Hello all, and welcome to the new week. We're currently in the thick of things in the race for the first ever recruiting title, with UCLA popping off this week signing the #2 and 3 overall recruits!

 

In any case, if you missed last week, instead of expected stars to grade the class, I have given each player a "rating" which should be an estimate of how good they will be as a Junior. This takes into account their overall and star rating for initial rating, and a theoretical progression over 2 years based on potential. This should hopefully strike a balance between high potential players who may end up really good, but only for a year or 2 vs. instant contributors with a lower ceiling. For some ballpark ranges, 5 stars are around 50-55 points, 4 stars and good 3 stars are around 40-50 and an "average" 3 star recruit is 38 or 39 points.

 

To get the overall score, just add up the players you're in solo lead for plus 40% of the stars you're in a battle for (so if you're the only name on a 4 star, a 3 star, and battling for a 5 star you get 9 expected stars) .

 

In addition, this week I am adding the number of recruits a school is involved with in red, to show how some teams are doing well because of the number of recruits they're involved on, and give a little bit of a look as to how good their "average" recruit might be.

The usual suspects remain at the top, although including number of recruits we can see that Navy is doing extremely well and should be expected to climb up the standings even further as they close out the class.

In contrast, while UCLA scored big this week, their overall class is still not quite as great, and they may have to start getting creative to get back into it for some better players.

 

Also as usual, SEC is way out in front in terms of conference averages, with the B1G and MAC following semi closely behind.
