Added a few things just now - More insights

  • Favorite new addition is the right border Team Breakdown on the Top 247 and all other rankings:
    http://247sports.com/Recruit/Top-247
    http://247sports.com/Recruit/State-Ranking/2013/Football/GA
    http://247sports.com/Recruit/Position-Ranking/2013/Football/APB

    These lists still have state and position breakdowns which were added awhile ago.

    We also did some work on Advanced Search and have it working a lot better now
    http://247sports.com/Player?CurrentPlayerInstitution.PlayerSports.Sport=Football&LatestRecruitment.Year=2013&CurrentPlayerInstitution.Institution.Type=1,2,3,4

    Now all football schools have latest twitter feeds (even ones we do not have schools for):
    http://247sports.com/Team/Tweets (click the 247 logo next to Twitter Mentions at the top to see list)

    Finally we added an automated timeline event for any time a recruits Rating (not ranking) changes that will show the date of the change. This will begin to show as we add more or make changes.

    We continue to work on user rewrite as we fit these in. That's progressing and should be in testing by end of this month. board rewrite begins after user rewrite is completed.

  • That breakdown is badass. I love the Top 5 showing under each prospect, also.

  • The only one that seems to colapse back down is Nkemdiche at the top of the list;

  • Thanks for the update Noah. Was there going to be a state of Ohio update this week? It was mentioned in JC's new 5* article.

    Another feature I was thinking about the other day. How about an option where you can compare common offers that school have to recruits.

    You have to click the up arrow to the far right under "Teams". It collapses and shows the Top 5 .

  • Will recruiting coach be an option to click in the near future to see what coaches went after/got each recruits?

    I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said.

    The breakdown is really cool on past years ... 50+ school had a member of the Top 247 in 2012.

  • While we have you here, will we have the option predict the classes for this recruiting cycle. What I mean is move uncommitted kids in and out of programs to see where schools end up? It was discussed a few months ago.

    On a side note, the quote function isn't working on my mobile. I don't know if it is my phone or the site.

    Yes, but that's probably something in the Fall. I'll look into quote.

    Yes. Early mocks for coach pages are circling the office now.

  • Also added some more detail to the Position Breakdown on the right border ... now shows entire group and subset positions. Great snapshot of needs IMO ... see the example below (It's Alabama because I know they recently updated it)
    http://alabama.247sports.com/Recruit/Targets

    All these minor things we're adding are meant to help the non-diehards get a quick snapshot and be able to say something relevant at the water cooler in little to no time invested in research.

  • It's interesting to me to look at the number of states a USC, Nebraska or Notre Dame recruits compared to a Texas and Alabama .. and now it's all nicely packaged on the right border of these lists:

    Well let me try this again! When I select (push) the arrow to the right to expand the player profile it expands. On all, but the first one on the list (Nkemdiche) the arrow then disappears so I can not push it again to collapse the profiles (except for the very first one)!!
