2021 247/Rivals/etc. National and Regional Rankings

This is from a Dawg Recruiting article so it's focus is more on UGA, but it poses an interesting theory. Should Senior Tape matter more than "Elite 11 Camp" and "THA OPENING" appearances. It would seem that it's trending that way.



Outside of the LOLPENNSTATE, what do you guys think? Is it a good practice to hold a couple of ships in your pocket and wait till you see senior film?
Do you miss the chance to be on recruits "TOP 6, TOP 4, TOP 9" list if you do so?

Im not an expert but I think it varies. I think the senior tape of a prospect who plays in a large, competitve division and a strong football state (TX, CA, FL, etc...) should absolutely be a big factor. I also think for some athletes coming from smaller schools and less noteworthy states in terms of overall talent, you like to take into account what they do against other top competition at camps because you don’t necessarily know if what is on film is talent, as much as just being that much better and stronger/faster than the competition. Now you’ve got to be able to make those judgements as to what you put your stock in to and it’s an inexact science just as recruiting in general is.

yeah, it's great that we are in on so many top-level RB's. Only problem, I remember being in the same spot last year too. What looked promising early on at the position fizzled out in the end. I do feel that with such an emphasis being put on the position this cycle, a couple of those guys will buy into what the coaches are selling and we'll land 2 quality guys in the end.

235. Stellato
299. Johnson[/QUOTE]

I know we're only supposed to discuss OSU recruiting here, but Stellato at #235? Way to put a chip on his shoulder, ESPN! BTW, I also think Johnson is underrated, but I want him to keep his chip.

a legit shot at over 20% of the top 50 players in the class? UNREAL!!!!
Actually, per HotMic's list, we could get up to 13 players currently in the top 50, which would be over a quarter (26%) of the top 50:

4. Tuimoloau
8. Sawyer
11. Egbuka
13. Grimes
15. Adeleye
16. Jackson
26. McCord

31. Payne
35. Johnson
40. Wolfe
42. Harrison Jr.
44. Malone
50. Davis
