Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 2243288, member: 6911"] The practice of simply adding up the number of ranked recruits signed to rank recruiting classes is silly. It counts a national player of the year as no more important than a #40 recruit. What these ranking services should do is weight the recruits. For example, give 20 points to a POY, 10 points to a 2nd through 5th recruit. 5 points for #6 through #15. And 1 point for recruits ranked #16 through 30. Something like that. Doing so would highlight the recruiting classes with the most talented individual player, and also give weight to players who are considered vastly more talented than the rest. Would also give some weight to better, but undifferentiated players in the second tier. If that were the metric, Connecticut would be ranked far higher in most years than they usually are. [/QUOTE]
