I'd be interested to see someone attempt to make up a composite ranking based strictly on offers. There will be a tremendous variability in that given that some guys commit early, some don't report all offers, some over-report offers, etc BUT I think it would sort out a lot of those 3*-4* guys. I think of people like the 4* QB who went to EMU with only 2 other MAC offers versus all the three stars out there with Michigan, OSU, ND and Bama offers

Basically, I think it'd be interesting just because some guys would sky rocket and offer guys would plummet and it would probably be justified in many cases

Leaders And Best

1. Did the major instate schools offer? How many?

2. Number of regional major conference offers. For example, how many Big Ten (+ND) offers a prospect in the state of Michigan had.  Prospects are more likely to have been evaluated by nearby schools or attended their camps. Also, it is less likely to have the noncommittable offers the closer a prospect is. Michigan takes a lot more time evaluating Midwest and instate prospects because those prospects are more likely to commit upon being offered.

3. Number of offers from national powers. Defining this is debatable, but you could make a cutoff for the top 16 winningest programs (Michigan, ND, Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio State, Alabama, USC, Nebraska, Tennessee, FSU, Penn St, LSU, Georgia, Miami (FL), Auburn, and Florida.

Can anyone make a formula out of that?

There already is such a site, rankbyoffers.wordpress.com. It creates its ranking by taking into account the total number of offers and by attaching a prestige score to schools (e.g., an Alabama offer is worth more than a Michigan State offer which is worth more than a UTEP offer). It's a good idea, but its just hopelessly flawed since offers are self-reported by prospects. The best example is Leonard Fournette, who actually holds at least 107 offers but is ranked 187th on that site because only bothered reporting 17 of them. Jabrill Peppers is another "victim" of this; he's said that he's actually picked up 50 or 60 offers, but he's ranked 110th because he only reported 21 to the sites. Guys who commit early not getting/not reporting offers due to their commitment, prospects with lots of offers not bothering with reporting all of them...there's also the problem of prospects reporting non-committable and other "soft" offers that really shouldn't count, like Jayru Campbell's Alabama offer. Also, its rare, but sites will sometimes conflict on whether a school has offered a given prospect, so there's the question of what sources you're using and how reliable they are. It's interesting, but I definitely wouldn't take it too seriously.
