Got it... so here is what I have learned on Tilmon:

Verbal Commits - 17
ESPN - 28
Scout - 10
Rivals - 16
247 - 14

Average = 17. Obviously that is subject to change and also depends on what other recruit's averages are. But he'd top the list as of this moment...

247 composite should be similar to RSCI as they claim it does the same thing

Has there ever been a situation where a team had 2 sets of brothers playing with one another? I would like to see that happen MF/TF and JCL/ICL.

Yes. University of Kentucky in 1891. Billy and Randall McCoy were twins. William and Ephraim Hatfield were 2 years apart. Hopefully, we would have different results. See, Billy got with Ephraims girl at one point. Ephraim beat up Billy and had to transfer to West Virginia. Their families took it a bit further and decided to start shooting each other. Hatfield and McCoy feud started right there. Transfers were invented at the same time. I couldn't remember where they transferred to. Wikipedia helped me flesh out the details.

My wife's Mom's family is related to one of those two clans.
And my father in law sells explosives for a living. So I try to be good.

Marcus Griffin was a McDonald's All American. Sergio Mclain was Mr. Basketball in Illinois for the same year but was not a McDonald's All American. I'm sure they have to look at positions and how each player fits on the roster, regardless of their ranking.

A lot (a REAL lot) has to do with where a kid is going.

Can today be as exciting as yesterday please? Slow day at work. Not much worth of jamming the F5 button today though.

That's not a bad process at all. Trusting the offers, more times than not, in sure will yield better results. There's always going to be a couple low ranked kids with minimal offers who explode into the college scene and everyone will blame the coach for missing that eval and all that blah blah. Then everyone uses that example as a reason to argue every kid they think has potential but has minimal offers and is unranked.

Of course. I think where people get hung up is on understanding what prospect rankings really are. A kid with a consensus "5 Star" ranking isn't guaranteed to be successful in college, but "5 Star" kids have a much higher probability of success in college than "2 Star" kids do.
