... and each of those recruiting services has a different #1 ranked school. IMO, just mine alone, the services are a bit pageantry-oriented and possibly biased at times.
The coaches and their staffs know their needs better than an outside entity which would cause them to value a Rivals 3*as a 5* to their program. I'm sure coaches use some of the recruiting services info to keep up with the happenings in recruiting, but they use camps and attend games to do their recon. The recruiting services are cute and fun for the prospects and fans, but I think its another way to make $$$ more than anything. It sells college football.
Utah, Boise, and TCU have many Rivals/ESPN/Scout 3* recruits. Guess what big time programs they've beaten in recent years that are consistently loaded with 4* & 5* players?
