Looks like the rankings moved around a bit after my post. Guess they did some last minute tweaks. Lemme update the original post real fast

Edit: They definitely did some last minute reshuffling. Nix moved back ahead of Tyson but still pretty far back. Most of the last minute stuff had to do with guys ranked 160+ & beyond

Never saw Tyson play, so I didn't comment on him. But I've seen Nix and Taulia play and it's not really close for me.


I go to all of Trussville's games, and that folks are seriously suggesting he should be ranked anywhere near Nix is laughable.

i dont know if this is meant to be a joke, but you are actually right

i remember 24/7 mods confirming that they alter rankings based on NFL projections with a kid signing with a certain team

for example: John doe is a 3 star. John doe commits to Auburn, and because he fits well with their system, he may be bumped to a 4 star eventually. However, he decommits from Auburn and commits to Bama. 24/7 gives kid high 4 star ranking because of his projection and it being bama

no shite

#Rice LT Calvin Anderson is the hottest commodity on the grad transfer market. He told me he’s got a Top 5: “Texas & Michigan are first tier. Behind them is Auburn, and then OU and then TCU.” Here’s my story on him:

I don't think it's coincidence he's visited those top 2 schools. AU is in the mid tier with a visit pending. The other 2 schools have yet to convince him to visit. Not a surprising list imo

He said 1-4 is pretty fluid, but I agree. UT family connections plus Herb being the first coach after him seems to spell UT.

No I am dead serious. How many players rankings go up after they either sign with or get an offer from Bama or UGA? I would love to see the numbers.

Whatever happened to that grad transfer from Stanford who was previously a top 100 recruit? Why aren't we going after him????

It seems like LA has a kid named Devin Bush in every year’s class.
