TGS COLLEGE FOOTBALL BONUS…RANKING THE RECRUITING PART I by Mark Teehan, Recruting Analyst and Chuck Sippl, TGS Senior Editor

 

 

Behind the Numbers

By utilizing a comprehensive range of sources and services to evaluate recruits, and by calculating a team’s class ranking on an aggregate, total-points basis (as opposed to an “averaged” system, which can be misleading), I believe my rankings represent a more realistic barometer of a recruiting class’s potential. Furthermore, both high school and junior college prospects are rated (some analysts do not include jucos in their evaluations). To a large degree, football is a numbers game-it is the accumulation of talent over a period of time that provides a program with the potential to flourish on a long-term basis. That being said, recruiting rankings are just an approximate gauge of a class’s future promise. There are still many future variables that cannot be calculated-injuries, grade problems, off-the-field temptations, a prospect’s passion and ability to develop, and the caliber, insight and stability of a team’s coaching staff.In my ranking system, one point is awarded for a prep All-Regional prospect, one point for a Junior College All-American; two points for a high school All-American. Bonus points are awarded for Impact (+1) and Super-Impact (+2) prospects, based on a careful evaluation of their ratings, scouting reports, and the strength of their high school or junior college programs, as well as the level of competition they faced. In my rankings for this article, the number of All-Regional prospects signed by a team includes All-American recruits, who are then listed separately, followed by any junior college All-Americans.
