I don’t know what their reasoning for it was, but it’s wrong.

I am sure someone will be here soon to say "he'd be a 5* if he had committed to Bama"

He was never a 5* for 247 I believe. I guess that they lowered his ranking on their side?

What’s funny is they changed him 3 different times in the last 15 mins. It’s honestly ironic at this point.


Here’s some interesting stats of player rankings before they committed to lsu and after they committed to lsu:
Jaxon Howard (89th) commits (101th)
Mac Markway (95th) commits (148th)
Jalen Brown (28th) commits (37th)
Ryan Yaites (110th) commits (284th)

Those are just a few. There is plenty more.

247 has it out for LSU and the data proves it.

He was a 5 star on the 247 composite which is what 247 bases on team rankings I believe (maybe wrong).

Anyways that is what most people look at and not the top247.

We had to have some players jump because our composite average on 247 was 91.44 this AM and it's 91.51 now.

The 247 bias is FOR bama and not necessarily against LSU. But when bama commits or potential commits are raised in the ranking due to that bias it naturally lowers other recruits not committed to bama and that includes LSU commits.

It was Dashawn Womack. He balled out at his last camp.

247 on their site never had him listed as a 5* is what I meant. They had him composite rated based off other services.

Seems that the 247 rating is what dropped him down from a composite 5

It’s why everyone left 247, the bias was so obvious

The amount of effort grown men out into fake internet stars or unicorns or whatever amazes me


Jalen Brown is a fricking monster and more importantly he's now a tiger.

They also have Trey Holly as the 36th best RB in the country...

And conversely check out the upward moves, just in the top 100, for that 'other school'... It is profound, SMH.

Fear, fear.
