all.

I expected and hoped for this because I don't think Evans is gonna be a Bama commit.

I want Evans bad

Doesn't make much sense at all. So by that algorithm it's best to get commits from your best players early on because they will be more valuable? What a load of bs. Also before UGA moved up I noticed they had changed Ohio State's point total by .10 once again today. Not one single thing happened for them to move up at all.

No brotha it's not that at all. Think of it like an average. If you have 3 numbers 4, 8, and 7, then get a 12, it moves the avg pretty significantly. But the larger set of numbers you have, the smaller impact a high number will have on the avg. 247's not exactly an avg but similar. Hope this helps explain.
Basically in your scenario, with all our higher rated guys committing earlier, the score would drop when your lower guys commit the same magnitude regardless.
As for the Ohio St movement, maybe they updated some player rankings or had a player(s) score input incorrectly.
Hope this helps!

Its all very fluid at this time. Its only relevant once the February signing date has come and gone and all the recruits are in the fold. Even then, its more about filling needs than just sheer ratings.

I really liked Milton, but I've been on the Evans train since last year. Is there any shot of us getting him

Umm... no
All players become less valuable as more players commit to a school. Lindberg was worth 17.7 points when he committed to us on Sunday. After Milton committed now he’s worth 16.1 points.

Play with the class calculator. It will show you how the values change depending on the size of your class, and where individual guys are rated.

Like, Roy currently gives us 26.18 points. But if you remove him, it doesn't drop us 26.18 points because the value of everyone below him goes up since the class size got smaller. Even though Roy accounts for 26.18 points of the team total, removing him only drops us like 7-8 points. To me, this is probably the best thing about the 247 rankings. They don't let quantity outweigh quality.
