TigerNet is good but most of us bring our information over from Rivals. Rivals is pretty good but you have to have a subscription.

What do you put behind that opinion? In your opinion, I bet you know what you are talking about also.

yeah they're def in a class by themselves...lol

247 is garbage


Feb 6, 2014, 4:36 AM

Look at what players that they rank and productivity. Most of who they miss more than the others by far. Someone had on another site the best recruiting sites based on how players lived up to their "stars". 247 was dead last and rivals was 1st.

Did not put a lot of time in this, but by looking at just the first ten picks of last years draft, you can see that 247 missed A LOT!!! They rated only 2 out of the first 10 draft picks while Rivals rated 5 of them. Rivals gave 4 stars to 3 of the players that 247 did not even draft.

Now, if chickens want to keep thinking 247 is the shhh just because they gave a good rating to the chickens, they should go ahead, logic and numbers never made sense to chickens anyway.

"Clemson Is Coming" says Stephone Anthony (Class 2011)"
"Why NOT Clemson"
"Why Not Dabo"


Rivals had Deshaun Watson as a five star QB all season long

The only one.

It's best to mix it up and get a diversified opinion. Composites are usually the best way to do it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

true. do it like a selection committee, throw the high-


Feb 6, 2014, 8:34 AM

est and lowest rankings out, and then take the avg.,and you should get a pretty accurate answer.

Re: true. do it like a selection committee, throw the high-


Feb 6, 2014, 8:42 AM

Exactly. This year using the big 4 (ESPN, 247, Rivals, Scout) we were #12, 13, 18, 28. Throw out 12 & 28 and you get an average ranking of 15.5, which I think is fair for this class. It was a very good but not elite group, with a lot of focus on offense.

2015's class could make some serious noise now that we've already landed Hyatt...if Artavis Scott can come in and do well immediately and then get in George Campbell's ear, those could be two of the five best players in the nation coming to Clemson.

I'm going to try not to get ahead of myself though haha

Feb 6, 2014, 8:45 AM

ify, so that adds at least 1 more to the '15 class (after prep school), and i'm not sure of any of the rest.

Feb 6, 2014, 9:04 AM

Yea I've heard there may be a couple of non-qualifiers unfortunately...so there may have to be a couple of JUCO transfers next year.

Also, if we land Kamara, he's essentially part of the 2015 class.

247 is the least professional.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

247...


Feb 6, 2014, 8:36 AM

Uses a composite ranking system that takes all the major recruiting sites and ranking into the equation.

Hard to beat that.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: 247...


Feb 7, 2014, 9:40 AM

Not sure about that.... How do they miss on so many that the others do not then?

Like I posted earlier, they did not rate 80% of the top ten picks in last years draft while all the others had at least 5 of them rated.

You are a chicken though, so you will not understand that.
