Weird, because they list him at 232 on his player page on 247

The information is probably dated. Dorsey was on Twitter saying that the weight listed on his 247 page needed to updated from 205 lbs to 220 lbs.

As we climb our way up the recruiting class ladder, I have a question for those of you who know more than me. For the teams in the CFP, where can i found their class rankings over the last 4-5 years. Really I'm interested in seeing if there's an outlier in recruiting classes over that time period where coaching literally made the difference (what we're hoping for to get early success), or if they all had top 10 classes every year for 5 years and they were gonna get that far as long as they didn't shoot themselves in the foot.

247 has team rankings for each class you could look at to figure it out

Rivals has the longest history. I think their historical class rankings are better. It doesn't sort as well but the information is better. 247 has a history of doing a Chad Ford and modifying their numbers afterwords and moving players up and down the board based on production

Good info, thanks. Those 2 DTs are the type of kids that will vault us to the top of the BIG West. Really hope that staying close to home is important. 2018 could be a monumental class.

Hopefully Miznoz stays down as well.

Yes, but, with players of this caliber, Miznoz is the tip of the iceberg. If we can land one of these DTs, would be a huge statement. Fortuitous timing w/Mizzou though, no doubt.

I think Lovie's celebrity and character and ability trump a lot. Plus Mizzou has a racism problem that has been boiling at the surface for some time. Wisconsin has a similar problem and so too do several of the Big Schools. I think Lovie and his demeanor and character Will finesse us through a lot of the craziness that is boiling at the surface.
