uk recruiting #1 on rivals
- Thread starter drummerdawg
- Start date
They have a lot of commits for June so their overall ratting is high but their average star ranking of 3.22 would place them 11th in the SEC:
Team Avg. Star
UGA 3.67
Bama 3.54
A&M 3.5
LSU 3.5
Arkansas 3.5
Auburn 3.44
UF 3.4
USC 3.4
UT 3.38

UK 3.22
Mississippi 3.21

Agree-- they may a lot of 3* that bring down their average, but they have more 4* (5) than we do 4*(1) + 3*(3). If we can't count on beating Kentucky, we don't go bowling. Period.
I know it's only June -- so why are we already this far behind??

Practicing palming off crisp, new Benjamins** Following/posting to recruits on Twitter, wearing MSU shirts/jerseys to HS games, giving the coach something to read on the boards. I am NOT writing on notebook paper with crayons and mailing it to recruits.
Did you really just use Rivals for our "average star rating" in attempt to actually make a point? That's gold considering that they haven't even evaluated half our class yet and probably won't get around to it until the end of the regular season IF THEN. They've LONG been a joke inside the state of MS. No evaluators present. Same people that had Shump and Justin Cox as 3*s last year. In case you forgot, Chris Jones was a 2-3* THRU January last year with them. They didn't bump him up(and wouldn't have) until after the Under Armour game.
People that actually keep up with recruiting use the 24/7 composite for matters such as this. Or just the straight 24/7 rankings...
I wasn't using Rivals to make ANY point about Mississippi players or our class. The original poster stated that Rivals had KENTUCKY rated No. 1. I just pointed out that was more a product of number of commits KENTUCKY has as opposed to quality of commits. I don't care if they don't have any "evaluators" in MS. I don't care if they haven't evaluated half our class. Quite frankly, I don't care about June recruiting rankings. If the original poster had used 24/7 or scout or whoever, then I would have made the same point using that service's numbers about KENTUCKY'S class.
1. Alabama 91.85
2. Georgia 91.69
3. Texas A&M 91.60
4. LSU 91.43
5. Auburn 90.59
6. Florida 90.05
7. Tennessee 88.48
8. South Carolina 87.69
9. Kentucky 87.27
10. Ole Miss 86.74
11. Vanderbilt 86.37
12. Mississippi State 84.97
13. Arkansas 84.31
14. Missouri 83,72
24/7 composite doesn't look much different.

That's also lacking a ton of evaluations...
I'm just saying that the guys we take EARLY -- like in June -- are going to be better than low 3* talents in reality...
What is the sh*t you guys are reportedly putting on your bear boards? Something about an MSU player or recruits grades getting changed. Someone said both boards are saying it. I'm not going to pay to peak, so what's the rumor this time?
Doesn't matter we will finish last or 2nd to last in the West. Depends on whether or not ***** tits at Arky will start recruiting the SEC way.
I'm with you. Damn this stuff about just being June and all that. When Kentucky and Vandy are both getting the ball rolling and reeling in significantly better classes that MSU, someone somewhere isn't doing something right, or even close to good.

To paraphrase an article from yesterday...

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain !......... We`ll wake up only when it`s too late.
How can anyone sit back and think that is okay? Seriously, going into year 5, how is it acceptable to be recruiting this poorly?
I'm not a member of any pay boards as I have slightly better info usually. The only thing I can imagine is there has been discussion about our chances of signing Chris Jones the second time around should he not qualify.
Since the last recruiting cycle ended, I've been amazed at all the stories on UK recruiting from Rivals. They've been their personal propaganda machine. Maybe UK gets extra points in the rankings when the Rival's camp MVP commits to UK right after he wins the award?
For State recruiting, let's see... 1) had a cosmic meltdown to end last season, 2) was thrown under the bus by NCAA for recruiting violations, 3) traditionally sub-par recruiters, 4) red-shirted practically all those sub-par recruiting efforts. Yep, that about explains it.
I would hope that we would save the majority of our slots until the dust settles on the 2013 season, for the recruits and for State. But Lord help us if we don't get a decent HS O-lineman.
