I answered your question in my previous post. My basic argument is that a recruit's ranking is determined by the number of high-profile programs that offer them. That's why I'm saying that a causal relationship exists between the success of the programs making offers and the recruits receiving those offers. Most analysts will bump a kid's rating when top-ten teams offer them.

The article below shows that the top ten recruiting classes of 2016 were re-ranked after three years and only five remained in the top ten.

The recruiting rankings are inaccurate when there is an attrition rate of 40% or more. Some eighteen-year-old kids peak in high school and others continue to develop. Dennis Rodman and Scott Pippen are two examples of guys who had HUGE growth spurts after hs graduation.

Recruiting Rankings are BS - 2015 VA TOP HS FB Recruits -- Flanker 12/12/2021 6:51PM

So why do the teams that dominate the field also dominate the rankings? ** -- Techsupport 12/13/2021 12:29PM

Causal relationship between ranking of teams offering and recruit's ranking -- Flanker 12/13/2021 1:48PM

So Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State etc have a monopoly on talent ID? -- Techsupport 12/13/2021 2:20PM

To me this article defends recruiting rankings -- Seikoh_04 12/13/2021 3:43PM

It's funny that we both come to different conclusions from same data -- Flanker 12/13/2021 4:43PM

One thing for sure -- Seikoh_04 12/13/2021 5:01PM

Would you expect VT to be much better after 4 straight top 10 classes? ** -- Techsupport 12/13/2021 3:33PM

It would depend on coaching, schemes, schedule, s&c and other factors -- Flanker 12/13/2021 4:35PM

Nope. All things being equal.. -- Techsupport 12/13/2021 6:31PM

No improvement whatsoever. Fuente would drive them all off to the portal! -- Flanker 12/13/2021 7:24PM

Good research, but I disagree with your premise -- WRXHokie 12/13/2021 08:22AM

Five stars have better odds but not necessarily four stars -- Flanker 12/13/2021 2:09PM

Alabama has pulled more 5* kids from Florida than UF, FSU, and UM combined -- lchoro 12/12/2021 10:03PM

Excuse me there is a word dmv -- Mercury 12/13/2021 07:41AM

Why do you include DC? not exactly a hotbed for D1 football recruits ** -- whatIpostlike 12/13/2021 2:40PM

I believe DMV is more of a term for the whole DC metropolitan area -- Flanker 12/13/2021 3:06PM

Department of Motor Vehicles ** -- DGHOKIE 12/13/2021 09:48AM

Five stars are nice but there aren't that many -- Flanker 12/12/2021 11:14PM

What coach pry brings to Virginia tech in recruiting will be interesting -- Hokie1992 12/13/2021 05:42AM

Good effort on the research -- Seikoh_04 12/12/2021 9:44PM

My past research showed a roughly 60% contribution rate of 3 & 4 star guys -- Flanker 12/12/2021 10:53PM

The harder thing to put a finger on is -- Seikoh_04 12/13/2021 09:00AM

To Add -- Seikoh_04 12/13/2021 09:05AM
