Sorry 247 Sports....I want ESPN rankings

    I dont know..i guess it's really a theoretical point..obviously any good publicity doesnt hurt.., but i would be shocked if any 2014 recruit made decisions about schools even remotely based on the publicity that a school received from the previous years recruiting class... I suppose if it helped get us on a kids radar, then perhaps, but i dont think that's exclcusive to ESPN. And let's face it, if you have a top ranked class by Rivals or 247 or Scout, you are going to have a pretty highly ranked class by ESPN as well..

    I think you are correct........it gets us on the radar and gets them more familiar with us and intrigued. I want all the good pub we can get in this day and age.......and of course, winning is the best way but that will still be very difficult the next 2 years IMO.

    I'd agree with you on the publicity and all, but I like being accurate. 247 has a killer staff nationwide, not just Kevin, Wes, and Ryan. I was really impressed when 247 hired away Keith, because I thought he was one of the best guys Rivals had. That's happening a lot. I like to know what I'm getting, and it doesn't get much better than here... Especially when they start doing the scouting evaluations

    Bump!!!!!!!

    I'm sure Bell, Green, Lawson, 247 & Mussberger will get right on that if that is what you want. Why not wish for a BCS Championship while you are at it?

    Think that was a little harsh,,,,86
