I believe Barber also dropped. He was a composite 3* when he committed and is now a 2*.

Thats because he was unevaluated on Scout and when they gave him a 2 star ranking, it dropped his composite. Scout or 247 themselves didn't lower him in their own rankings.

Was CC ever a 4-star on Rivals? 3-star now.

I don't think so.

Hmm. Well as others have pointed out, thanks to Kill & Co. we can all stop our incessant star-gazing. Means next to nothing for this staff.

No but he is the #1 three star OLB. He is #24 and #23 is a 4 star.

So what you are saying is that he is really good, and we beat out the two teams who just competed in the title game for his commitment? Got it.

Wrong.
4-Star = Really Good.
3-Star = Just Good.

Nah I'd say 4 star is good and 3 star is just average.

So what you're saying is....we're doomed!

Not at all. If he stays at 3-stars we are doomed, but if they bump him to 4-stars we will be ok. That simple.

I must not be able to see sarcasm icons. To me, Jerry Kill and a 2* equals star player.

 

[Dr.Don]

I am a 5*. I compare everyone to me.


If I was 55 years younger, I would be on Kill's radar.

And I did not throw a tight spiral.

Doc we know you would've gotten the coveted brown star ranking

It depends on D1 offers. If they have D1 offers they will be a star. Especially if they have the highly coveted Western Michigan offer. Otherwise they will be terrible no matter how many stars. Unless they committed right away, in which case they have no offers because the school was intimidated by the commitment to us. The exception is of course if they have high stars and committed to us, then stars matter. Of course when they drop the star ratings for the player who commits to us because of conspiracy, the star ratings no longer matter again. It's complicated. You need a doctorate in astrology to fully understand it all.

Kegel is at Oklahoma State this weekend per his 247 timeline. I think he will make a decision in the next week or two and this could be his last visit.

That pretty much takes the mystery out of it.

Is Kegel going to be the one that got away? JD Spielman?

Speilman is more likely than Kegel or Johnson.

I guess in theory Sid could be close if Edwards, Spielman, Kegel, and some other mystery person committed immediately and for the most part unexpectedly. So I mean, he's probably right on it

 

[BleedGopher]

per Shooter:

The Gophers are interested in St. Michael-Albertville wideout Isaiah Weston, who on Saturday had a lengthy meeting with coach Jerry Kill. Minnesota plans to sign two wideouts for its 2016 class.

The most accurate explanation ever of how recruiting / star ratings are viewed on GHole.

I believe it would be Albert Okwuegbunam the TE from Illinois. He'd be a very good get and has an impressive offer list. He's the only TE we're pursuing and it seems we pick one or two each year.

He's a HS teammate of Quinn Oseland at Sacred Heart (new Gopher pipeline?).

He had an unofficial visit with the Gophers on April 11.
