Rivals and the Bama factor

I could be reading this wrong but it looks like rivals upped a Bama commit 50 spots to put him at No 3. A bit sketchy.

Yep. Young played a good game even though he lost to DJU!

If he's so good, why'd they wait to the week before signing day to do it.
Jump him 10, okay.
Jump him 50.....you are manipulating the results.

Young is definitely a top 5-10 player in my opinion.
Let's see if ESPN has the good sense to do something similar with DJ, who they currently have ranked at #48. Moronic!

Every year, for as long as I can remember, if a kid committed to us instead of an $EC team, they would get downgraded.

Recruiting in general and recruiting rankings in particular - are always sketchy.

He is not the only one. D. Kennedy, ILB just jumped up

from 75th to 22nd in Rivals 250 during the same period. So, two Bama players in the top 25, one just jumped from 53rd to 3rd, and another moved up 53 spots from 75th to 22nd over the same time. Ridiculous!

A little odd to me. He is listed at 6-0 ft 180 lbs in Rivals
Dec 14, 2019, 8:23 PM
|
|
while 247 lists has him at 5-11 183.
That may work in High School, but not so much in a Power 5 football program.

Bryce Young is definitely a top 5 player. He's legit.

It is funny though that he didn't jump 50 spots until he

committed to Alabama.
I knew someone would bring up Murray. Not the same skill set with Young. I saw him play his last high school game on YouTube

He's been committed to Alabama the entire time.

That is a bold statement.

Ot is usually a dlineman or qb

So that isnt surprising. I'm also not a recruiting guru.. young may be the greatest football recruit ever.
I do know this
Young was the #2 QB DJ #1
They played on 11/30. Both ball out DJ 444 yrd 5td Young 405 yrd 5 td, 3 int
DJ won.. he continue playing football Young's season is over on 11/30
DJ keeps playing and wins a state title on 12/14
Young is not playing football
Young commis to bama Young makes a huge jump in rivals ratings while Not playing football.
Young becomes #1 while not playing football DJ drops to #2 QB by winning a state title
You tell me... what did young do to jump so high? He wasn't playing football, what was he doing?

Two points
Dec 16, 2019, 10:22 AM
|
|
1) Young beat DJ back in October and outplayed him. Mater Dei was up huge in that game before DJ led a late comeback charge that fell short 39-34. I think at one point it might have been 39-6 or something though.
2) When was the last update? That matters a lot. Bryce Young has had an incredible season and if the rankings haven't been updated in a while, they are likely just accounting for that now.

..dunno.. with some quick googling

He decomittrd from USC on 9/22. Committed to bama Was#3 at that time
They played each other on 11/30. DJ won. I found a rival's article from 13 days ago sayin young was #1 dual qb... #2 qb in his state and #3 overall.
So sometime in the last couple weeks?

Rivals has a chart..
Dec 16, 2019, 11:05 AM
|

He was#53 player in September Is #3 in December.
Looks like he is still #1dual, #2 in state, and #3 nationally I guess?
Maybe ....i'm reading these rankings wrong.
So the real mystery is why all the sudden? If he was showing out all year, why not a gradual climb?
Did 50 other players start doing bad ?

Because they only change rankings a few times per year.
Remember, they are tracking several hundred athletes. It's a lot of work.

Rivals doesn't re-rank players during the high school season.
