I just saw this site on twitter, which ranks the recruits by the total number of offers that a recruit has and the top offers the recruit has. Your thoughts on how it compares to the recruiting services? http://rankbyoffers.wordpress.com/2014fbprospects/ |

I question the accuracy of any system that has Jalen Hurd all the way down to number 213. |

Well, in the past few days saw a kid make a commitment - with only 4 offers - Alabama, A&M, LSU and Oklahoma being 3 of the 4. Why such a low number of offers? Who knows why... Watched another kid with 4 - Michigan, Alabama and LSU being three of them - accept an offer. Why such a low number? There are several ways to sort through data - with some guidelines. #1 - the very selective schools - that limit the number of offers. Typically before an offer is made - the player and his family have visited/spent time on the campus. #2 - the less selective schools - #3 - the schools that paper the nation with offers There are various types of offers too - conditional offers tend make up the bulk of them - Then the select # of open ended offers. Those are for a select # of national types - who have few total offers for a lot of reasons (Gotta throw the Tennessee RB commit in this group) The kids can go anywhere and be a tremendous asset to a team - see above #1 if you can't get the kid to visit, whether its to a camp or unofficial visit why make an offer? Or the DE out of Virginia - IIRC his top teams included VT, UM, Alabama, & UF - watching him on film - well he could play for any team, anywhere in the college game. |

That's pretty much the type of system I use to compare recruits who are open with their recruiting ... not so much the number of offers, but the quality of offers. If a kid has offers from USC, Alabama, Florida, etc then you know he is a stud who ALSO has academics to get in ... if it is a bunch of mid-majors, then not so much. One problem with such a system is that not all recruits report their offers, and a player who is a lock to a school (and rejecting efforts from other schools) will not have many offers listed. Austin Sanders is a perfect example of that. He was Tennessee all the way and only had a Tennessee offer listed. Another problem is that two equivalent players from two different regions of the country will have vastly different offer lists simply because prospects tend to stay closer to home ... and schools tend to offer closer to their schools. A kid from Georgia will have lots of top 25 offers from SEC schools. An equivalent player from New England may have more ACC and B1G offers, and the schools in those conferences are not as highly ranked. Edited by OrangeRev, Jun 14 2013, 09:24 AM.
