Now that Rivals is acquired by On3, who has become the gold standard of the recruiting rankings world, is Rivals good again?

Seeing UF and UGA on there

Depends, do they rank our recruits the highest?

@dascoop any changes here?

4-Star don’t want!!

If there wasnt a TN conspiracy narrative, there sure is now. NO one can convince me he isnt the best player in this cycle, sans FB.

There is data to support that as he played in PB. Morons. Specifically this was done so TN wouldnt, cannot have a top 10 class.

Wiltfong said TN has the momentum and shaping up to be a Vols/Aggies battle

Dropping from a 5 star to a 4 star usually cements a prospect to Tennessee. Am I right?

No

He’s still number 15. At the end of the cycle, aren’t the top 32 declared 5 stars?

Rivals version of a Fong Bomb. Vol lock

I don't know if it was mentioned on here but the long-time insider Bob Vols on 247 said he thinks it's fairly likely we land this guy and Hiter. Thought it was worth noting.

Rivals can go kick rocks. Keys is a 5 star talent all day long. The coaches know, screw the star pinners. GBO

He's 15th overall. If he stays there he'll still be a 5*.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Rivals has been a joke for forever. Do they still have a separate rating system to On3? Why? Seems like they would conglomerate them.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Once you guys finally realize Recruiting Services are political, the better off you will be.

Correct.

Tennessee CANNOT be ranked above certain teams. How can you people not see that?

Because in sports other than football we get ranked plenty high? Maybe it really isn't a conspiracy? Maybe it just takes a few years to climb out of the hole we were in?

it was sarcasm. our class is fine.

I'm ignoring everyone's rankings but 247's from now on. i used to have a trick where I could look at the rankings using 247's rankings and not the composite. They aren't perfect either. I mean, it's an imperfect science, but they are far more accurate more often than anyone else.

Edit: It's here. Just take "composite" out of the rankings leaving "teamrankings"
