Future Non-Conference Opponent Recruiting Watch

Submitted by EGD on

Somebody was going to do this sooner or later, right?  UPDATE: Unfortunately I have run out of time to work on this and was not able to prepare a composite chart; maybe when (i.e. if) I get a chance to update it.  Now with composite chart! UPDATE #2: Arkansas added

Oh, I forgot about Arkansas.  I was just using the "future schedules" page under the "Useful Stuff" tab.  That probably hasn't been updated in a while.  I'll have to add Arkansas' info; thanks for the reminder.

Edit: evidently we play Arkansas in 2018 and 2019.  A 2014 recruit who redshirts would play in the 2018 game as a senior.

It's like the FICO score of football recruiting; from the 247 website:

"247Composite Rating

The 247Composite Rating is a proprietary algorithm that compiles prospect "rankings" and "ratings" listed in the public domain by the major media recruiting services. It converts average industry ranks and ratings into a linear composite index capping at 1.0000, which indicates a consensus No. 1 prospect across all services.
The 247Composite Rating is the industry's most comprehensive and unbiased prospect ranking and is also used to generate 247Sports Team Recruiting Rankings.
 
More Details
 
All major media services share an equal percentage in the 247Composite Rating.
The composite index equally weights this percentage among the services that participate in a ranking for that specific prospect.
 
A composite strength meter, indicated by red bars, illustrates the total number of industry services that have ranked the prospect. A full strength meter indicates the prospect has been ranked by all industry services participating in the composite.
 
All industry services have a different philosophy on number of "stars" distributed with each class. The 247Composite Rating assigns stars based on an approximate average distribution of stars from the industry."

Both of us have 7 composite 4* and 2 composite 3*, but our 4* are ranked better.  Our average rank among the 4* is 151st, theirs is 165th.

Also, 247 counts Pallante, which gives us a tiny little bump.

I don't think the point of the post is to provide variety in the number of teams ranked first in a list.  Post your own list with Notre dame as the #1 team on it.  Then you won't be able to say that you have never seen "a recruiting ranking on this website that hasnt (sic) had michigan (sic)  #1."

is the home state of each of the recruits.  This is just a quibble because I think it's awesome that you did this.  I'm just a curious type, and I am interested to know if these schools recruit mostly locally or not.  I imagine Hawaii has weird recruiting so I'm off to the databases to look at that.  Well done, sir.
