    On3 was founded by the same person who co-founded Rivals and founded 247, so I'm not sure why any of the 3 would be more "legit" than the others. I'm sure they are just trying to serve the markets where they make their most money.

    with Castell - guess I should say IF…castell comity to UF tomorrow I think we move to 12. Personally, I think we only get the 3 commits (for 2023) that everyone was expecting this weekend and maybe Sorey. Tons of posters and bloggers on several sites have been pumping out material about flips from major recruits and other 2023 kids jumping on board this weekend during FNL. I’m not as optimistic.

    9.2 seems to be our sweet spot. Mizzel is a bit better,

    The bias thing doesn't exist. The evaluation process is too fluid and the prospects are too mercurial for this to be a factor. Note that Mizell has been a Gator lean all along and his rating and ranking have continued to climb. Stokes and Whittemore both jumped from three to four stars after committing to UF. 'Splain that! Some of you sound like middle-schoolers whose girlfriends looked at another guy.

    Some of them may have been more detailed with their evaluations, more personnel looking at vids. Other may have better connections with high school coaches, players, players' parents. On3 seems like they're still finding their way. They might not have the support staff that the other services have. The cycles only half way over. Let's see who gets it right in the end.

    I have noticed though that the guys that committed to us are substantially higher rated by on three. 247 and rivals have them much lower. Mizzell is different but he’s an outlier

    That's partly why I'm suspicious of On3. Too much of an outlier with their rankings and they're often off the mark with their predictions.

    Just happy the commits keep rolling in, never been too concerned about Napier one bit. He will hold them accountable and get it on track.

    So we now have Patterson, Creed, EWIII, and Mizell, and looking good with Jean and Sorey? I think more than 4 would be kind of an unbalanced class, though you always try to take good players that want to come. Seems coaches are still recruiting Jean and Sorey, since Sorey could be a safety and Jean might replace Patterson if he decides to switch to UCF for better playing chances.

    Not saying I disagree, but wasn't there some pretty fishy business at the end of last cycle with our highest commits, I think Kamari, Moore and Shemar, where they had shined in their all american games and dropped below guys that didn't do well? Kamari losing his 5th star as well.
    Might be it was just "us" feeling targeted, but it felt deliberate to our top commits only after they committed, shined, and no additional camps or activities had gone on to justify it. Hence the "florida negative bump" joke if we're favored for someone lol.
    I do agree it couldn't and doesn't happen all the time, but right at the end, to our top rated committed guys, seemed a "let's send a message to UF recruits and not let UF rise again" thing.

    Maybe they just have their own opinions instead of going with the flow. Rivals and 247 have their fair share of being way off the mark. It just seems they go with the flow as to not miss all by themselves. If the top schoools go hard, the services almost always raise the rankings. I don’t think they have new evaluations , they just figure the coaches know better than the desk jockeys. Most of those guys doing those rankings have never actually seen the kids they are evaluating play a single down.

    Rivals has always seemed to rank UF lower than the other ranking ‘services’. I’ve often wondered if there’s something behind that
