Re: Colt Lyerla is a 5 Star!
It's kind of odd the way Rivals awards stars since they have some 4* recruits rated above Lyerla, who's a 5* player. Wouldn't it make more sense to either make everyone above him also a 5* or just move those that are 4* below the 5* players?

Re: Colt Lyerla is a 5 Star!
Does anyone know why B.J. Kelly is ranked so low 125 WR on scout, with his speed and size? I know he wants to be a Duck and I like that, but apparently the coaches have had some concern in that they have gone after more higher ranked WR as well. For that matter also why is Marriotta is ranked relatively low with his measurable arm strength and speed.

Re: Colt Lyerla is a 5 Star!
I've been wondering for a while how an athlete as gifted as Lyeria wasn't a 5 star prospect, looks like Rivals fixed that.

Going to miss the Maehl Man

Scout hasn't done any rerankings so they are not very up-to-date on players.soduck wrote:Does anyone know why B.J. Kelly is ranked so low 125 WR on scout, with his speed and size?

Re: Colt Lyerla is a 5 Star!
I've always thought BJ should be a Duck because he sounds like he not only wants to be one but he looks like great receiver! Talented players that want to be with our team should always get a good look...YES/NO? There are a few out there playing for other teams that we were their dream school and we passed on them...and that bothers the hell out of me!soduck wrote:Does anyone know why B.J.

Be glad that coached evaluate these players because these sites are all over the place, as far as rankings, and they will get the best players they can so don't worry about stars or rankings but how they preform on the field when they become Ducks.
Stars and ranking IMO are for people like us tho have something to gauge these players talents on and for bragging rights...which is fine too!
GO DUCKS!! WTD!

I think Kelley could shine in this offense, but wow, are some of these kids skinny!

Not to rain on the parade, but who cares? This matters just barely more than zero. Colt, Tra, and Wallace are still exactly the same players. I mean, hooray I guess, but I don't see how this qualifies as great news.

Re: Colt Lyerla is a 5 Star!
I think it is funny. The people most likely to get all giddy over the news seem to be those who are most quick to state that stars don't matter when we are whiffing on the big time recruits.Tray Dub wrote:Not to rain on the parade, but who cares?

In other words, if we get a verbal from a four-star player who soon thereafter becomes a five-star player, all of a sudden he is better?

Re: Colt Lyerla is a 5 Star!
It matters because it gives attention to our program. Also other players look at this to gauge other teams talent. And its just fun IMO.

Changes that I noticed
Anthony Wallace: 5 stars -----> 4 stars
Tra Carson 3 stars ------> 4 stars
Tacoi Sumler 4 stars -----> 3 stars
Sam Kamp 3 stars -----> 2 stars
For Washington:
Kasen Williams 4 stars -----> 5 stars
Austin Seferian-Jenkins 4 stars -----> 5 stars
Fetters must be proud of himself. Seferian-Jenkins is a stud and definitely worthy of the bump. Kasen Williams has talent, but he's kind of slow for a receiver. Definitely not a 5 star player. Congratulations to the newest member of Fetters' "Northwest All Stars".

As usual, Fetters has made a mockery of UW's commits from the NW.

Re: Colt Lyerla is a 5 Star!
I can see why Kamp and Sumler got moved down. Kamp was out almost all season with an injury and Sumler didn't exactly post the best numbers this season. That doesn't mean they aren't talented as they had a high ranking for a reason.uostudent wrote:Actually they just did today.greenyellow wrote:Scout hasn't done any rerankings so they are not very up-to-date on players.soduck wrote:Does anyone know why B.J.

Some people say Fetters doesn't have the final say on the ratings but he does have a Huge influence on who does.nerickso wrote:As usual, Fetters has made a mockery of UW's commits from the NW.

Shocked that Shelton didn't go up although that would have been too obvious.
