The Fran fade

The misinformation was that Bowen wasn't a 4 star by any recruiting service which isn't true. He is a 4 star, top 100 recruit by 247's ratings.

Ah, so you knew this about your recruit but you didn't know completely how recruiting services worked. So you follow all this closely enough you knew when a rival board made a mistake about his recruiting level but you don't know how recruiting rankings work in general.

Ah, it all makes so much sense now.

What a true blue fan and recruiting expert you are! We are so lucky to have you here!
 
I am surprised CP84 is this optimistic even though I shouldn't be. Remember when he said this?


Jok should have a pretty good shot at sticking with an NBA team. Much better chance than any player from Iowa or Iowa State the last couple years (Niang, Uthoff, Morris, etc.).
Is that who that is? When it was down to us and Iowa for Eli Sanders, someone said he was using Ladell Betts as a reason why he should pick Iowa, lol

The 247 rankings are pretty straight forward and easy to read. The composite is much more complicated as I was wrong on how it was calculated and multiple ISU fans that post here couldn't explain the algorithm either.

Understood.

I hear they have a great handle on it over at Husker Nation, maybe drop in over there - they can help you out.
 
Wait I actually am confused though lol. How is Eli King’s composite #73 when none of the services have him ranked that high? I read the explanation on 247 and they said that every major service shares an equal percentage in the composite. Are there other major ones besides 247 rivals and espn?

Because he's ranked by all 3 where a lot of prospects near him aren't. Not being a 4 star or in the top 100/150 on Rivals for a recruit ranked similar to him in 247 kills your composite. For example the recruit behind him in the composite is ranked ahead of him in 247 but isn't in rivals top 150

Ah I see, that makes sense thanks
 
Also side note but I went to the Minnesota rankings on ESPN to find King’s profile and they have DJ Jefferson who ISU has recruited a little bit ranked 4th in their state rankings under the name “DJ Peterson”. Gotta love ESPN lmao

I thought it was a fair question.
