Hey Chris, I'm not trying to be facetious, but why is this kid only rated a 3 star player? Seems like players are rated higher until they commit to Tulsa. Any truth to that, or am I way off?6-foot-4, 330 pound Broken Arrow (OK) lineman Rowdy Frederick committed to Tulsa in early August. Check out these senior-season highlights of the 3-star prospect.

Rivals 're-did' their recruit rankings a year or two ago. Now if you don't have a ton of P5 offers you aren't going to get many stars.Hey Chris, I'm not trying to be facetious, but why is this kid only rated a 3 star player?

No, there isn't any truth to that. I've seen plenty of kids go up in the rankings and gain a star after they committed to Tulsa. I've seen kids commit to OU and later lose a star. There's a lot that goes into Rivals rankings...it's not just about who has offered and who they commit to.Hey Chris, I'm not trying to be facetious, but why is this kid only rated a 3 star player?

Actually, Rivals restructured their recruiting rankings about 3 or 4 years ago, and it simply made fewer 3, 4 and 5 star prospects. The main hit was to 3-star prospects, as that pool had become saturated and really did not differentiate enough between 2 and 3 star talent. So that's why you saw TU signing a lot fewer 3-star prospects all of the sudden a few years back. I've posted about this numerous times.Rivals 're-did' their recruit rankings a year or two ago.

I know we're talking football here and I don't follow either service in that sport. Actually, I really don't in basketball either, because they both don't have anything close to accurate data on Tulsa. 247 has us with 2 BB commits, Henderson and Atson. Scout has us with 3, Darrell Brown, Atson and Korita. 247 had McDowell committed to us months after he decommited and now Scout still has Brown committed. Neither have Igbanu. We are extremely fortunate to have someone in Chris, who is always spot on--in both sports.
Rivals hasn't used a 1-star ranking for a very long time. The theory is that if you are good enough to earn a Div-1 scholarship, you are at least a 2-star prospect.What happened to One Star?
I like the big Blue star on the Cowboys helmet.
Yes!!! Got it once.Anyone remember "Red Star Eats Free" at Crosstown Grill?
