Great Article
Using these stats going back a few years we can certainly see who is wasting talent and who is overachieving.

Really, really enjoyed this piece
It helps people understand long term ramifications of what you do now
Andddddd, that % increases for FSU less than an hour after article posted. Louis to FSU per almost everyone on Twitter. Jimbo is really doing something special in recruiting.
Great piece
F the Deacs - Notre Dame, Rutgers and UConn to the ACC
Question
Just looking at the number 12 in that chart as our number of commits (non-kicker/punters)… how do you get 85% of 12? 10/12 is 83.3%, 11/12 is 91.6%. Curious. :)
So is “12” the wrong number, or the percentage is wrong, or Bud was channeling his psychic powers to add Ricardo Louis to our list, which might make it 11 of 13 recruits… which is 84.6% at 4 stars or higher.
Hmmm!
Dan Patrick: "Is Ponder a good name for a quarterback?"
Christian Ponder: "Why? Because you say I overthink things? is that what you’re trying to imply? As crazy as it sounds, my mom’s maiden name is actually SuperBowlWinner. Isn’t that crazy?"
DP: "Now is that hyphenated?"
CP7: "No, it’s all one word."
It’s an average of the four major services. 11 10 10 10 per espn, rivals, scout, 247

Great article Bud!
Gettin paid, getting paid. :) Congrats.
Great article,
love the unique analysis, brought about b/c of the small numbers some of these schools are forced to sign i.e. FSU, USC
SEC
Why not just put all 12 SEC schools into the top 10 rankings??? Lol

Why not list FSU as having a chance for the best class?
If we end up with 22 (adding only 4 star or better) we would have a historic class, and end up head and shoulders above the rest IMO.

Saw this article on the main page of SI
Props my man
A well rounded, thought out, and a fun article to read. Never cease to impress.
I really like how you anticipated people’s questions that would challenge the analysis and answered them. I think that helps people buy in because your showing them you have given thought to the logic’s potential faults. It probably captures a greater number of people who would have otherwise written it off from a couple first paragraphs.
