Final Top 247 list for 2017
The final Top 247 was released (LINK). Dylan McCaffrey isn't as high on the list as some surely would like to see, and Donovan Peoples-Jones took a bit of a drop (he's still a 5-star). However, Luiji Vilain is at #36, which is four spots away from being a 5-star, and Michigan has seven guys in the top 100.
I listed all the targets/commits here if you're interested (LINK).

Let that be a lesson to all other recruits.

Najee has fallen to the #2 player in the country on composite as well. This clearly puts him in "luxury" status vs "need".
I feel better now.
Time to go flip Jaelan Phillips!
January 18th, 2017 at 4:27 PM ^
Using the "Ricky Bobby Theorem of Ordinal Measurement," Najee Harris is now also in last place...

Hey, what's the story on OSU QB Taint Martell? He's at #92 now. Isn't that a big dip from earlier?
January 18th, 2017 at 5:16 PM ^
January 18th, 2017 at 5:22 PM ^
That is taller than I thought he would measure in at.
January 18th, 2017 at 5:37 PM ^
Still pretty big for a dick.

Holy hell David Shaw and Stanford can recruit. Only 11 commits and 4 of them are 5 stars according to 247.
January 18th, 2017 at 5:40 PM ^
January 18th, 2017 at 5:41 PM ^
That's how you get into Stanford and why they have 1/2 the Olympic sport team members enrolled.

Justifiable, IMO. I thought this even if we had gotten Harris.
January 18th, 2017 at 5:42 PM ^
uh huh

Hi.
TTB score for all 247 players? Thanks in advance....

In that case, the 2021 and 2022 NFL Drafts are going to be really rough with all of those Brandon Minor, Craig Roh, and rich man's Ricky Barnum types.

It'll be interesting to see how McCaffrey performs in college after his enormous drop across the rankings.
January 18th, 2017 at 4:23 PM ^
What is the consensus on the cause of the drop? Lack of talent? Just not performing well at camps or throughout his high school season?
January 18th, 2017 at 4:27 PM ^
D. Wishful thinking

Some Magnus reasons:
- Sr season not materially better than Jr season
- Needs to get college S&C
- Arm strength needs upgrade (see S&C)
I'm pretty sanguine on any individual QB. Only 1 can play at a time. If you hit on 1 out of 3 you are fine and others are going to end up transferring anyhow. Just keep recruiting good ones and a few will pan out. Some won't. Even those in the top 50.

He is one of the reasons Nico looks to be going GA? I like him, glad he is our QB. Very high ceiling and a redshirt year to put on some pounds.

The rumored reasons for Collins looking at UGA involve lots and lots of Abraham Lincolns.

I know coaches change staffs, I guess bagmen do too.
It looks like UGA has picked up Ole Miss' bagman.
Great off-season acquisition for them.

He's a big fan of breakfast and we weren't going to add blueberry pancakes to the menu.

But he showed up a day late for practice. That had more to do with him being a 3rd stringer than anything.
January 18th, 2017 at 4:32 PM ^
Last year people saw what Christian could do and equated to potential / high ceiling for Dylan. Another factor - it is understandable for a kid to hit a growth spurt and stand 6'4" 185 his junior year. When he comes back at 6'4 185" for his senior year, he is no longer a prototypical 5-star pro-style QB. On the field junior and senior year were both solid, ending in State Championships.
The kid is a winner - but he has to add 30-40 lbs and some velocity to his throws before he'll see the field.

Could be similar to how I was when I was his age. I could eat 3000+ calories a day and barely gain a pound despite my strength going up on from weight training. Wasn't until I was 21 when I was able to start adding some bulk, and even then not until my mid 20's until I got over 200lbs - granted i'm 5'11" and not 6'4", but sometimes it takes people a while to get their "mature" body.

God I wish someone would look at me and say, "you really need to gain 30-40 pounds RIGHT AWAY!"
January 18th, 2017 at 5:07 PM ^
Sumo wrestlers are probably the only ones who are ever going to tell me that.
January 18th, 2017 at 5:39 PM ^
I'm here for you man

It is harder to gain weight at altitude. Just moving to Michigan should help with that.
