How are these rankings weighted? 8 4 and 3 star commits is better than 2 5 star.
Where do any of Michigan’s commits have 3-star rankings? I haven’t seen that anywhere.
So, in your book, an unrated is worthless? Got it. Makes sense.
I would say those that are currently unrated for Michigan are likely 3-star prospects, with the exception of Stephen and Jeremy, which are likely fringe 4-star.
It’s not worthless, but what do we know about these guys? Sure, we can speculate on where they’ll be ranked, but this isn’t the place to do that. That’s what Michigan-specific recruiting info is for. They could all end up as 1-star recruits to the sites that matter. Would I rather take 20 of myself or 1 legit 5-star in a recruiting class? Obviously the elite talent.
Everything will work itself out when the players are ranked, calm down.
