2021 Class Rankings

[tnvolfan65]

Using the consensus rankings of ESPN, Prospects Nation, ASGR, and Blue Star (posted somewhere a couple months ago on this board), I assign numerical values to recruits that I can then plug into a formula for class rankings. Formula is highest ranking player * 6 + 2nd highest ranking player * 3 + 3rd highest ranking player * 1.5 + each additional recruit. I also have a bonus system that rewards multiple high ranking players (helps with ties as well). In the case of a tie, the tiebreaker is highest ranking player.

I'm sure this will shift a bit when the rankings are updated/expanded (looking at you Prospects Nation!) but as of 7/2/20. And for those on this board interested, if Uconn were to land Fudd--they would jump to number one.

Nice work. Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to updates as the remaining 2021 kids make their choices.

Thanks for this. I'm one of those folks that if you give a little bit of knowledge, it could lead to a lot of directions. So, I'm a bit unsure of what truly constitutes "good" here: a player's composite ranking; who those players are; and -- to some degree -- the number that you've recruited. Since you have a 1.5 for a third highest ranking recruit, I assume schools with only two commits thus far (ND, Stanford, Oregon State, Louisville, etc.) are somewhat behind.

Any insight is a appreciated. Thanks.

Outstanding work!

Do you have the composite ratings/ranking of the individual prospects in a spreadsheet. It would be wonderful if you could post those below so we can all play "what if."

If you can't just cut and paste all the rankings, could you give us the top ten or so?

Just to piggy back @Dillon77 post. I took your first 4 ranking columns and just added them together and come up with "highest score" (see attached image). In your case adding/Sum each school does not "sort" from highest to lowest and I'm sure this is because of your system. Based on the highest totals I re-sorted schools to reflect, with my "system" not really a system just totals. South Carolina and UConn are still 1st and 2nd but all others are different order. If UConn gets another recruit with a ranking of 75 it would be tied with South Carolina.

Why would, let's say Notre Dame with only 2 recruits and 170 points (my system) be above schools that have 3 or 4 recruits coming in for 2020-21? Is my logic flawed? Just throwing more fuel to the fire.

I guess the other question is how you rate an international prospect such as Bosgana who just committed to Stanford. Does Stanford leapfrog a couple of teams as we wait in hope of two dream commits?
