Huskinator Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Looking at 247... Hope that we don't have a problem with OT right now. A swing and a miss at both of them could be scary Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 God dammit everyone shut up and get back on the topic of where this class will be ranked.If I had to pick right now I'd say 24-27. Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Who do you guys use as your most reliable recruiting site of rankings? I tend to always use Rivals. Not sure why? based off Rivals I see us finishing anywhere from 19-24. I will be happy with a top 20 class. In fact, a top 20 class after everything Nebraska has gone through this past season would be enough to get me excited. Quote Link to comment

Each site has their own biases and quirks. The composite combines them all together to hopefully take some of that out. 2 Quote Link to comment
Redder Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Exactly a week till the big day and ranked outside the top 30. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Exactly a week till the big day and ranked outside the top 30. It's actually 8 days, but..... Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Interesting tweet I saw from last night, read something like this: Once all is said and done, there will be little wiggle room between 15-25 ranked recruiting classes. Quote Link to comment

There never is. Right now on 247 composite, the average player rating is: 15th team = .8753 25th team = .8718 Those teams have anywhere from 17 to 22 players. There is no way in hell anyone is going to convince me that the 15th rated class is head and shoulders better than the 25th rated class. Quote Link to comment

That's a good sign then if we can get into that group. I still believe that with this coaching staff in place and recruiting classes in the top 25 we will be back in the top 10 within the next 3 years. This staff is going to develop kids.

BigRedBuster Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Just tot take it a step farther and looking at last year since those classes are all complete. 15th team .8908 16th team .8713 25th team .8642 The 15th team was slightly higher but right away the 16th team's average rating was right back down close to the 25th.

I think once you're in the range then you'd probably strive to be the team with more recruits factored into that average. 22 recruits of that quality vs 17 recruits of that quality = better team depth for the team with 22. Of course there are roster limits (kind of). Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 So I just calculated an average score for the final team scores 2011-2015 on the 247 composite. This is what I got: rank 10: 267 rank 15: 252 rank 20: 240 rank 25: 228 rank 30: 213 you can use the class calculator on 247 to get a projected final class score based on adding or subtracting recruits. Then compare it against my averages above will give you a rough idea of where we might end up. of course the scores for each rank fluctuate every year, but if you are bored give it a try.
