Scout Average Star Rating per Player shows MSU did very well. Total Points is misleading.

When looking at the snapshot of commits today, I found that Georgia and Florida had a higher average star rating per player versus LSU. Note that GA and FLA signed only 17 players this morning where LSU had 24. The total commits is very misleading and does not represent how well a school did in recruiting. Also, I think the recruiting services should remove players from the list when they sign a JUCO scholarship or have to attend Prep School. It makes the recruiting class suspect.

Either way.... MSU did very well today.

Scout Average Star Rating per Player shows MSU did very well. Total Points is misleading.

services put out a "Final Team Ranking" in August after it's clear who makes it campus. That list give you a better idea of who did what.

are good to be updated later in year after all the players that head to juco or prep school are removed. That is why I look at the average score per player versus total points. Total points gives people an idea that more is better when we all know that is not the case.

That would also be the case for Rivals.

I'm sure ESPN has "Mississippi" listed twice, with a nice write-up on Nutt signing Fletcher Cox.
