@DonDraper That would be out best in the recruiting site era & with what's left on our board it's a highly unlikely goal. We would have to hit on every top target on our board & get some ratings bumps on current commits just to have a chance at it..

Yeah last year was right at .91 and it was great. Just hoping lol

Rankings are subjective as you can tell by the differences in the three major services. That is why they use composite to balance things out to an extent. This year with the lack of summer camps where we see top players compete against other top players and some players opting out. Many players change a lot between junior year and senior year the Analysts won't have as much information to digest with this years seniors because of Covid-19. I think that will make their ratings some what suspect. How do you move a player up or down when you don't get to see him as a senior.  Junior film doesn't show what type player he has become if he was playing whether he got fitter and better or laid around and got worse.   

Ratings count when you look at overall team ratings they don't always count when looking at an individual player.
