2020 Recruiting Thread

[Cincydawg]

I noticed the state of GA has no five stars for 2020 at 247 at the moment.  Zero.  They have 27 4s.

Nebraska football picked up its second commitment of the 2020 class on Wednesday, as wide receiver Zavier Betts committed to head coach Scott Frost while on an unofficial visit. 

The 6-foot-2, 189-pound Betts is the No. 1 player in the state of Nebraska according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, with an overall rating of 0.9531, making him the No. 91 prospect in the country. 

Betts chose the Huskers over offers from Minnesota, Iowa, Iowa State and South Dakota State. It was the Gophers who were the closest to Nebraska during his commitment.

247 updates their own ratings a bit. In the state of Michigan, DE Braiden McGregor moves up to the #1 player in the state and the #27 player in the nation overall. Three players bump to 4*'s in ATH Cameron Martinez, WR Maliq Carr, and Penn State commit OT Grant Toutant.

How can anyone update ratings without seeing someone play?

Bleh.

Bleh.

Watching them do semi-football things against other very good players mostly. 
Also watching which coaches think they're good.

My general take is that a five star is probably better than a 3 star, usually, and meh.  Whether a guy is 23rd best or 15th best is guessing.  I'm not one to get caught up in watching whether some player moved a bit up or down based on whatever.  This reminds me a lot of preseason rankings of teams.

I'm not going to have a cat if Athlon moves UGA from 4th to 2nd or 8th or 15th.  Have at it.

 Turner Corcoran chose to shut down his recruitment by committing to the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday afternoon during the Red-White game.

Nebraska won the commitment over Kansas, Kansas State, Ohio State and Oklahoma, all of whom Corcoran visited over the past few years.

Corcoran is one of the top linemen in the country, checking in with a four-star rating and the No. 6 offensive tackle ranking. He’s inside the Top 60 for both 247Sports and the industry generated 247Sports Composite.

Nebraska now holds three commitments for the 2020 season, as Corcoran joins quarterback Logan Smothers and wide receiver Zavier Betts. Smothers attended the spring game along with Corcoran.

I always like building from the lines first.

folks in Nebraska understand this

MSU gets a commitment from 4* S Darius Snow from Texas.  Had offers from Bama, Texas, UM, Georgia, ND, Oklahoma, etc...  Helps that his dad is former MSU basketball player Eric Snow.

Some think he'll grow into a linebacker, a la Denicos Allen

MSU lands 3/4* in state WR Ian Stewart over OSU, UM and PSU

5* OG Justin Rogers from Detroit, MI commits to....Kentucky? Seriously? 

How does a 5* kid who was leaning to OSU heavy early then visited Georgia and almost committed there on his visit wind up at motherf’n Kentucky. Kentucky? 

This makes no sense.
