I’ve noticed some talk elsewhere about star inflation at Rivals and 247. I’ve been having trouble getting previous year data online and I can’t seem to find some of the info I collected over the years on this issue, but inflation appears to be almost out of control on 247 while Rivals is a little more reticent to “fudge” the numbers for their fan base. Anyway, to date, roughly 90% of P5 commitments have received 3 stars or more from Rivals. For 247, the similar number is over 99%. For G-5 commitments, only 31% have received 3+ stars from Rivals and 78% have the same rating from 247. More than half of those commitments not receiving 3+ stars have not been rated so the percentages would be even higher in each case. Of course, future commitments may have different ratings and the percentages may go up or down by February signing. We’ll see.
Anyway, that we are 9/16 (56%) from Rivals and 16/16 (100%) from 247 suggest that, at least to date, we are doing significantly better than the average G5 school and not that terribly far behind the average P5 school. Need to keep it up.
