Should ESPN rankings be dropped from AB profiles?

[Buffnik]

Serious question. I don't know how I can take ESPN seriously or treat them as legitimate if this is the guy in charge (Luginbill is National Recruiting Director). Plus, they're consistently evaluated as the most inaccurate every year. They're also frustratingly slow, so it's questionable whether they even have a scouting department that goes deeper than SEC recruits.

I’ve never paid them any mind. I’m surprised 247 even considers them in the composite. Rivals is even a stretch but ESPN is just objectively worthless

I love the negativity from the national media. Keep it coming.

Travis Hunter has the correct response. For example, his reaction to Oregon Dan Lanning’s comments few weeks ago when Colorado departed the PAC:

What coach Dan Lanning is saying… that’s a very good guy. He recruited me at Georgia when he was there, so I like him,” Hunter said in the video. “Like he said, we didn’t win anything, so right now we’re the underdogs. And we’ve got to take over no matter what they say. We’ve just got to go out there and make them eat their words. He’s not saying anything bad, he’s just saying that we didn’t win anything, and it’s like, yea we know that we didn’t win anything. But we comin’.”

ESPN is really only worth about the top 100-200. After that they are completely worthless and even then, they are pretty worthless.

Crazy how ESPN says that about our talent on the same day that 247s drops the data showing that CU is the 35th most talented roster in the nation this year. It's almost like there's an agenda.
