A recruits ratings can be different depending on which recruiting site you follow. According to one site we have one 4 star , and according to others we have a few two stars. Honestly, I feel Rivals is the worst, not because they have Jango ranked the lowest of all the services ( Mid 3 Star ) but because I feel they are motivated by their Camps. I feel if you don’t go to their Camps, I feel it hurts your rankings. They have to hype kids to hype their Camps. I suspect by the final ranking Jango will be a 4 Star on Scout and 247. He is an 88 on 247, which is the highest 3 Star you can be. He is ranked by Scout as the 2nd OLB in Florida. Who you commit to also effects your ranking. If you commit to a big school who sells lots of subscriptions, you give the writers more to write about. Jango has two more big offers we didn’t list, because we don’t list offers that aren’t committable like most recruits do. Many kids have offers that frankly aren’t offers, but it helps their rankings To us they aren’t offers, and thus we don’t list them for the school to use us to sell stories or cause other recruits to rush their commitment . A commit to OSU or Whisky is going to move up in the rankings more so than one to NU. I watched a 3 Star recruit committed to WVU switch his commitment to OSU and get moved to a 4 star the next day. Did he all of a sudden improve in a day ? I have seen people comment on my son being a 3 star, but I have watched him destroy 4 and 5 star recruits at camp and on the field. I am quite sure after his first three games starting for IMG Academy he wont be looked at by most the bigger schools as a 3 star. Most knew he was poorly utilized and Coached at Lebanon. I think we have a few players who will move up in rankings and will continue to be pursued by the high profile teams.
I feel most the MVP's of the Camps are picked before the event, so they can continue to hype the recruits who are being talked about by the fans and thus sell subscriptions. My son has never done a Rivals camp, an oddly they have him ranked the lowest of the services.. . Every service saw him at the Best of the Midwest his Sophomore year. He was written about by 247 and Scout , 247 put Jango on their All Best of the Midwest team. Nothing written about him by Rivals. The MVP was Nick Connor who was a year older and later committed to OSU. Jango had faster times in EVERY event. The times weren't even close. So why wouldn't Jango get the MVP. Because Jango was a nobody and wouldn't help sell subscriptions. I enclosed the article by 247 about the Best of the Midwest. Read about Nick Connor in the article and then read about Jango. Why aren't Nicks times listed too ? Star ratings are used by the recruiting sites to hype recruits and sell subscriptions.
