Rivals has the Hogs’ class at #12, ESPN has the Hogs #18 and 247 has the Hogs’
ranked #19 as of a few minutes ago. Subject to change as more signings come in.
Rivals has us #6 in the SEC. 247 says the #9 class in the SEC, ESPN says #8.
Future opponents: Texas is #5 in Rivals, Mobilehoma is #13…
Looked at how they assess our individual recruits. ESPN has Chamblee, Rowser, Harris and Sategna as our 4-stars, top to bottom. Rivals has 6 4-stars and Chamblee isn’t one (they have Rowser as our best). 247 also has 4 4-stars, with Sategna rated highest.
Rivals 4-stars, top to bottom: Rowser, Dubinion, McAdoo, Harris, Davillier, Sategna.
247 4-stars: Sategna, Chamblee, Harris, McAdoo. But 247 does not yet include Rowser, who would be our fifth 4-star and rated second behind Sategna.
I think the way you’re laying it out, the more appropriate 247 ranking is #13 because that is their staff’s evaluation. The #19 represents the composite ranking.
When you’re looking at the rankings next to the teams, the number in the box under it is the 247 staff ranking.
What this tells us is that ESPN’s ranking is dragging us down. Considering that ESPN puts the least investment in their recruiting analyst staff by a long shot, I’m choosing to throw that ranking.
It would be nice to see the hogs in the top 15 every year. What caught my attention today was Coach Pittman said we are getting better. He compared it to last year and the year before.
The way the hogs play on the field and compete has improved like night and day since Coach was hired.
