All year long, OXVT (@OX_VT on Twitter) tracks the player rankings for ACC Coastal Division recruiting, and he ranks every football recruit for every Coastal Division team, per the 247Sports.com composite rankings.
Now that the 2018 February Signing Day is out of the way and every team's recruiting class is complete, here's the final infographic.
OX has the teams ranked by Median player ranking, but if you rank them via Average player ranking, you get the following (a slight change):
- Miami: 0.9099
- UNC: 0.8766
- VT: 0.8746
- Pitt: 0.8582
- Duke: 0.8574
- GT: 0.8476
- UVA: 0.8439
On paper, Miami's recruiting class is tops in the Coastal, and it's not close. The Hokies and Tar Heels are tightly grouped behind the 'Canes, then Pitt and Duke are clustered together, and Georgia Tech and Virginia bring up the rear.
When you look at overall ACC national class rankings by 247Sports, which takes the number of recruits into account, you get the following Coastal Division recruiting rankings:
8. Miami (23 recruits)
23. UNC (21)
24. VT (26)
46. Pitt (21)
51. GT (21)
61. Duke (16)
64. Virginia (21)
