What recruiting rankings do you use?

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Am curious to see if the board has a consensus on what recruiting rankings they use.

I've always used Rivals even though I signed up with Scout today so I could read Sam's stuff.

ESPN is really lazy to me with theirs. Their team sites went under a couple years ago, which speaks volumes of what others think of their rankings/insider info. I do like Tom, though.

the entire industry is disgusting.

To be honest this site disgust me sometimes.  i get it, people want to ooh and ahh at the future, but it is getting pretty intrusive.  

If Mgoblog never covered recruiting again I wouldn't be upset.  And yes I read stuff on here,  I read everything on here, i just wish we could get back to breaking down game film and talking about the games rather then this crap...  

love,

I don't pay anything for recruiting sites, but I always defer to Rivals.  TBH, I know it sounds petty but something about their site is just more aesthetically pleasing and easier to navigate.  It has always been that way.

I tend to look at average star ranking on rivals. The team rankings are basically just who has the most recruits. Outside the top few, the talent doesn't necessarily correspond to the rank.

I use 247's composite rankings. Pretty much combines all the rankings and info from all of the sites and creates an average for the recruit..... That or I just use whichever site has that particular recruit ranked the highest. Whatever works.

Use the composite on 247.

But my eyes are the main factor. Even though I've never played league football...I've done my fair share of couch QB'ing.
