Class Rankings by Player and by Site

[thebjd]

I couldn't find it anywhere so I put together a quick spreadsheet. I thought it would be interesting to see this way so I am sharing. If it is already posted or if someone has a better format my feelings will not be hurt. I included the VN rankings which should always be the highest ranking from any of the services. (Edited to include Scout)

Warrior is a 5* on scout

Desmond Henderson is 4* on scout

Come on bro. You're robbing us of points.

Warrior is a 5* on scout

I didn't include Scout. It may be worth it to drive up the VN ranking. I haven't looked at Scout in a couple of years.

 

[SmokinBob]

Redo!

Gives us an extra two stars so you better start looking at it. It boosts our VN score.

Also means we landed two 5* guys.

Here's a link to all the rankings including scout.

I was talking about this earlier and missed a couple of guys. Neihaus, Buchanan, Pope and Brooks were the only guys who were not ranked 4* or higher by at least one service. That's pretty strong.

Thanks. Multi-tasking at work today

This class is very good when you look at the individual players we signed. The VN ranking is almost a 4 and ......... ESPN loves us?

 

[YankeeVol]

Good class. 7th in the SEC

 

[FrostyDawg]

Good class. 7th in the SEC

Yes...which is not ideal. But I question if some of those higher ranked classes filled that team's needs as well as ours did for us. It is the SEC after all...not a huge talent difference overall in first 7.

Good class. 7th in the SEC

15 of our 21 recruits are rated 4 star by ESPN. If you include all sites we have 16 that are 4 star or higher (Two 5 star recruits). This is a talented group of players.

 

[BruinVol]

Where did we finish in all 4 sites overall rankings?

 

[VOLtilldeath]

I just edited the first post and included that info as well.

Do juco players count towards pts and rankings on espn and scout?

Do juco players count towards pts and rankings on espn and scout?

According to this article Scout does count them and ESPN does not. The article is old so some of our recruiting junkies may have updated info.

Also curious to know academics. UT has been very successful in terms of qualifiers. SC had a decent class last year and had a large # of casualties.

#1 rated DT and DE at the Juco level is impressive. Not sure how the services rank these.

Here's a problem: you used 247's composite in this, which is already taking all 4 into account. You should use 247's rankings.

Great info

Do you know what it is? Is it the gray number below the black number on their rankings page? 15? The math works for the composite of 15 with the 247 ranking at 14.

Yes, not ideal, but you also have to consider that everybody that is ranked ahead of us was able to sign larger classes with the exception of UGA (20) and Auburn (21).

Correct.

You can also go to each prospect's page to see 247's rating. For instance, Alexis Johnson and CFA are 3* on 247.
