Are they going to make sure they have XXXXXL unis? They may be too small. I'd guess size 17 to 23 shoes.

That is one large clod hopper.
 


So word is that Williams is here for an OV and there's a defensive recruit here for an OV as well though that name has not been released.
 


I wouldn't mind someone like Taiyon Palmer or Dallas Craddieth.

I noticed Alex Reigelsperger also received a nice bump on the composite. Jumped Teague for the 3 spot and is just behind Viramontes with a score of .8810.

Actually the opposite.

Up until last week, Reigelsperger had a score of 0.8723

Then they removed Scout's rating from calculation and he had a score of 0.8853

Now, 247 dropped him from an 85 to 84 in their rating and thus his composite went to 0.8810
 

Others who have moved recently...

Nolan Edmonds went from a mid 3 star (5.6) to high 3 star (5.7) on Rivals, thus bumping his 247 Composite from 0.8639 to 0.8713

Terell Smith went from a mid 3 star (5.6) to low 3 star (5.5) on Rivals, thus dropping his 247 Composite from 0.8710 to 0.8636

Brevyn Spann-Ford went from an 83 to 87 on 247, thus bumping his 247 Composite from 0.8398 to 0.8606

Benjamin Sapp III went from 88 to 87 on 247, thus dropping his 247 Composite from 0.8639 to 0.8606

Austin Beier went from 85 to 87 on 247, thus bumping his 247 Composite from 0.8527 to 0.8594

Erik Gibson went from 84 to 85 on 247, thus bumping his 247 Composite from .8514 to .8548

Thomas Rush went from 87 to 86 on 247, thus dropping his 247 Composite from 0.8490 to 0.8456

Mariano Sori-Marin went from 82 to 85 on 247, thus bumping his 247 Composite from 0.8343 to .8444

Josh Aune went from 84 to 85 on 247, thus bumping his 247 Composite from 0.8295 to 0.8328
 

I'm kind of surprised how Baylor is doing with recruiting given the recent scandals that have taken over that program

This explains the jump form 34 to 31 in the rankings.

Isn't Baylor in wacky Waco Texas? I am sure that there are players that don't want to move very far from home.

So, he went from .8723 to .8810 - how is that not a bump?

He went from a 0.8723 to a 0.8853 to a 0.8810. Yes, he was bumped up from his score from a week ago. But his score fell from earlier this week.

If you have $20, and I give you $10, then you later give me $5, do you end up with more or less money than you started with?

Interested to see how that plays out. I know he had a ton of interest in Nebraska when Riley was still there. Iowa seems to be the favorite with Wisconsin jumping in the picture late.

What an excellent point and valuable contribution. of course, you're picking the most correct starting point for determining an increase or a decrease, and the other guy is picking a wrong one.

The always hard-hitting DPO, ladies and gentleman. Let's all thank for him for his public service.

Wouldn't the correct starting point be the very first time he was rated? What else would be the starting point? If you can provide evidence that his composite rating has gone down since he was first rated, please do so, by all means. Thanks in advance for your worthless ad hominem post.
 

How will the early NSD affect the recruiting game?

Will it push lower level commits to early commitments and the higher end recruits to later NSD?
Any thoughts?

I think it is advantageous for a MN to wrap up recruitings and signings early. It will give them more time to focus earlier on the new recruiting year.

Every 3 star on Scout with a composite above .8333 received “a bump” when Scout was eliminated. His 247 rating is down.

The “bump” is artificial the decrease is real.

In the "making lemonade out of lemons" category, the early NSD gives a bit of an edge to teams that didn't qualify for a bowl. Our losing out on a bowl game means the coaching staff is 100% focused on recruiting versus planning and practicing for a bowl game. The very few four stars and five stars know they'll land on a solid team somewhere, three stars do not. I think a three star jumps on an early offer from a team whereas the four and fives can wait until after the "whos going to be coaching where" dust settles down. The number of assistant coaches that move is more than the number of head coaches -- such as an OC becoming a HC somewhere, so there's a lot of potential moves that won't be settled until after all the bowl games are completed, and I'd think before they sign those four and five stars will want to know who their coaches will be.
 

I glad PJ Fleck resisted the temptation to burn a few more red shirts to earn possibly an extra victory. Going to a bowl would be nice for the seniors, but what is more critical is buttoning up the 2018 recruiting class and making a huge jump start into the 2019 recruiting.

Did they burn Balise Andries' red shirt?

Agree with you on the advantageous piece of it.
I suppose it depends on how many kids out there want to play "HATS" at their All-American games as well.
I know not all of the kids do that but it may have an effect on the "HAT GAMERS" in some way.
