[quote=“Niner National, post:60, topic:28822”]On 247sports.com, App has wayyyyyyyyyyyy more 3 stars than we do. By 247’s rankings, they had the 2nd best class in the Sun Belt for 2014 and 93rd overall. Now some of that has to due with the fact that they simply had more scholarships to give than most of their SBC counterparts, but they also had a pretty impressive haul based on 247’s rankings.
At this level, so much depends on coaching, luck, and fit more than rankings. Boise State was getting mostly 2 and 3 star guys several years ago when they were just starting their amazing run of success. They probably had high caliber transfers thrown in there as well that weren’t on the recruiting records, but they got the most out of guys that were overlooked. It’ll be up to our coaching staff to do the same.[/quote]
They also have a dedicated 247 site which generally boost a recruit when he commits. Not a big deal because we all know to take these ratings with a grain of salt.
