Was the Elite 11 Finals MVP, so yeah...ain't happening

I'd like to see a multiyear overview of how the E11 top ten compares versus the top ten QBs on, say, the 247-composite. Back when I used to follow both closely, I was surprised by how different the two lists were. My hypothesis is that the composite better correlates with postseason awards and NFL draft order. Hypothesis means guess, but Dilfer never seemed trustworthy or consistent as a judge, so I can't start by giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, no clue, but I'm guessing his re-rank will be quite a bit higher than a middling 3* with WSU and MSU as his presumptive leaders.  I'm always wary of guys shooting up based on how they look in shorts, but MSU already missed on their 1-a and 1-b targets at QB, so as a third option, I suppose they could do worse, I just don't see a guy with the options he should have now, playing across the country in MSU's trash offense.

What's his name? From your posts it sounds like his offer list still hasn't grown. Maybe it won't.

Four star safety Lathan Ransom commits to the Bucks out of Arizona

UW got its cornerback yesterday. Colorado CB Max Lofy made his commitment after official visits to UW, Okie State and Minnie. UW is likely done at this position with this commitment.

Blaise Gunnerson hasn't played in a high school football game since his sophomore season, but the rising senior is still enjoying a summer full of recognition.

The outside linebacker from Carroll, Iowa, of course, verbally committed to Nebraska earlier this month. He was invited to January's All-American Bowl and accepted, meaning he'll get a week among some of the best high school competition in the country.

Then this week he was put squarely among that level of competition by 247Sports, which vaulted him up in its 2020 rankings all the way to the No. 124 player overall in the country.


Gunnerson had previously been a three-star prospect. The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder is now ranked the No. 7 strongside defensive end in the country and the No. 2 player out of Iowa.

Four star LB Kourt Williams commits to the Buckeyes out of California

Four star safety RJ Moten commits to the class. He joins Four star safety Jordan Morant, with four star safety Makari Paige seeming probable to join this week at the annual stadium barbecue. That's not the best class of 3+ safeties in history, but it's a good one.

Dawgs got a commit from some dude who is 6'7" and 327 pounds, in high school.  How do you get that big in HS?  And he plays DB.


Not really.

Some running back out of CA committed to UGA.  Our last 5* once in a generation RB tore two ACLs.  We'll see if he's back soon enough.

Shame what happened to Zamir White. He was one of the very best RB recruits to come down the pike in the last decade imo. Not quite Leonard Fournette, but as close as it gets. 

I’m just relieved that the 5* RB Kendall Milton out of Cali didn’t go to Ohio State. I’d much rather him play at Georgia than at the enemy.

This class has lot of 247 composite 4* guys. Light on the 5 STARZ though. 

Rivals rankings of a few of Michigan’s commits is downright baffling though. Specifically Braiden McGregor and RJ Moten’s rankings. 

This safety class is looking nice. Morant, Moten, and Paige if he comes through is not too shabby at all.

Bastage!!!Supposedly the Bucks have another 4*/5* in the wings and this might have had something to do with it.But it is all mostly tail feathers until February
