He is now rated #67 on 247... Composite is 64 which mean he is rate better on other sites right? I am fairly confident in saying he was a Top 10 receiver on Rivals I believe #8 to be exact... He is now 119th on Scout, 87th on ESPN and 137th on rivals. So how could his composite be 64th if 247 has him rated the highest?
I noticed this as well. Now, if Bookie's ranking goes anywhere but up, THEN we can grab pitch-forks.
I get it, but rivals needs to stop with the dropping of rating when a Top rated recruit commits to us. It's like there is a certain rating a kid should get when committed to a certain school. It goes both ways. Usually if we get a 5.5 rated kid he wil get a bump to 5.6 or 5.7 3*... Then if we sign a Top 100 5.9 or greater kid they get dropped... See Tyjon Lindsey last year. When he was committed to Ohio St. he was a Top 5 receiver. Go look where he finished... Rivals thinks that kids that commit to Nebraska should be in a range 5.6 to 5.8. They won't be able to do it this year, because it would be blatantly obvious.
Like it or not, but people follow the ratings, and if you are trending up it gives your team recruiting mojo.
