Early odds on Josh Pate weighing in on Kendrick vs Drake tonight?

When the Mavs interviewed Jalen Brunson at the Combine, they asked him if we drafted you while we already have Dennis Smith, how would you go about getting minutes?

NIL deal idea:

A college program should offer a top prospect naming rights to their stadium for one season.

So instead of giving a prospect $2 mil, offer him $1 mil & name the stadium after him for a season. Cost is the same & prospect gets exposure worth far more than that.

Excited about Mike Roach remaining w 247Sports for the foreseeable future. He’s a giant part of the most talented and hard working staff I’ve ever been around. He’s just scratching the surface on his potential in the industry and, more significantly, he’s a phenomenal person.

Biggest free agency news of the cycle…

Deja vu

Well said, Greg Gard. 👏

The demonization of athletes who factor in money in school selection is pathetic.

Yes, a college degree in the long run is valuable but cash upfront is king.

People bristle at college players referred to as “labor,” but NCAA knew it was a labor force from beginning & thus coined term “student-athlete” to create the amateurism scam in order to avoid paying disability.

We know bc 1st NCAA exec dir Walter Byers wrote about it w regret.

Just last week critics told me we overrated Arch Manning bc of his name.

This is why I take pride in our thorough, unbiased scouting team. We’ll have misses & miscalculations, but I believe being process-oriented & aiming for accuracy over clicks equals success in the long run.

Don’t think we needed a study for this

Jeremiah Smith is the highest-rated receiver in 247Sports history — a viral sensation on social media and a legend in South Florida's social circles. This spring, #Buckeyes coach Ryan Day had to stop praising the freshman's jaw-dropping catches.

'I'm gonna be careful what I say…

Really fascinating read. Did not realize that the star system was based around pro projection as much as college projection.

I hear this a lot & it’s a common misconception. This was probably a valid concern a few years ago, but our 247Sports evaluators take great pride in generating the best ranking possible. The team is judged on accuracy, not what a powerful coach wants.

At 247Sports we have excellent evaluators & we’ve taken major strides to eliminate bias.

I’m often asked what the rankings mean, how we approach the process & why our rankings are the industry standard. This explainer goes in depth on all of that: 247sports.com/article/247spo…
