Alabama's been killing it this past week and it's disheartening for everyone else who wants top tier national talent  Penn State is also doing really well right now.

Seems kinda risky if they don't do well this season - if a guy is just holding a spot and sees a weak product on the field they might be more likely to flip late. Nothing sucks more than scrambling to fill a need due to a late flip. In other news, ND gets a commit from OL Trevor Ruhland.

Butch Jones had almost the whole class full before last seasons started, went 5-7, and only dropped 1 recruit out of over 31 (this was a class with 2 5* and 16 4*) and that was mutual. Of course during your first 2 seasons you can get away with that a lot easier than later on. nate fisher fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Apr 24, 2014 |

Kentucky went 2-10 and only lost one commitment who was a low 3* that blew up during his senior season and flipped to FSU. Kentucky's 10 4* commits (Rivals) matched the number of 4* commits UK was able to get on campus (most of whom never contributed) from 2002-2012.

A few small-to-medium cracks suddenly appearing in the A&M ultra-class. Within the last few days, 247's #1 Dual Threat QB Kyler Murray (long thought to be a lock) took what was apparently a very positive visit to Oregon, #3 RB Rodney Anderson officially decommitted, and #2 DT Daylon Mack abruptly removed all the references to A&M from his twitter page.

It's asking a lot for non-SEC East to remember that Kentucky has a football team, let alone the coach's name.

I suppose Franklin does have some pretty easy built-in excuses if things go to poo poo this year.

I haven't been paying as much attention to recruiting lately, but I just realized Alabama got a commitment from Shawn Burgess-Becker, only as a safety. I've seen that kid a lot in 7v7, and he has the most impressive ability to track the ball in the air and anticipate where it's going that I've ever seen. Not to be hyperbolic, but the only other players I've seen with that level of instinct to track the ball were Sean Taylor and Ed Reed. Playing receiver, his QB could just lob the ball wherever, and somehow, Burgess would track it, get to it and score. He also has incredible hands. I'm really, really excited about his commitment if it sticks, because he could be a gamechanger at safety. The only real threat to that commitment would be if the family ties to Miami take hold, but Al Golden sort of made a mistake by not offering earlier than he did. Either way, he's been a high priority for Nick Saban for nearly three years for good reason.

High three is the one that four years from now you're like "yeah he was a three star but look what coach x did  " and low is no one remembers because he never saw the field anyhow.

There actually is something of a difference, and that I know this kills me. Often times recruiting sites punish kids on evaluations if kids don't go to their football camps. In that case, the kid is then 'not given the benefit of the doubt' if he just looks like a good football player and not quite the ideal physical specimen. Another time a 'high 3/low 4' rating comes up is the actual exact opposite of this - could be a pretty great physical specimen and camps pretty well, but his film is very lacking. This rating can also come up is a 4 star has really bad grade issues and is a big risk

LARGE THE HEAD posted:Someone please tell me the difference between a high 3* and a low/middling 3* Depends on what service you use. Rivals has multiple levels within the 3*. 5.5, 5.6, 5.7. ESPN, when they were trying, and 247 do it out of 100. Then you get into interpretation of what that means...

You would see players who would have all the eastern schools offer, maybe VT or Ohio State, but no top SEC, Texas, USC, Michigan, etc... Those types are right on the border of ***/**** for me, you live and die with those guys.

High 3's are also your most likely guys to gain a star down the road. Lewis will probably have a decent shot at being a 4* on 247 by the time NSD hits.

Jordan Thompson, 3-star DE from La Salle HS in Cincinnati commits to Northwestern. Thompson had offers from Notre Dame, MSU, Iowa, WVU and others. Another nice get for NU which seems to be putting together a solid class despite "distractions" from the unionization debate. That's 9 commits for Fitzgerald but 4 are DE's and 7 of them play defense. I'd like to see some a few OL commits to balance out this class.

Urban is slobbering all over Torrance Gibson right now, and I sort of figured it's because Wimbush told him "thanks but no". Losing out on Jenkins sucks too. But, we did pretty well on that in the last class so I'm not going to freak out. 6'9" though...Dude's almost too tall for football.

Urban might actually be the laziest recruiter not named Frank Beamer I've ever seen. The Eric Whitehead offer is such a joke, it makes me wonder if they watch tape or just track who VT offers.

According to what Gibson said yesterday, OSU is not even in his top 3 as of now (UT leads followed by Auburn and LSU). Going to be a long wait until December. Either way it looks like Tennessee should get a commit this month from 4* QB Zach Gentry. If we don't get Gibson look for current commit Jauan Jennings (top 100 player) to get his shot as a dual-threat QB.

What's up with OSU's recruiting this year? Last year they knocked it out of the park and led Urban to make his smug little "Maybe other teams in the conference should recruit better." comment. Now PSU and Nebraska are the only ones in the Top 10 recruiting and OSU is like, 60th. How does a team that's gone 23-1 the past two years do so bad up to this point?

Ehhhh, when a kid has a top 15, I'm not concerned. He's not anywhere close to making a decision. Much less, he's visited all the schools ahead of OSU so far, which certainly has to be a factor. I just hope Urban isn't a moron again and offers a few other kids as backups instead of pining over one dude like he did with DeShaun Watson last year. limeincoke posted:What's up with OSU's recruiting this year?

It's a mixture of fatigue on the part of the staff, the prospects overall this year, and the fact that recruiting is happening earlier and earlier at this point. Urban's basically been burning his top recruiting coaches since a week or two before NSD, and the lack of time off is getting to them. I imagine it'll be better once camp season and the real season hit, and kids are coming to them instead of the other way around. It's a lot harder to talk up Ohio State when you're rarely recruiting in Ohio. PSU is getting a nice bump from a shiny new coach. Don't think too much about that. And they would've been recruiting top 20 classes with BOB if it weren't for the bowl ban to worry about. People forget that OSU literally was just cherry picking guys that ordinarily would've been all PSU if it weren't for their sanctions the past few years. Areas like New England are now being contested between the two, and Penn State is finally getting their legs back in the area. And Nebraska will absolutely not hold that kind of momentum.

I agree, and I always thought that he would end up at Auburn or OSU. Also Tennessee might have the strongest Twitter presence in college football, so I do question how truly on top is Tennessee for him. Still I am surprised Tennessee has a legit chance of landing him. That said when is the last time a 5 star QB waited until January to commit? I think that helps OSU and Auburn.
