There's still almost 5 months before National Signing Day (NSD) for the '15 class. There are 4 major recruiting services: 247Sports, Rivals, ESPN, & Scout.

I know many people give one site more credit to that site than the others, but that's also why 247 has TWO team rankings. 247 has their own site's rankings/rating and then they do the Composite which uses data from the other sites, but it's not a true average with equal weight to each site.

Where is your team ranked right now in the recruiting rankings for the various sites?

Where do you predict your team will be ranked after NSD
for the various sites?


What are some of the big reasons or who are the key recruits that are going to impact the change from where your team is ranked now to NSD?

247's Composite Team Rankings
247's Site Team Rankings
Rivals Team Rankings
Scout's Team Rankings
ESPN's Team Ranking

SC Rankings right now 9/17/14
247 Composite - 5th
247 Site - 2nd
Rivals - 3rd
Scout - 5th
ESPN - 7th

SC Ranking Predictions for NSD
247 Composite - 5th-7th, probably 6th
247 Site - 4th
Rivals - 4rd
Scout - 7th
ESPN - 6th

The biggest factors/players that are going to change our rankings are:
-We already have a lot of commits, other schools are going to get good recruits and their rankings will go up.
-ESPN hasn't ranked our four 4* JUCO's
-Scout hasn't ranked Sawyer or Wideman (both 4*'s on other sites.)
-SC probably will sign 2-4 more recruits, all will most likely be 4*s (We're targeting Roquan Smith, Darius Slayton, DJ Jones and a few others.)

Somewhere between 3 and 6 I would guess. A lot still on the board for UGA.

ETA: USCe will likely be around 10, looking at their composite point total compared to previous years, assuming yall pick up 2 or so more commits

You should've read my reasoning. ESPN nor Scout have all our JUCO's rated, those guys are 4 *s on the other sites and considered the top guy at their position in JUCO. Once that happens, our rankings on those sties will go up on that site and then the Composite. I think we could end up being in the mid 270's in points for the composite when it's all said and done, that's going to put us in the 5th-7th range.

AU is 9th in composite. I expect us to end up between 6th-10th, depending on what Ivey does.

Somewhere in the Top 5... we had to recruit a kicker which will bring down the star average ;)

Number 35 right now.


I think top 15 by NSD. Top 20 at worst.

Top 25 by the end of the week.

Why should this thread end there?

Is that trolling?

That feels like trolling.

So does that mean y'all will continue to win National Championships every year ... oh, and win your bowl games like you've been doing?

FWIW, back to CIYE, I think SCAR will end-up 6-9, somewhere in there overall. I agree, once the JuCo rankings come out and ESPN applies their pts SCAR will climb some more with three or four of the top JuCo players at their positions.

The SEC is absolutely going to dominate the Top Ten this year. Bama, A&M, UGA, SCAR, Auburn, LSU, UT ... who am I forgetting with Top Ten Class potential when all is said and done? Florida maybe? I dunno.

I wanted to include Florida ... but Boom has me all indecisive right now. If he goes down, your class goes down.

Tell me about it, we have the #1 Overall K coming to SC, but of course he's a 3*. Joseph Charlton, 247 Bio

Should they grade K's the same as the other positions? Would fans even get excited about a 5* K committing?
There are websites that rank kickers/punters only.
https://kohlskicking.com/recruiting/national-rating-system/punters/2015

Tenn and SC have 5* Kickers coming this class.

All depends on how fast they move and who they bring in after Boom if he does to out.
