Coach Hayes & Footballville) talk Rankings (Andrew Ivins interview included

Streeter only posted part of the ivins interview.. i believe in the full interview, Ivins talks about how the program a player commits to impacts his star ranking. He gets into how A player going to a team w/ a weak track record of developing first rounders will see his grade fall.

It makes sense. It’s an impossible job. NFL spends millions to scout a pool thats a much smaller and more finished product and they still get it wrong. HS to College is way harder to evaluate and the pool is way way bigger. There is no way they can scout all the kids by themselves. They 100% pay attention to offers and the extent they are pursued by these certain programs. If Saban jumps on a kid late in the process and is prioritizing him over other kids, there maybe something to said kid…

I would think the quickest way to evaluate is to check the offers… I don’t know if it’s fair to penalize a kid for the staff he commits to, but I see the logic.

There are thousands of D1 players. Even if you went to a camp everyday, you would still not have a full grasp on it all. You have to rely on data i.e. offers and visits and build relationships. You have to know people in the football communities and pick their brains and ultimately rely on some of their evals. This ultimately leads to some favoritism and if you aren’t with the right people, it may be tough to get noticed. The ranking stuff isn’t perfect, in fact it’s pretty **** flawed but you need something and delivering a better product isn’t easy
