there is absolutely nothing they can do to overtake A&M in the rankings


Why does it matter so much if they pass you? Y'all still will have a great class.

You're right, it's not an UNPRECEDENTED PLOY. It's something that quite frequently happens. 

Here's the evidence. 

The top 12 increases per recruit this recruiting cycle: 

1. 1047 - David Gbenda - t.u. 
2. 1022 - Isaiah Hookfin - t.u. 
3. 775 - Tyler Owens - t.u. 
4. 702 - Marcus Alexander - OU 
5. 646 - Greg Williams - Clemson 
6. 561 - Myzon Warren - t.u. 
7. 542 - John Metchie - Alabama 
8. 475 - Rian Davis - Georgia (t.u. interest) 
9. 471 - Mykye Tongue - Georgia (t.u. interest) 
10. 460 - Zion Logue - Georgia 
11. 437 - Bryton Constantin - Clemson 
12. 424 - John Battle - Alabama 

Is it a coincidence now that it's almost certain that Javonne Shepherd will not sign with them, his rating all of a sudden dropped 150 points?


Let's say we identified the source of these egregious actions..

Are you seeking an apology, criminal action, retroactive recruiting championship banner, a twinky or perhaps an "ok, cool. Hook'em" & "take the loss pussy"?

I'm assuming you have an end game in mind to justify all of the concern.. or is this simply about obsession?

What I want to see (which will never happen) is Bobby Burton's influence in recruiting and player ratings removed from 247.

Texas won't pass them.

But still doesn't make these threads less fun.

If you run the actual numbers:

A&M's class score currently: 284.36
Add Javonne Shepherd: 285.16
Add Shepherd and lose Josh Ellison (grades): 284.36
Add Shepherd, lose Ellison and add Christian Williams: 287.31

t.u.'s class score currently: 278.33
Remove Javonne Shepherd: 276.86
Remove Shepherd and add Bru McCoy: 285.72

I'm not familiar with how the math shakes out in recruit rankings but I've seen several people saying adding McCoy will jump us to 3 and Shepard flipping has to impact on that.

With that said, having the 3rd vs 5th ranked class don't make a shite to most people who follow this stuff because you sign who you sign; the only positive with this is the entertainment value of seeing all the ags getting worked up in a tizzy over it.

Eh, Texas does the same type of shite. I just find it funny when certain fans from both sides pretend like they don't care about each other anymore.

Why does this matter so much to you? I mean, you do realize you're getting bent about decimal points in some arbitrary, totally fabricated ranking system, right?

Do you really believe that Kenyon Green is a worse player than Darnell Wright because 247 has Wright .0018 points higher?

I certainly want Texas to 1) Be in the same neighborhood as Oklahoma in football recruiting. With A&M going to the SEC, I have developed a wish for Texas to not only be in the same neighborhood as OK, but in the same neighborhood as any other Texas school, including A&M.

Neighborhoods: 1-10, 11-30, the rest.

Mission accomplished this year, I think.

I agree people who get so bent out if shape over final rankings are whatever. If texas ends up with one to five more total points, what's the difference?

But it's hilarious to see the UT online fanbase rejoicing over possibly ending higher than A&M when it only took a completely ridiculous ratings bump across the board for their commits and outright tampering with a signed player to do do

No, we don't! aggies just need to be happy that they have a great class coming in and stop worrying about Texas. Just shows they hate Texas more than they love themselves.
OK

you wanna go look at your 247 board and the recruiting thread on surley and see how they are literally all rejoicing over possibly finishing with a higher class than A&M?

You should check your Texags brothers and find how much the rankings are so important to you. top ten class is a top ten class. Stop crying! It is just upsetting to the 12thman that jimbo the prophet will not have a top 2 class!

Sadistic narcissism should not be confused with obsessive paranoia.
