Is this a joke? Holy shit rivals. (not a comment on UW's class, which was good).
-
I concur with your assessment that this is a joke. Quantity seems to be the only factor here.

Thanks Taft!

It has to be quantity.
I don't know the transfer ratings at all. I'd assume Rogers had a decent one, as did Hunter, Coleman, Prysock and maybe Wayne. I can't remember many out of the ~34 transfers that stuck out as the kind of recruits that put you up there in the rankings.
-
Azzopardi was considered a nice get in the portal and Valdez was rated as a 4* DL for whatever that’s worth. But yeah, it’s the sheer quantity of players that pushed UW into the top 10.
-
Thanks for pointing it out. I'd rate those two guys near the top of the list of key players this year. Interior DL was already a weakness last season and the best guy is gone. OT has two first rounders to replace.
-
This is pretty terrible. 247's ratings are much more accurate and I hate 247. 247's player rankings overly value potential so you'll see a lot of guys who were highly rated recruits with a lot to prove way too high. They have Dillon Gabriel as the #77 transfer yet they seem to be one of the groups saying he's a Heisman contender.

I hate that 24/7 rates players on NFL potential. It’s so odd. If a kid is a great college player and transfers to another school rate him as such. Justin Flowe was rated a 4* transfer to Arizona based solely on his inflated HS rating. He spent three years at Oregon getting beat out by lower rated players. If they thought his T-Rex arms and neck roll were NFL ready they were smoking something. He’s the definition of a mid/low 3* transfer. Lots of head scratching ratings like that.
-
It's retarded. Why add in all of the unpredictability and variables if the aim is to have the most accurate projection system possible? Clearly that isn't the aim, but it should be.
HS recruits should be rated in college potential. College recruits should be rated on college results. Portal ratings should be pretty fucking accurate given that most of the players have already performed at or near the level they're going into.
-
the NFL potential rating thing seems like it's a built in crutch to rationalize things. Flowe was one of the funnier mega highly rated recruits you will ever see as it was clear he isn't built for modern pass defenses. They dropped him a lot but Smalls was another one who made no sense as a 5* guy, but we were trying to talk ourselves into believing it.
-
I tried to convince myself that Huard was going to be Kellen Moore. He was on the shorter side, slight of build and his arm strength was just above average. I was hoping he was a 5* between the ears but I think the hiring of JonDong was the death knell for the kid. He’s at Utah now, running his fourth offense in four years. Just brutal.
-
he’s one drew bledsoe injury away from being the next Brady!

“Junior Sam Huard comes off the bench replacing injured seventh year senior, Cam Rising, to lead Utah to the 2024 Big 12 title!”, is a statement I’d not thought possible in 2020.
