I thought you controlled all the ratings for 247?? At least that's what the hokies tell me.

I don't know what the final rankings look like. I did give my opinion on Top247 players in Phoenix and did suggest that Deon Clarke is moved up the in-state rankings. I didn't talk about Harold. We'll see soon enough.

Interesting tweet from Barton on the subject ...
In the new Top247, there will actually be LESS five-stars than the current list. 4 guys are moving in and 7 guys are moving out.

just saw the list and am a bit confused. Eli is still ranked in the 40's but is a 5*. Players ahead of him are lower star ranked. Can you explain this system Jamie?

The rankings aren't published yet. Calm down. When the story and the rankings go live, I'll post it.

Barton played football at Yale, what did you expect. It's no Harvard.

Turncoat. Don't be pressured by those outside forces from the southwest!

Congrats to Eli for getting his 5th star!!
At the other end of the spectrum, I absolute love the upside of our (4) "two star" recruits -- Will Wahee, Demeitre Brim, Kyle Dockins and Jamall Brown.

Jamie does this mean team rankings will automatically update as well. I assume having a 5* would bring us up a bit?
