I've been following recruiting longer than this guy has been alive. I regularly talk to coaches and people who actually run recruiting sites. The guys doing the evualations will readily admit that due to the sheer numbers of players outside the high profile guys their rankings are mostly based on who has offered them

The more recruiting cycles and seasons into FBS we get, the more I start to believe this is true, and even if they claim they don't do that, it's difficult to believe that the list of offers of a player does not bias them.

I'm not professional scout, but I can see with my own eyes that NDSU's talent level is not lower than the least-talented FBS teams and I can see with my own eyes there's no significant talent gap between Arkansas State and UCF.

Oooooooh but the recruiting rankers don't care about FCS but they're very meticulous about doing G5 recruiting rankings!

Ahh yes the individual example....the tool of the fool. Yes NDSU has risen above what their rankings would indicate but 99.9% of the other FCS schools have not sooo...I guess it is all garbage.

They dont care about evaluating FCS talent because people dont care about FCS football. There are literally thousands of kids gets getting FBS offers and they are supposed to worry about a kid getting whose only offer is from Elon? If a soph or jr has not been evaluated and has three P5 offers dont you think he should be looked at versus a kid with a handful of FCS and DIV II offers? Lets see Nick Saban just offered this junior but that one senior just landed an offer from Mercer hmmmm which one should we get to first......
