Seems like some here are arguing that they have beaten App consistently in recruiting rankings. This appears to be backtracking due to results of the field not supporting that theory.

So now what you're saying is the rankings error rate is +/- 10 and everyone is the same. What a waste of time if that's your point now.

I have never bragged we beat anyone in rankings you App holes just seem to get your panties in a wad when ANY team has some good news. News flash also genius you have beaten in either class or per recruit avg twice since 2014 so I dont know where you get App has always been beaten by GS since we moved up. We have had ONE class to lane well above the top Sun Belt teams then followed it up with a crappy one so OVERALL talent still just at the top of the Belt.

If you are closer to the 70's like a lot of AAC team vs the 90's like most Sun Belt teams it shows on the field again it is not magic coach hiring why they are the top rated G5 and we are one of the lowest rated G5. Like how you stretched 90 and 95th to 10 spots also, nice one. App math got to love it. I see you are not going to ever name one team App has beaten that had a significant talent advantage because you have not.

I fully admit you have owned us it is what it is I get mad at horrible hires and our AD but why get mad at App? Just like GaSt has the last three years but NEVER have I said GS has any significant talent advantage over any of the upper Sun Belt teams. Actually have said the opposite over and over. You dont have anything but hyperbole, bad math and shoving words in somebodies mouth to try and make a point it is sad. Again there are 130 teams in the FBS and recruiting rankings look a lot like actual rankings and that is not a coincidence. And again it is not 100% but a very reliable INDICATOR on how a team will LIKLEY perform not a crystal ball....If not please explain to me if the G5 recruit rankings are garbage why does the AAC finish first every year in recruit rankings and G5 rankings and the Sun Belt does not, or the MAC or the MW for that matter just pure luck in coaching hires I guess right...

There are published actual studies done on this by folks a lot smarter than you or I take time to inform yourself instead of the record of two pretty even rivals out of 130 teams. Why didnt you beat Wake last year BTW since these rankings dont matter? Their coach that much better?

Regression analysis indicates that for teams in the SEC, the Big Ten, and the Big Twelve, 63% to 80% of a team's success in their respective conference can be attributed to successful recruiting practices. The implications that these findings have on recruiting budgets and on the path to winning on the field are presented.

This article is focused on the P5 and primarily teams that played for the national championship. It's easy to see the talent level of the top guys. Once it gets into the 2 & 3 group you can pretty much put em all in a bucket and grab one out. Dozens of coaches have told me they pay no attention to these rankings. They are not going to rely on some unknown person sitting in front of a computer screen to guide their recruiting efforts. The reality is these rankings are to sell website subscriptions just so fans can do exactly what is going on in this thread. I am amazed that so-called intelligent people get so caught up in this charade.

Yet App keeps offering those high three and four star guys anyway lol....You dont get a three star ranking by magic and certainly not one above .85 you have actually had to do something in high school, camps and on tape to get even a low three star ranking. .85 and above and you one of the best in the country and ranked at the state, national and or at your position.

I can post twenty plus more papers from PHD's and countless articles ohhhh like this one https://www.researchgate.net/publication...erformance or this one

http://journals.sagepub.com/author/Lange...Georgethat that includes the entire FBS proving you wrong yet App beats wins beating the lowest ranked conference and FCS teams mainly and they are all dumb lol.

There are literally people with PHD's proving you wrong but you still think you know more.... Honestly you keep bringing a spork to gun fight. I am sure you know how to google or maybe not...anyway please provide me with the mountain of articles and research papers from PHD's saying recruit rankings are worthless for the G5...I'll would say I would wait but I have found ONE when searching and found and endless supply the other way.

Ha Ha.. You keep posting articles written by PHD's who've never strapped on a helmet and App will keep winning games with undervalued recruits. Oh by the way, we offer those 4 star guys to get our name out there. It's been a practice of Satterfield's since he became HC. Started doing it when we were a transitional program. Do you think he actually thought we had a shot at 'em? Let's make a deal. You keep on gulping down the Kool Aid and I'll continue talking to our coaches. When you get the opportunity to visit with your new DC about all this ask him about the unique culture at App and approach to our recruiting. I'm sure he will enlighten you on some things. Also be sure to ask him about the term "App Guy" you made so much fun of. Sloan can give you the entire story, especially since he's the one who coined the phrase.

Yes the historic results change and math doesnt work if dont wear a helmet while making calculations...I mean if teams and conferences have done better and also had superior talent how does that change whether or not you played the game? SEC wins in recruiting they win the most on the field OOC typically in the P5 the AAC crushes the rest of the G5 in recruiting and year in and out they are the highest rated G5 conference....oh wait I never strapped on a helmet in college so I cant make such an obvious observation lol.
Also the majority of App wins prove my point most of Apps wins have come from teams with less or similar talent and yet to have beat any team with a significant talent advantage.App has lead the Belt in class and per recruit average since moving up its not like App has been 10th in the Belt ever.
Again why does Satt keep offering all those high three and four star guys LOL. https://247sports.com/college/appalachia...all/Offers Satt gets what he can just like the rest of the G5 and would give his right arm for Tulanes class this year. Facts dont care about your over the top fanatical hokey ass BS. Also Sloan is saying how glad he is here now and is amazed at the facilities sounds like he would have walked here to take the job.

App guy lol=a recruit that likley did not get a P5 offer
