When did the modern star system come into play? I've only watched a bit of recruiting the last 10 years or so.The idea that some player was ranked 2 or 3 stats two decades or more ago and would be ranked 2 or 3 star today is asinine.
While the rankings aren't perfect, there's no way a lot of our past greats wouldn't have been ranked higher with all the visibility there is today. Think Reed doesn't go to camps and get a lot of attention? Taylor? They would show out then their film would be everywhere online with highlights etc.
Good thing it was the way it was or likely they wouldn't have been here.

How did a kid like Ed Reed not get swiped up by LSU?
Wiltfong just put up a video with Josh Pate talking a few five-stars. Small update on Singletary, he said he’s hearing some UGA buzz and he’s interested to see if that maintains, he knows he’s interested in Miami, and he is going to the gator for their first game next weekend. Says he talked to Singletary today and he said for sure he’s coming to Miami for a game. Wilt’s Dong said as of this second he’s say it’s UGA, then Miami, then the gator in that order but stressed that’s not definitive. Just how he sees it. But Miami very much in the game and if not in the driver’s seat, a close second. Win and keep crootin.
I was at that Gator game back in I think 2015 maybe where FAU almost beat the gayter at the swamp. ( my wife went to FAU and her two sisters went to UF and I was hoping to witness a miracle and almost did).He giving us a complimentary visit for our FAU game lol
Can we get the thread back on track. Maybe you could post general recruiting discussion in a different thread.
Define slight Rusty.
Wiltfong will ALWAYS pick the SEC if there's a choice.Wiltfong just put up a video with Josh Pate talking a few five-stars.

Definitely. If he says our main competition has a slight edge that means we are in the driver’s seat, baby.Wiltfong will ALWAYS pick the SEC if there's a choice.
FAU winning.Was the miracle fau winning or a 4-some with the sisters?
Ever consider the possibility that Reed wanted to come here vs staying in Louisiana?A few years after. Literally right after you had Scout and Rivals, then ESPN and 247.
I have no idea why LSU wasn't on him. He was all state in football and track and field. He had a bunch of interceptions his senior yea.and several kickoff and punt returns as well. He also went to a known school. You've got me on that.

These 247 guys are SEC slurps, and always say a whole lot of nothing!!!
They even have Gabby saying dunb s**t like Big Boy Football
Not anymore they don't.Fwiw 247 is owned by CBS sports, who airs (& constantly promotes) "the SEC game of the week" every Saturday. Not like they have any financial interest in the success of the SEC or anything.
They're still owned by Viacom/CBS. Its why CBS sports dedicates an entire section on its frontpage to 247sports.Not anymore they don't.
