re: Taylor Hamm & Billy Liucci make SWEET LOVE in 2019 + Football Recruiting Thread

Or just ignore all the channels

Christian Williams is going to visit. Bama is apparently telling him to look around so hopefully we can get in on this one

hed probably be a corner for us but who knows if he stays there. like young. i assume marcus banks took his bama spot

All I know is Brian Williams’ drop in ranking is going to look real stupid in a couple years.

You want to talk about bad rankings, ESPN is consistently the worst. They factor in “potential” more than the other services.

The layout of the site blows and they haven’t overhauled any of it in like 6 years. It’s extremely outdated and the rankings pages are terrible to navigate and constantly loop the filters back to a reset. It’s plain terrible.

Couple the above with how hard they push ads and slideshows and it’s obvious it’s very cheaply run. Maybe that’s because margins are thin or maybe it’s because they don’t have much real competition I don’t know. I do know if Hamm was still covering recruiting for us instead of Perroni I would never in a million years pay for that shite. The A&M recruiting coverage is excellent I agree, the UI/UX and their general penny pinching sucks arse

None of what I’m talking about has to do with their rankings. I don’t see anyone as really standing out in that department and 247 does composite so I guess they get a leg up.

They probably are the best on their own, but when you factor in the network of writers they have they really do a piss poor job I think. ESPN and Rivals just don’t invest anything in having a staff to do such things. That’s not the case for 247. If your actual website is going to be a high school computer science project at least make the rankings excellent and quality of content high. Notice they get absolutely zero traffic to parts of their site unrelated to football recruiting.

I think it's too much of a crap shoot projecting talent to get a whole lot better. It seems like NFL teams can barely get the draft right half the time, and that is probably an easier projection than a nation's worth of 16 & 17 year olds

I thought he was an early enrollee. I would think that would complicate matters.

Will be interesting to see if texas gets the benefit of the doubt vs USC. Bet they do.

Unless they can prove serious wrongdoing (Wright is dead so they can't use the infractions committee anymore) wouldn't it be considered tampering or illegal contact?
