Is he playing in the Under Armor AA Game?

ESPN likes to inflate the rankings of kids that are playing in the Under Armor Game. It makes it appear that more 'elite' kids play in their game.

Just look at your teams commits. I bet the ones playing in the Under Armor Game are rated higher on ESPN than any other recruiting service.

I'm not talking about just your quarterback. I'm talking about all recruits. Those that are playing in the UA game are rated higher by ESPN than they are by other recruiting services.


Edit:

For example, Rashard Lawrence is playing in the Under Armor Game. On 247, he is the #22 overall player and on Rivals he is the #96 overall player. On ESPN, he is the #7 overall player.

Each of the top 7 players in the ESPN300 are playing in the UA Game.

Shea Patterson is playing in the Army Game. He is the #5 overall player on 247 and the #3 overall player on Rivals. On ESPN, he's all the way down at #18 overall.

Stuff like that is what makes ESPN a piece of shite when it comes to rankings. They don't research players, they rank them based off where they are playing their all star game.

So 247 has McIlwain listed as the #3 Dual-threat QB in the nation .... is that the "than other recruiting services" you referenced? LINK

I'm confused.

Will someone tell these Carolina people they have a decent qb coming in so they can get some sleep?

I guess they skimmed over the part where I said I wasn't specifically talking about McIlwain.

They're insecure because they know Muschamp is where quarterbacks go to die

For some reason a thread talking about jinxes seems like Bobby Sabelhous should be mentioned.

Brandon doesn't really fit in this discussion as he's not an elite QB



just ignore them.... their desperate desire to be in any kind of "elite" discussion is beyond annoying.
