Wow! Rivals Recruiting Facts
May 6, 2019, 10:53 PM
|

So according to Rivals' recruiting rankings tonight:
- Clemson is in a close race for top class with LSU. Same number of recruits (14), but we have a 100 point lead at 2,162.
- With 2 less recruits, we lead by 300 points over Bama
- With 2 more recruits than FSU, we lead by 1,000 points
- With 6 more recruits, we lead The Ohio State by 1,150
- With twice the recruits, we lead UGA by 1,200
- We lead SCAR by 9 recruits and 1,650
- Our 2019 9th-ranked recruiting class of 28 recruits had 16 three stars. The point total for last year's class was 2,516, only about 350 points better that this class...with arguably at least two more 5 stars to join. Our next two commits might give us more points than last year's class by the end of May!
It's a great time to be a Tiger!

I’d like to see us get number 1 recruiting but I believe no matter how good the class they will try to bump us down an others up. I’m just happy to have the best talent and developers of talent. Dabo has done better than anyone the last 3 years and even with Alabama the last 4. I’m so grateful for our talent and coaches.
Can’t imagine what they’ll do with this kind of talent!
Go Tigers!

I fully believe that those who make these things up, they will definitely fix the numbers to keep Clemson from having the #1 class. While they screw with the numbers, we will still be winning championships with the recruits that we bring in, and they are some of the best in the country regardless of how they play with the numbers!!!

Clemson is on top of the football world. Current champs, best player, best incoming player, best class, no one in their conference is within two touchdowns of them, they are set to dominate their hated in-state rival for the foreseeable future, favorites to win the championship next season. Short of winning the lottery, things literally could not be better for a Clemson football fan. Yet, this kind of made up conspiracy is what some of them focus on.

I care more about who is in the class than a subjective number that varies from one recruiting service to another.

Matter are on Jeff Scott's recruiting board.
Buckle up UGA. We won the last 2 with ~10th ranked recruiting classes. You already know you're going to get out coached.

Brandon Streeter is the Recruiting Coordinator.
And you are right. While recruiting is important, recruiting rankings mean very little. These services tend to rank the player who accept invitations to their all star game or announce through their service higher. There is a bias in the rankings. Otherwise they wouldn't constantly "evaluate" and change the rankings.

Paranoid Tiger fans

55-4, 2 out of 3 Natty's, ESPN talking heads all love us, the world of college football gives our coaches multiple national coach of the year awards, we are universally acknowledged as one of the top 2 programs in America, and we are atop most preseason top 10 polls.
Why in the world would any Clemson fan think anyone in the college football world is denying our Tigers their just due? Some of you guys sound like Bama fans who, after winning 5 natty's in 9 years, think the Tide doesn't get the respect it deserves. Whoever coined the phrase 'most sensitive fanbase in the country' got it right.
Geez. Straighten up. Walk tall. Be proud. We are the darlings of college football. Quit acting like the world is against us. Our Tigers are the Kings of the Sport, everyone knows it and everyone acknowledges it every freaking day.

Just a thought.

If you are beaten by a team that had a lower recruiting ranking badly, might that not be and indication there is probably an issue with the coaching and player development?

It also might be an indication that the recruiting rankings were wrong.

I'm sure it's highly subscription driven

but after a while those services just start to look stupid when Bama tops the charts every year but loses two of the last 3 NCs to us. Ultimately makes Bama look like an underachiever and the service look like a partisan pumper.

Heard a Rivals analyst say yesterday

That in the history of their rankings, they've never had four 5 stars commit to a team in a row like we have. He also said that there is a chance that we could end up with eight or nine 5 stars before it's all said and done because recruits will want to be a part of a historic class.

at least it is not 247, who after jumping the Shark with Jadeveon Clowney, now has to cram their top 15 recruits within .1 points of one another to have any kind of year to year consistency in the rankings.
