Rivals updated recruits

Here is the answer. The 247 composites have to be manually updated. So Rivals has updated their ratings but 247 hasn't gotten around to doing it yet.

But it's not. It's usually based off of offer sheets. Which I personally value very much. It doesn't matter if they are teetering on a high 2-star or a lowly 3-star. It's safe to say that another FBS offer will propel a borderline 2-star into a 3-star as it should. We are getting upset that our 0 offer player or 2 offer player is jumping back and forth from 3 to 2 and 2 to 3. A 2 offer guy is usually a high 2-star player. So if he gets up to 3 stars, great. If he doesn't, he's where he probably belongs anyway. And thanks to @BillySee58 offer system that he put together, it makes it that much more reliable. Also, through the last 2 or 3 years @BillySee58 has been coming on here and dropping where the players in his system stack up after playing on the field and it's usually deadly accurate. It's splitting hairs, yes. But, this game thrives on the splitting of hairs. We need to have guys with 2-4 offers (which in his system is a B+ player I believe) littered throughout our classes. That is the way to build this thing.

It's always scary when we are the only FBS school to offer. Big question marks.

UTSA leads CUSA for now with 14 commits averaging 5.5 offers from other schools. (most are FBS) (no JUCOs)

At the moment, we're 5th in CUSA, but 11th of the 12 Texas FBS schools. Recruiting has always been our Achilles heel.

Yes. These are the facts of the matter. We can try to rub elbows with these services to get us a boost all day long. But it's not going to get other FBS staffs to offer. When or if other FBS staffs start offering our commits, they will get their rightful boost faster than anything we can do. Simplest path of resistance with the system we as a fan base tries to argue with, is to win recruiting battles vs our peers on a semi-regular to regular basis. That is the recipe, or the bag of magic beans, or the sorcerers rock.
