Recruiting Ratings
The recruiting chart presented below is a 4 year composit of ESPN’s, 247’s, & Rivals’ respective scoring systems.
The recruiting classes used were 2016 – 2019.
We took each site and calculated a 4 year team average specific to that site’s criteria.
So the number listed under Rivals was arrived at independently of ESPN’s or 247’s process.
We repeated this process for the other 2 site’s (ESPN & 247).
We then took the three independent scores and calculated a three site / four year average.
Please note, the teams listed below are Power 5 teams, with BYU & ND included in the count!
