He could have been more subtle and gone with Dr. Teeth.

In fairness... Harbaugh and pretty much everyone in the SEC does this on a regular basis. They don't get raked over the coals because they are semipro teams trying to win a National Championship and kids should be in buyers beware mode. SImilarly, the media doesn't freak out about the "commitment" from someone like Pinnock who was "committed" to BC until he wasn't. UConn is an easy target of fake outrage because they suck and will continue to suck regardless if they have a terrible recruit on the roster or not. But, the real problem here is not what HCRE did... but the media selectivity of a terrible media.

He might not, from what I was told.

About as shocking as Kwity Paye jumping 600 spots in their rankings pre- and post- Michigan commitment. When Rivals was pretty much the only shop around, they seemed to do the rankings in a considered/deliberate manner. As competition crept into the space, it is now nothing but an exercise in Facebook "likes" and appeasing the fanbases most willing to pay for information.

perfectly worded HJS, +5
it frustrates me that these ratings agencies (that hand out stars) are as unaccountable as Moody's and Standard and Poor's when they hand out their bond ratings for MBS. They are a just a "ratings shop", giving ratings based on who is paying them the most money. These rankings should be based on entirely objective measurements of math, statistics, and spreadsheets, not subjective rankings based on popularity and money. But it is what it is....

no one should be surprised that your knowledge of the rating process is horribly simplified an wrong. stick to pork chops, ic (impacted colon)

so that scene at S&P in The Big Short was a lie? That was just a total lie? Things like that didn't happen with the ratings agencies? All the quotes that I could pull from Richard Michalek and Gary Witt to the FCIC, all lies on their part?

TRE, do me a favor a write a check to bump Dillon back to a 4*. Thanks in advance.

Human beings are not machines. They do not behave predictably from one to another. When are you going to realize this?
I'm a CS guy, too, and life would be a hell of a lot easier (and a lot more boring) if there was a Turing machine for "human," but that ain't life.

Human beings ARE machines. Yes you are right, they do not behave predictably from one to another. That is because the machines are not all the same, do not think the same, and do not all operate (consistently) the same. That is why they bother to rate the players, to discriminate one from another. When are you going to realize this?
I don't want life to be a Turing machine, but if you are going to bother to rate things (kind of like giving a student a grade) if you don't do it based on mathematics and some objective measurement, then what the hell are you doing? You are doing no different than what s&p, Fitch, and Moody's did.
