Just sayin

Top 20? Got a link.

I ran into this earlier last year when Ledbetter flipped from Bama to UGA.

Uga's score went up 20 points, but Bama's only dropped 3 points, or something like that.

The only way I could eventually figure that is because Ledbetter was only the 15th best player on the Bama list, his weighted value was alot less. On Georgia's list, he was one of the top 5 players, weighing his score much more heavily.

Kind of weird and inconsistent, I like my method better.

They all put weight on different shite so who knows wtf any of it means

Yeah, I don't understand the methodology behind all of it. You could get rid of Alabama's highest rated player, Calvin Ridley, and only lose 5.7 points from the class calculator, and he is worth 29.3 points.

Thats just how far ahead Bama's recruitment really is above everyone else. If you took top recruits from someone like Clemson it would hurt a lot more.

My theory

Individual player rankings are a measure skill and likelihood they will develop into an NFL caliber player.

Team rankings are a measure of the how much they believe those players as whole will make an impact on college football over the span of their career.

Bama has insane amounts of talent every year ,but they will never use all it. How many people in this class will ever start at Alabama? Bama's 3* recruits are far more likely to have an effect on say a team like Kansas St than they would ever have at Bama.

That why they weigh the best recruits on a team so high and devalue the lower ones.

I mean really whats the point of having every recruit at 100% value with a limited amount of starting spots.

Montrell Custis ,CB .8620 3* rating (Bama lowest rated recruit)

Is this guy statistically as likely to have an impact at Alabama as these guys. He seems destined to be a bench-warmer with talent like this.

2015
Minkah Fitzpatrick, CB .9878 5*
Kendall Sheffield, CB .9906 5*
Rico McGraw, CB .9333 4*

2014
Tony Brown, CB .9951 5*
Marlon Humphrey, CB .9940 5*


Montrell Custis might be the premier CB at UCF or a solid starter at Texas A&M. At Bama, he might not ever get playing time as a backup.

Do you guys think Montrell Custis should receive his full worth at Alabama?

It makes me wonder why ol Montrell Custis committed to Bama in the first place. Seems he would be better suited for a mid major program where he can get recognition.

I agree 100% with this statement. However, Nick Saban is the greatest recruiter in college football history. He managed to get kids to ignore the competition for playing time and buy into his system. I hope they make a documentary one day on Nick Saban system.

You just never know about these kids like Custis, or for that matter, the 5-star guys. Bama has a few in the NFL right now that were walk-ons (R. Johnson) and 2-star guys (Arenas). Kareem Jackson (Texans) was only offered by Bowling Green, Ohio, Vandy, and the like.

The star system is so subjective.
