DIFFERENT WAYS TO LOOK AT RECRUITING
FROM THE 2004-2005 SPRING SIGNING PERIOD
Publisher July 4 2005
The cumulative total for each recruiting class was
arrived at by assigning every player a ranking on a scale of 110. 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.
