Yahoo Sports: Rivals.com 2011 Team Recruiting Rankings

I have NO CLUE how they do their formula. Anyone else know?

Here is a link and the formula. Good luck.

Rivals Rankings Formula

Here is the team ranking formula for those interested... (please keep in mind a statistician from UC-Berkeley developed this for us).

Please note you only take the top 20 prospects in this formula, ordered by # Stars descending.

POINTS = ((N / (N + 50)) * H) + ((50 / (N + 50)) * L)

where...

H = 250 for each 5-star commit + 140 for each 4-star + 75 for each 3-star + 20 for each 2-star + 10 for each 1-star

L = 18 for each 5-star + 12 for each 4-star + 8 for each 3-star + 3 for each 2-star + 1 for each 1-star

N = a big honkin' calculation, described below

CALCULATION OF N:
10 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 1-10
9 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 11-20
etc. down to...
1 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 91-100

10 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (non-high school) ranked 1-10
9 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (non-high school) ranked 11-20
etc. down to...
6 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (non-high school) ranked 41-50

24 for each commit ranked #1 on his official position ranking
18 for each commit ranked #2-5 on his official position ranking
8 for each commit ranked 6-X on his official position ranking, where X is dependent on detail position, as listed below...

--Dual-threat QB: 25
--Pro-style QB: 25
--Running Back: 35
--All-Purpose Back: 15
--Fullback: 15
--Wide Receiver: 50
--Tight End: 20
--Offensive Tackle: 40
--Offensive Guard: 30
--Offensive Center: 10
--Defensive Tackle: 50
--Weakside Defensive End: 20
--Strongside Defensive End: 30
--Inside Linebacker: 35
--Outside Linebacker: 35
--Cornerback: 40
--Safety: 30
--Athlete: 25
--Kicker: (no points awarded for rank lower than 5th)

If the team's average stars are greater than 3, add (100 * (Avg stars -
> 3)) to N.

That speaks volumes of 1) How big recruiting has become and 2) how popular this board has become. A friend told me about it, once I came here, I wondered what took me so long. Never been on a site where even the fans of rival teams are cool. Volnation has it. Those who run this site REALLY have it together, they set the bar high for other sites. JMO.

You hit the nail on the head with this post. I am like you in how I cut my teeth over at GVX, until I got tired of not enough info, and the trolls. As far as the bar being set high for other websites...I disagree. I think the bar is set so high, that it cannot be matched. Best site on the net.PERIOD.

"Vols...

A respected poster on one of the preps sites is very close to the Boyle program. Here is what he said:

"I was told this morning by a reliable source close to coach French that as of last night Lamar would be going to Tennesee instead of UK.I sure hope my source is wrong.""

Would. Be. Awesome.

This class is going to be so sick... Tiny, Dawson, and it looks good even with Maggitt right now. Who knows, maybe Jernigan or Wright surprise us too! I can't wait

Just did a little trolling on CatPause and they have a thread up saying that word around Danville is that Lamar will be coming to UT.

Take it or leave it.

Some guy on there actually posted that he would get noticed by NFL scouts faster if he where to sign with UK...also said that helping UK end the streak was a big selling point.

Seriously?

Come to a team so you can help us end a quarter-century of misery or go to the team handing out the misery?

Is their entire fanbase delusional or what?
