Rivals and the Bama factor


Dec 14, 2019, 7:34 PM

I could be reading this wrong but it looks like rivals upped a Bama commit 50 spots to put him at No 3. A bit sketchy.

I have watched him play, he is good!

Yep. Young played a good game even though he lost to DJU!

If he's so good, why'd they wait to the week before signing day to do it.

Jump him 10, okay.

Jump him 50.....you are manipulating the results.

I thought the same thing, Total BS!

Young is definitely a top 5-10 player in my opinion.

Let's see if ESPN has the good sense to do something similar with DJ, who they currently have ranked at #48. Moronic!

Every year, for as long as I can remember, if a kid committed to us instead of an $EC team, they would get downgraded.

Recruiting in general and recruiting rankings in particular - are always sketchy.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


He is not the only one. D. Kennedy, ILB just jumped up


Dec 14, 2019, 8:15 PM

from 75th to 22nd in Rivals 250 during the same period. So, two Bama players in the top 25, one just jumped from 53rd to 3rd, and another moved up 53 spots from 75th to 22nd over the same time. Ridiculous!

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Hes legit... hes earned that ranking on the field***


Dec 14, 2019, 8:16 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

A little odd to me. He is listed at 6-0 ft 180 lbs in Rivals


Dec 14, 2019, 8:23 PM

while 247 lists has him at 5-11 183.

That may work in High School, but not so much in a Power 5 football program.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Guess you just forgot Kyler Murray


Dec 14, 2019, 8:32 PM

Bryce Young is definitely a top 5 player. He's legit.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Snowflake Basher........Out


It is funny though that he didn't jump 50 spots until he


Dec 15, 2019, 10:47 AM

committed to Alabama.

I knew someone would bring up Murray. Not the same skill set with Young. I saw him play his last high school game on YouTube

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


He jumped 50 spots because he lit up CA football this year


Dec 16, 2019, 8:06 AM

He's been committed to Alabama the entire time.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Looks like he committed to USC in 2018


Dec 16, 2019, 11:07 AM

And then swapped to bama late September.

Ok..top 5..so you are saying


Dec 16, 2019, 8:26 AM [ in reply to Guess you just forgot Kyler Murray ]

he is better than 23 of the 28 composite 5 star players?

That is a bold statement.

Is it surprising for the #1 QB prospect to be in the top


Dec 16, 2019, 8:32 AM

5 or 10?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Ot is usually a dlineman or qb


Dec 16, 2019, 9:46 AM

So that isnt surprising.
I'm also not a recruiting guru.. young may be the greatest football recruit ever.

I do know this

Young was the #2 QB
DJ #1

They played on 11/30. Both ball out
DJ 444 yrd 5td
Young 405 yrd 5 td, 3 int


DJ won.. he continue playing football
Young's season is over on 11/30

DJ keeps playing and wins a state title on 12/14

Young is not playing football

Young commis to bama
Young makes a huge jump in rivals ratings while Not playing football.

Young becomes #1 while not playing football
DJ drops to #2 QB by winning a state title

You tell me... what did young do to jump so high? He wasn't playing football, what was he doing?

Two points


Dec 16, 2019, 10:22 AM

1) Young beat DJ back in October and outplayed him. Mater Dei was up huge in that game before DJ led a late comeback charge that fell short 39-34. I think at one point it might have been 39-6 or something though.

2) When was the last update? That matters a lot. Bryce Young has had an incredible season and if the rankings haven't been updated in a while, they are likely just accounting for that now.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

..dunno.. with some quick googling


Dec 16, 2019, 10:56 AM

He decomittrd from USC on 9/22.
Committed to bama
Was#3 at that time

They played each other on 11/30. DJ won.
I found a rival's article from 13 days ago sayin young was #1 dual qb... #2 qb in his state and #3 overall.


So sometime in the last couple weeks?

Rivals has a chart..


Dec 16, 2019, 11:05 AM

He was#53 player in September
Is #3 in December.


Looks like he is still #1dual, #2 in state, and #3 nationally I guess?

Maybe ....i'm reading these rankings wrong.

So the real mystery is why all the sudden? If he was showing out all year, why not a gradual climb?

Did 50 other players start doing bad ?

Re: Rivals has a chart..


Dec 16, 2019, 11:16 AM

Because they only change rankings a few times per year.

Remember, they are tracking several hundred athletes. It's a lot of work.

Rivals doesn't re-rank players during the high school season.
