Developing My Own Recruiting Rankings

Update:

Ok, I sat down this morning and jotted down some preliminary ranking categories. I want to attempt to calculate every major category of relevance. Here's a basic idea:

QB:

Starter
All-Conference
All-American
Award Winner (Season and Game)
Years Played
Statistical Markers (2,500 yards, 15 TDs)
NFL Draft

In the case of the statistics, they would be awarded more points for the greater the achievement. Also, INTs, Fumbles, Drops, Low completion percentage could be used to dock points.

What other categories should be considered?
Which categories should be most heavily weighted? (I think awards should count but only slightly since they are so opinion/hype based).


I think the draft should be included (only in terms of where a player was drafted) because a) most of the recruiting sites evaluate based on how a player will perform on the next two levels and b) a players draft status directly affects his university in terms of bringing it clout.

Should I consider changing the weights based on star level? I.e., a 5 star will be judged more severely than a 3 star because a 5 star has greater expectations. Or does that unfairly skew the rankings?

My other thought is that I'll assign numerical values to each of the categories (every year they start it's 1 point etc.). Each player will accrue his overall value in points which will then be divided by his respective star ranking to determine is actual "efficiency value" to the recruiting class.

Thoughts? Additions? Criticisms? Give me insight.

Just looking for some input whether or not people think this would be a worth endeavor.

I was thinking of developing a Recruiting Efficiency Ranking that would use a certain mathematical equation to rate recruiting classes retroactively. These would be of no use in trying to calculate the current value of a recruiting class, but a tool to look back on previous years' classes and see how they truly stacked up in a mathematical way.

Essentially I would assign values to a player's level of production and achievement - starters get points, all conference more points, all american even more etc. I would also assign a value to the distance from home to the school they chose (only broadly). The further away a prospect the less "efficient" the ranking. However, a lower star player who greatly outperforms his ranking would also be "more efficient".

Essentially, the rankings would be used to determine who is getting the most bang for their buck in recruiting. It would be by no means scientific... just something I thought could be interesting and a different approach to the rankings.

Thoughts?
