Yeah I meant to mention the portal. Lots of teams have several 4's though, so I think there are more players that are rated in general. Like Rice is ranked 100th, has 66 3 stars and one 4 star. In 2015 the 100th ranked team only had 26 3 stars.

But yeah, they don't update it with how good your portal players are and they don't downgrade or upgrade any rankings. Still a pretty good way to measure talent.

Meh. I think it's a pretty good way to quantitatively say that Georgia and Ohio State and Bama have way more talent than other teams. But I don't need a metric for that when I have basic common sense.

Florida at 12. Auburn at 18. I think once you get out of the top 5 who consistently recruit better than everyone else, it is damn near useless for predicting how teams will do.

As much as I love the nomination, this Forum (and thread) is beneath me.

No further questions.

Laughing at Sankey with all of these channels showing how they'll have B1G games this year and all the SEC has is ABC

Yeah not sure how anybody thinks Sankey has been a great commissioner to this conference, in what world should the Big Ten be making more money than the SEC on tv deals? Somehow Greg got swindled into a TV contract where the payout is a joke in comparison to B1G teams

An Announcement from Nicksjuzunk:

For the past several weeks, I have been contemplating what I have given to the Recruiting Forum Pregame/Game Threads for all of these years. As I reflected, and I am no dummy, I know that my performance has declined in recent years. I've lost a step... maybe two... especially since I have moved from Thailand and have reintegrated into society. What was once born of passion and love had become more obligation and drudgery as I went from sifting through piles of statistics and analysis to more general keys to victory that felt more or less the same, week after week. I had to ask myself, "Have I given MY ALL, and there is nothing left to give?" Perhaps it was time to hang up my fingers and let the next generation of dream architects take up the task of offering up completely biased, unbiased game analysis each week.

Having given this much hard thought and after discussing this with my wife, I have decided that I will continue in my role as thread starter for football games this season. This was not an easy decision for me to come to. It is tough to accept decline and age and the inevitable slide into mediocrity as father time beats down upon me day after day. I am not the man that I once was, but I hope to still have something to offer to the forum. How can I, after so many years away from Knoxville, have returned, only to abandon our community in their time of need? My fear is that my performance may degrade too much over time that I can't see the writing on the wall and that Freak will disable my account out of disgust. The love of the game can keep you in the game too long, and what was once beloved becomes tolerated, and even despised at worst. Although "my all" is not as much as it once was, I will once again give my all to the recruiting forum again this season. Trot me out... let's go.

So will you be naming a thread starter in waiting?? Or will we need to go hard to the portal next season?
