Michigan lands a big one. In-state DE Braiden McGregor (6-6, 250 lbs) commits to Michigan over Notre Dame and Florida. McGregor is ranked by 247Sports as the #1 player in Michigan, the #28 player overall in the nation, and the #3 Strongside Defensive End in the nation. ESPN ranks him as the #1 player in Michigan, the #26 player overall in the nation, and the #2 Strongside Defensive End in the nation. Nice rankings. So why is he the #89th ranked player in the nation and the #4 SDE, and the #3 player in the state of Michigan in the 247Composite? Rivals. Rivals ranks him as a 5.7 3 Star and the #27th Outside Linebacker in the country and the 13th ranked player in the state of Michigan. Uhm. What?
Rivals used to be the leader in this stuff. Kinda crazy to see them disintegrate and fall off the face of the earth right in front of our eyes. 247 is the standard now and ESPN has moved past Rivals.
