I wonder how much it would change if you calculated by adding total stars for each year and dividing by total recruits over the five years, thus giving equal value to each recruit. Using the current methodology, recruits in smaller classes receive more weighting than recruits in larger classes.

Not complaining, just a point of discussion.

Great work.

You're exactly right ... I'd like to do it the way you pointed out to be more accurate but for simplicity purposes he just did it this way. I'll try and get him to do the other way as well if he's got some extra time today. I don't think it would change the rankings very much in the end, though.

Great work.

What would be better is to only count those that actually qualified and made it to the team.

The best way for now is to take the avg. star ranking on everyone's current 85 scholarship players.
