2019 *** 2019 Recruiting ***

[StPaulHusker]

Each individual player is worth a certain amount of points to the team to which they are committed.  So it's possible to have one fewer commit and the same number of 4 stars and same average but have more total points

Still 22nd after Wandale?

Yes.  Now only 1.5 points behind South Carolina

Yes ... somehow.

 

That is per the 247 Composite.  On 247's own rankings, we are #16.  On Rivals we are #17.  On ESPN we are #22.  But somehow that still ends up with us at #22 in the Composite.

We have 1 more 3 star recruit than they do do which would bring down the average per recruit for us.  Also, 24/7 is a bit different from other services because they go by the star rating but then also assign individual ratings to the recruit.  So even though the stars might be the same, there might be a 90.10 4 star versus a 89.75 4 star (just an example).

 

The average rating for both is .8805.

I can't remember where I posted it but I made a fairly lengthy post regarding college football national championship games and their correlation to recruiting rankings.  It basically showed from 1998-last year, only 4 teams competed for a NC or made the CFP final 4 with a 4 year average recruiting ranking lower than 15.

 

Oregon twice.  Michigan St.  Washington

 

This year, the four teams competing in the CFP have a 4 year average of:

 

Alabama: 2

Clemson: 11

Notre Dame: 12

Oklahoma: 13

 

 

 

(This was figured using 247 composite rankings from 2015-2018)

Damn. 16th. 

 

Any chance we finish there, or a little higher? 

 

(I follow the commitments, but not really the rankings).

that's the average per recruit, the rankings on the 24/7 site aren't ranked by average- its the composite score.

Also, you can pull up the calculator and even add players for any school.  Below are the links to both Nebraska and Miss St.  While the average might be the same throughout the whole class, the individual ratings differ.  For instance, the top 2 miss st recruits are rated higher than our top recruit.  Which would lead me to believe they are a bit more top heavy and we have more guys in the same range- so while our average is the same, I'm sure the composite ranking is favorable to higher individual player ratings.

 

At the end of the day there's a million ways to calculate this and  I feel like I'm back in a crappy stats class trying to make sense of it.  Moral of the story is we swooped the #2 all purposes back recruit in the country, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

So.....one thing Frost has said is that right now we don’t have the speedy downfield threat he wants in his offense. 

 

Who of our commits fits that position?

I think Nance fits that bill and also probably Chase to some extent.

Really?  I see people thinking he's going to go between WR and RB and play the Duck-R position...etc.  I guess I didn't think that would be the speedy down field threat guy.

He looks really fast in his videos - out running guys with an angle.
