DIFFERENT WAYS TO LOOK AT RECRUITING
FROM THE 2001-2002 FALL SIGNING PERIOD

The cumulative total for each recruiting class was arrived at by assigning every player a ranking on a scale of 1-10.  A top five player nationally is worth 10 points, a top 10 player is worth nine points, a top 40 player is worth eight points, a top 70 player is worth six points, a top 100 is worth four points, a top 300 player is worth three points, a top 1000 player is worth two points, and anybody not ranked among the top 1000 is worth one point.
