Here we are again with TechSideline.com's ninth annual "Inside the
Numbers: Ranking the Recruits," in which we mash together recruiting
rankings from various recruiting services into one complex ranking system that
gives each VT recruit a composite ranking. We first did this in 2001, and as we
add more and more recruits to our rankings, it's interesting to see where
today's recruits rank when compared to yesterday's recruits. We now have nine
years of data, and we can see how the 2009 recruits compare to the big names
from Tech's past classes
The concept behind ITN:RTR is simple: we take the recruiting rankings from
SuperPrep, Rivals.com, and Scout.com and mash them into one formula that assigns
each recruit a composite ranking.
