5-year Average Stars Recruiting Rankings (all 119 teams)
Posted on 7/28/08 at 11:20 am
Posted on 7/28/08 at 11:20 am
Below are the average star recruiting rankings for the last 5 years consolidated (2004 recruiting class through 2008 recruiting class). If a player was in the 2004 recruiting class, barring any odd circumstances, and the player redshirted in the 2004 season he would be a senior in 2008. Me and a buddy keep these rolling five-year rankings just to kind of take stock of where we're at in terms of talent (at least according to stars) on roster relative to the other teams. Last year we were #2 in these rankings, but we've swapped spots with Florida this year. Alabama has also hopped Auburn with their strong 2008 class.
Other teams that we may be interested in are underlined.
(for each year, it is the school's average stars for that recruiting class ... then that team's 5 years are totaled and divided by 5 to get the average that determines the rankings in this list)

6 SEC teams in the top 15...about what I would have guessed.
USC has a five year average of over 4 stars...wow!! I am still looking for Stanford on that list.

I'm really glad you posted this. I've been considering doing something similar for SEC schools. Now I don't have to. Thanks.

According to rivals, 3.54 was our average stars for 2004 ...

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.

this shows USC has really under-achieved for the insane amount of tallent they have.
Also with the exception of Georgia all of the top ten in recruiting have a national title (or 2 for LSU)in the past 10 years
1 USC NC 2004
2 Florida NC 2006
3 LSU NC 2003 & 2007 (soon to be 2008)
4 Oklahoma NC 2000
5 Texas NC 2005
6 Georgia NC Who knows
7 Ohio State NC 2002
8 Michigan NC 1998
9 Florida State NC 1999
10 Miami NC 2001

No, that can't be right. Saban had NOTHING to work with when he got there.

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.

I would like to see how each class ended. Meaning how many players made it to campus, how many lived up to their potential.

Without question they are the most amazing team on this list. Year-in-year-out they are the team to beat in the Big East and consistently a Top10 team in the polls, yet as far as recruiting goes they are well below par relative to the other teams competing for a national title year-in-year-out.
I don't know if they are an anomoly or if their former coach Rich Rod really is an excellent coach. Probably a little bit of both, actually, not to mention an example of what a soft schedule can do to elevate a progam in the polls.

this ranking is a good argument for defending their star rankings. the top ranking teams are the ones playing in and winning national titles. guess stars actually matter on recruits
