2 Gamecocks get a bump to 4 star on ESPN
- Thread starter jeff2001
- Start date
How much analysis can be done on these kids in June?
Did they receive offers from Bama or Ohio State in June and that formed the basis for bumping them up?

So then why do some posters on this forum pan our 3 star recruits knowing some of them will soon be 4 stars?
If Clowney was called a 3 star, what would that mean? Does the inverse of your implication not apply?
No, don't hand clap now. You all were saying how awful ESPN is at recruiting rankings and that we shouldn't be paying attention to them.................unless of course the rankings favor us.
Give me a break.
Give me a break.
Wow, somehow yall turn this into an argument?
It goes both ways, some posters on here were panning the coaching staff for just signing 3 stars…now we have 4 4 stars in this class so far.
Actually it stays at 2 because neither Rose or Brubaker are 4 stars on ESPN. So if you go by ESPN it's 3 because they still have Braden Davis rated as a 4 star.
That's the crux of the problem with our class, none of these guys are consensus good gets.
We need fb season to hurry up and get here so we can ‘hit someone besides each other’. Of course there are a lot on here who just want to argue (over anything).
Me, on this subject, I simply look at it and ask; is it a bad thing that these guys got bumps?? I look at it, smile, figure it’s a good thing, and look forward to the next bit of good news.
You clearly responded before my edit so I'll reiterate the problem.
The problem with our class is none of these guys are consensus good gets.
No the problem is posters like you find something to complain about. For someone who claims to be a fan you have a funny way of showing it. Not a single positive post…
Trust me. I would love for the coaches to take away my valid reasons for complaining.
This is just a false statement, period.
completely false that " none of these guys are consensus good gets". But please, keep spitting your venom.
Do you have any facts that would refute the reality not a single one of them is a consensus 4 star?
The composite ratings, Brubaker and Davis are both 4*s on average rating. But I am refuting your poor "point" that these guys are not "good gets". The offer lists prove otherwise.
You have no idea how accurate the offer lists are and which “offers” are actually committable.
I said consensus, not average. An outlier can ruin an average.
The offers are reported, I will take those reports over your opinion.
You know, 10K posts and about 750 "likes" tells me all I need to know about you.
I don't pay as much attention to a recruit's ranking as I do his offer list. He's a 3 star with offers from Bama, PSU, ND, OSU, UGA, UF, FSU, and Oregon, he's probably perceived to be pretty good. If he's a 3 star with offers from Akron, Ga State, Vandy, Illinois and Rutgers, then maybe not quite so good.
I've never been one to get excited about a recruit JUST b/c he commits to us. That seems to be the sentiment of some...the coaches evaluated him, offered him and he committed, so he must be good!

My opinion? My opinion has nothing to do whether or not you know something. I’ve been a member for 20 years, long before likes were a thing.
But that type of reasoning explains your faulty conclusions.
This response proves my point. Your "opinion" about the offers is just that, your opinion. The offers are reported by multiple sites.
in 20 years, you think you would have a better understanding of how things work, but again, please keep complaining, lord knows there is not enough of that on this board.
ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE........ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE...
It isn’t an opinion to ask whether or not you know if an offer is committable.
That is by definition a question and clearly not an opinion.
See you keep changing your points to try and fit your own narrative. You stated "You have no idea how accurate the offer lists" well if 3 different sites are reporting the same thing, it's pretty accurate. It's not really an opinion. The committable or not, that one can be debatable.
But again, your original point that these guys "are consensus good gets" is false.
I am moving on.
Thank you. I can't believe this has turned into another argument.
Do you not think Prunty Brubaker were consensus good players? Could’ve Brubaker have gone to Penn St or Stanford? Prunty Fr AA
currently, Shane Beamer on the recruiting trail is winning, and that is what matters.
Congrats to these young men on the recognition they're getting. Can't wait to see them in Garnet and Black!
Prunty seems like a good addition.
I don’t pretend to know whether or not Penn State was pushing for Brubaker so I can’t answer that.
Why don't you ask those posters? I have no idea what goes on in some peoples minds.
This is just my opinion but Davis will be a bust. I really don’t get the hype. He has an odd throwing release.
Absolutely! He is the same player he is in June as he was in November whether they call him a 3* or a 5*. His skill level does not change because some recruiting service changes their rating.
This is such a bad argument though. Clowney’s physical tools and ability were so impressive no one would have ever considered him a 3 star.
