Michigan Mailbag Question: Recruiting Rankings

ld, but they generate more "points" to rank their teams higher. This indicates quantity more than quality.

The best thing to do is not get all excited if your team drops a few spots or is higher in a few spots. Take them all, throw them together, and then rank them yourself. The thing is as fans, they always want their recruits to be the elite kids and if they are those elite (five-star kids), they will beat on their chest and say how great the recruiting services got them right. If their team gets a bunch of (three-star kids) they will say the recruiting services got them wrong and will be big-time sleepers and that the recruiting services do not know what they are doing. In some ways that is what makes it fun, but it also makes it tiring to follow when there is so much difference in the rankings and how some of the fans react to the rankings.

To see my blog page, please visit http://gobluemichiganwolverine.blogspot.com/, and look for the football practice reports, Michigan Stadium pictures, practice video, and football tidbits not found here.

Also, make sure to sign up for the daily e-mails on other articles not covered here.

We mostly cover Michigan football, basketball, recruiting, hockey, baseball, and softball, and have video of recruits along with recruiting lists that Michigan is looking at now.

We also have television show reminders that cover the University of Michigan.
