247 Team Recruit Rankings (updated today)

Advertisement
Weird seeing USCw ranked 55th. Isn't that were 5 stars got to be 2 stars?

They usually load up early too, a la Texas, and then hang on to the flurry of movement around signing day

This is the truth.

USC has been getting KILLED late in the process these past few years.

Last year they were able to grab McQuay late, but they lost 5-6 commits that were rated 4 stars or higher.

The year before they lost a few later including #1 overall player Arik Armstead.

The year before was Black Mamba going North, and the whole Grimble situation.
 
247 - #4
Rivals - #6
ESPN - #10
Scout - #13

247 is the only one that matters honestly.

They do the team rankings based on the recruits "composite ranking" which takes into account where they are ranked on other sites as well.

Staff has done a **** of a job thus far. Think we'll be Top 10 even if we close like dog poo. If we close worth a **** we'll have a top 5 class.
 
247 doesn't have 2 of our players ranked yet.

Scout doesn't have 4 of our players ranked yet.

Rivals has 3 players as 2 stars (not sure if they were evaluated or not)

ESPN doesn't have 5 of our players ranked yet.

These team rankings don't mean anything when a quarter of our class hasn't even been evaluated by these services.

These ranking don't mean much right now mainly because most other school only have 10-15 commits at this time. When they reach 18 commits we will get a better evaluation of where our class actually stands against the competition. For some reason these rankings are influenced more by the number of players committed than the quality of players (not saying our players are bad). Just go check out USC's class last year, nearly everyone was 4 or 5 stars but they were ranked outside of the top ten. We also have several players not evaluated on espn right now, so our ranking isn't as high as it should be because of that.
 
For some time I was worried about the defensive, but in Golden I trust. He has seen the need on D and has responded with some great quality players.

They usually put the cap at 20 to even things out. In USC's case they just didn't have enough commits with taking only 12 last year.
