My analysis does have real value for people who are smart enough to recognize it. I'm using a Virginia sample to support my assertion that high school rankings are not reliable. I've done the same analysis of Virginia Tech classes over eight years and I've found that roughly half of BOTH the four and three star recruits have not contributed at Tech. Some did contribute elsewhere so I will consider a separate calculation of guys that contributed elsewhere. Roughly half of the recruits are not going to contribute AND it's the same story everywhere. My conclusion can be anything I want it to be as long as I corroborate it with data. I have NiNE years of data from Virginia and I have SEVEN years of data for Virginia Tech. I don't agree that the ranking should be skill based and I don't believe people can accurately rate players who do not compete against each other in the same leagues. I believe classes should be evaluated based on production and that is why I primarily consider starts, snaps and stats. Post-season honors are often biased or arbitrary so I would never assign points based on those honors. I did start adding NFL analysis as well since that is another independent measure. You don't understand the analysis. I'm not doing statistics. I'm a historian, investigator and auditor. Statistics do not apply when I am reviewing the data FIVE YEARS LATER. I know which players are busts and which ones overachieved. Statistics can be manipulated so I wouldn't trust most of the big reports. My analysis includes the portal so I actually keep track of where the players transferred. I will count a guy as a contributor if he has a big season at a G6 school but D3 don't count. Read my conclusion in CAPS so you will understand what I am saying. RECRUITING RANKINGS CANNOT BE RELIED UPON WHEN THE ATTRITION RATES ON AVERAGE EXCEED FORTY PERCENT ANNUALLY. I contend that high school recruits failing to meet expectations in normal since it's not possible to predict future success of high school recruits. I've been following recruiting for over thirty years and I want people to realize that a significant percentage of these recruits will not meet expectations for various reasons. The coaches are often at fault for not developing the player or putting them in the best position.
