[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 969598, member: 282"] For recruiting, let’s add in potential and grit, so there is talent, potential, grit, and results. Some players go to a school with all the equipment and a program so that almost everyone on your first 22 is better than the other team. It’s easier to look good as a WR when the QB has all day to throw. Potential comes in again when you look at how old the players are. Some parents hold their kids back a year (or two) so that they’re older and bigger when they go on the field. Some recruits already have as much muscle or speed as they’re capable of—or at least all of the “easy gains”. There’s also the flip side of measurables. In basketball, being 7’ tall will get you offers even if you can’t move or don’t even like basketball. NBA scouts regularly meet 7’ players from overseas who are just showing up because they can get $$$ for being tall—and that’s not enough to compete at that level. Likewise, there’s the 4.4 40 WR who can’t catch well or won’t block, who can’t run a good route, but they’re 4*. There are 300 lb players who can’t move. There are about 2700 FBS recruits a year, and there are transfers. Some of them are at camps all the time getting evaluated. Others aren’t. Some of the ratings are based on who is offering, but coaches don’t want to leak all they know. Are the recruiting services really able to do a thorough job evaluating athletes and keep up with all the news about your favorite school? That’s too much Ratings are going to be inaccurate. On the field results are a good way to recalibrate. If a team is mid-P5 in the recruiting rankings and bottom third in defense, [B]something is wrong with the ratings.[/B] Additionally, when the portal comes calling, the underrated players or the ones that lived up to their ratings are the ones who’ll get poached. That’s going to bias the “talent composite ratings”. [/QUOTE]
