This says more about looking at rankings as an absolute. Ranking says nothing about meeting team needs. Even on todays front page you see people talking about the skill players we signed in this class not living up to potential unless we shore up the offensive line. Rankings also don't take into account the players that leave the program. We had several highly ranked receivers transfer out just a couple of years ago. In O's first year we had several offensive linemen transfer or leave early. Ranking are a good metric but you need a good balance also.

may want to check out his formula and read what was posted

quote:

I found the projections work best when they are weighted as follows: this year’s recruiting class accounts for about 67 percent of the projection, last year’s accounts for 15 percent, the class from two years ago accounts for 15 percent, and the class from three years out accounts for about 3 percent. So I guess we call it a weighted four-year average now.


Les' last class only accounted for 3% in the formula used. Orgeron's first class after Les was fired only accounted for 15%.

This guy also doesn't say anything about whether he's accounting for players that aren't still with the teams that recruited them out of high school. Based on what the OP says, it appears as if he's just taking the composite scores straight from 247 and Rivals, year by year. So if this year's #3 class on Rivals and #5 on 247 counts for 67%, then your response doesn't really mean a whole lot.

Playing in & winning a NY6 bowl & finishing 6th in the nation has been quite a rebuild from where Miles left the program. But I don’t see anyone implying that this program is being rebuilt

Wait. It looks like 2/3 of this score is based on this year’s class, and another 20% on last year’s class, right? So does that just confirm that the rebuild is happening?

Its year 3 for Coach O. He's had a chance to recruit "his" players, coach "his" players, and they have a chance to now be on the field. Thats always been the way to approach it IMO.

Dude, Les Miles's ratings didn't count.

The current head coach's ratings didn't count either until they were high.

Makes you wonder how a national championship winning coach wasn’t doing better and had to be fired huh

If I read that correctly, the average is weighted heavily on the most current class who haven't played yet.
No one said it was a "rebuild" but we clearly had holes in the roster due to attrition and prior roster management.
However, Orgeron owns everything now. There is no more reason to reference Les and the legacy of his last few years. They're his players, his coaches, his program management, etc.
We're trending up and 2018 yielded the best results of the past 5 years.
