Owls Land Pledges from JonDarius Gardner & Demarcus Glover for 2013 Class

Rick said

It's not fair to compare us to football programs that have been around for over 100 years in some cases.

We don't have the network, or history to pull from; which absolutely has an affect on the number of commitments of that caliber.

Make sense?

Sense?  You think that matters to OC40? 

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Yea true Rick but all this is saying it is not that impressive to find a Rob Houlser Alfred Morris everyone once in while.

A few "diamonds i the rough' are nice but some studs would be too.Anyf our commits switch to Auburn or Bama they go to 3 MINIMUM INSTANTLY and probably even four!

Ok, so then what's the difference? Does he instantly become a stud and a superstar because he got an offer from UF and decided to go there rather than FAU?
 Yes if you have to know Rivals can not get all the information on every kid out there if a kid is getting looked by a UF UGA etc they are most likely a stud.
Also rivals updates it stars just a few times a year so a kid who was just two star before a high school season then goes to some camps grabs a couple offers from BIG 6 schools rivals will bump them up.

So if we are recruiting a kid who's 2 stars but he has an offer from a Big 10 ten school then he gets upgraded to 3 stars because a bigger program has offered him?

I'm sorry but that's the biggest bunch of crap I have ever heard. So you're basically telling me that Giancarlo Stanton is really good player but he's on the Marlins, now if the Yankees tried to make a trade for him he instantly becomes a super star and a bona fide hall of famer?

His talents didn't change just because a school in the Big 10 offered him, so then why should his stars immediately increase?

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

I think what he is saying is…..

Rivals only updates their rankings 3-4 times a year. So if a prospect was a 2-star in the summer with offers from Ball State, FIU and Central Michigan and then plays his entire senior season and ends up with additional offers from Iowa, Indiana and Duke, Rivals might decide to bump him up to 3-stars. Now is this because of those new "big six" offers or because the individual now has better film and looked good his senior season. My guess is it's a combination of both.

 You have to remember Rivals does not scout the kids them selves so if big 6 are going after a kid they have to assume he is better then a kid who does not have Big 6 offers thus gets less star you also have to remember they do a lot  of talking to coaches both on the college and high school level. I remember my high school coach would be dead honest with this type of stuff when talking to college coaches and guys from site like rivals yea he would point his qualities since it was his player but since my head coach has coached many D-1 players in his career he had a lot of creditability so his word was strong when comparing player he had now to ones in the past.
It is not exact but it they do a solid job with their ranking on what they have.

The star system is not very scientific but it does show some accuracy over the years.  Lets just agree that the more three star guys we get, the better.

For some reason the BigSix programs seem to think it works just fine for them. better talent goes to better programs 95% of the time if not more. Bama does not recruit let alone offer ANY of our prospective results for a reason.

According to 247, "Pensacola (Fla.) Pine Forest 2-star DE Demarcus Glover decommitted from #FAU. Schedules two officials"

On their site it shows the two officials as… FAU on Dec. 1st (?) and ULL on Feb. 1st.
