Class of 2013: Our higher calls

  • http://247sports.com/Article/A-look-at-outliers-in-the-Top247-compared-to-the-247Composite-120280

    A look at several 2013 prospects 247Sports ranked higher than the rest of the recruiting industry and why we made the calls we did.

  • Don't feel like 2nd vs. 18th is that big. But I understand wanting to put Jones on there, given that you guys had him as a 5* before anyone else had him even ranked, it seemed.

    Good article. Shows which prospects 247 is putting themselves on the line with.

  • Very interesting read. It will be particularly interesting to revisit down the road a couple years.

    I agree. Good calls or bad calls, these were our "higher" calls. Look for an article next week on the prospects we had significantly lower than the rest.

  • Gerry good stuff. I think I would agree with most of the 247 rankings you have listed here over the composite. It is clear that guys like Cook, Nelson, and Marshall were just complete whifs by the other recruiting services. Those analyst probably wouldn't even know who you were talking about if you mentioned their names.

  • I think this is just fun stuff.

    No matter where anyone has prospects ranked, they have to keep ascending and maximize their talent IMO.

    More than every before because there are so many talented kids out there, it's a talent maximization contest.
