How legit is PFF? They do an awful lot of work if I am to believe these rankings. So how do they make money?

I believe they have a premium subscription that is very expensive. Think it gives access to all of their info. They just share snippets on social media. I tend to think their grades are overhyped and I'm a little surprised at the clout they've earned within the industry. They've done a good job of marketing themselves, and now everyone treats their ratings like gospel, similar to KenPom.
Not bad for a true freshman.
A non-rated 18 year old that walks into a D1 program starts and does that well is crazy unique in Top Tier conferences. Rankings do matter. That said ISU does do a nice job identifying underappreciated football players thus far. But to start in a top-tier program as an unranked 18 yo has to be statistically astronomically small number.Another reason not to get too worked up over recruiting rankings. Mike had 0 other P5 offers. Was ranked the 980th overall recruit in the country. Not sure you could find 50 guys who had a better true freshman year. Just trust coach Campbell and staff.

Analytics usually work, and show bias. I never would have guessed KU had the best LB, but his numbers could be bloated due to lack of talent around him. No one else there to make the play but him scenario.
I used to be impressed when our linebackers were at the top of the conference in tackles. Now that they aren’t, I realize that those numbers were inflated because they simply had more opportunities to make tackles.Analytics usually work, and show bias.

Could be, but the Big 12 wasn't exactly a bastion of fundamental football last year.That might actually make what he did more impressive, as opposing teams would surely account for him among the first in their blocking schemes.

Dineen had opportunity aplenty.
My response was meant to complement the postI replied to. I can think of plenty of ways that more opportunities to make plays, along with a lack of talent around him, combined to make Dineen look better than he was.But those were just simple numbers, not deep analytics, as our LBs were at the top of the total tackles list for the Big 12.
