So 3* or 4*? Can't be both

Sure it can. Different recruiting services can have different ratings. The composite is what matters.

@WDE_OxPx_2010 Can be both depending on which site you use. He's a 4* on the 247 composite & a 3* on the On3 Consensus. Both are acceptable.

@toddc Not necessarily. The On3 Consensus is just as valid. Therefore both are acceptable & we will be taking the higher of the 2 rankings moving forward.

Then he should be a 4* on the thread title. 

Ummm. The title is & has said 4* since early this afternoon. Sounds like you posted without checking to see what was in the title.

Maybe we shouldn't get so hung up on stars? Just look at his offer list....

Auburn, bama, Texas, Tennessee, USC, Clemson, Florida, and about 30 others.

Looks like a pretty good pickup to me.

With a few exceptions, other schools that are after a player mean a lot more than how many stars he may have. Thats what gave me red flags on Harsin almost from the beginning. If none of your competitors are after him, chances are he’s not helping you beat them.

One for the good guys!

Hope one day we hear all the "funny" announcers say "they can't block Blocton."

I'm always hoping that these guys who are kinda 3s and kinda 4s are really solid with our coaching staff and can be coached up as real SEC competitors. I'm positive on this kid in hopes he excels!

I tend to worry less about stars when I see that other big time programs have hats on the table. That Bama hat told me everything I needed to know about Blocton.

That's my measuring stick as well. Assuming the offers are legit.

That's the rub. There's no way to tell if an offer is "commitable" or not. The schools don't/won't/can't say so all we have to go by is what is claimed by the player and common gossip.

I was told we go by On3's industry rankings.  He's a 3* there.  Rivals has him a 4.  Seems to have a solid offer list for an industry 3*.  Maybe he's a bump candidate

Since On3's consensus system is a bit hokey and 247 composite does not use On3 in their rankings, both are acceptable.

Just to clear up an earlier discussion, we have plenty of NIL 💰

Now if A&M out-bid us for a five star, that is another story. But lack of funds is not the problem.

FIFY. Deep pockets.

Well 247 has a huge list for Blocton. I doubt that's just what the players say? 🤷‍♂️
