RE: Triple Option Question For Georgia Southern & Arkansas State Fans

Another kid was originally rated as a 3 star, but when he committed to ASU he was downgraded to a 2 star.
Recruiting services have no idea how to evaluate and simply rank prospects based off their offer list, going off the assumption that if a P5 school offers a kid, they must be good.
I think the recruiting services do a good job at evaluating the top 50, maybe 100, kids in each class. Once you get out of that level its mostly a guess because there are so many prospects compared to a few good scouts. I see it two ways, first if you have a good coach, you should trust them more than what the recruiting service says. Second, why would a good scout want to make a relative little amount scouting tons of high school players when they could move over and work for either a school or NFL team and make much more.
