This site presents a unique approach to rating and ranking high school athletes. Major recruiting services rank these athletes based upon the opinions of their experts. In contrast, the offer-based approach represents the perceptions of college coaches by quantifying the scholarship offers they’ve extended to each athlete.

Eletise is awesome, but at the same time, this site is BS. How do they verify that an offer is legit?

Either way, interesting. And when Elestise commits I'll need some new stitching in my sweatpants.

Their data could be horsepucky. I think their methodology is sound. For instance, http://www.rankbyoffers.com/teamweightings/

The relative value of each program’s offers are determined using players’ commitments and the offers they rejected. Using this approach, it is assumed that the offers players accepted are more valuable than those they passed up. In essence, program offers are ranked by the players themselves.

Crap, he's got to be going elsewhere with Pepsi's track record in these kinds of predictions

My bad, I meant to say when he goes to Arizona I will have to get new sweatpants because of having an accident in my pants.

He is all Zona, he loves the heat, he thrives in the heat, he IS the heat.

@GrundleStiltzkin just looked into their methodology a bit more, and it is interesting. Their weighting should help even it out a bit. Good stuff.

Their methodology makes some degree of sense, but there'll be limitations with the accuracy of the data and the coach's commitment to that player.

For example, some schools will have logjams at certain position groups, so a kid will opt to another school for more immediate playing time. Other scholarships are pulled from kids, especially when others commit and take their positions, so some of those scholarships are no longer valid, yet still counted in their system. Also, some coaches distribute offers like they're Halloween candies (*cough* Sark *cough*), so the value of the scholarship is watered down, especially when those scholarship offers aren't commitable (*cough* Sark *cough*). Also, players that commit early in the cycle will have fewer offers than players who commit on signing day, thereby skewing the perception of the value of the recruit based on when they commit/sign. This is especially noticeable with Brandon Wellington, who is ranked #1037.

I don't know if I like it just yet, but I do like that there's another metric for which to measure recruiting, and one that's based off offers and not stars. That being said, this is probably only good for evaluating recruits who commit in December or January since you look at kids like Wellington and Wattenburg and see the problems with this system.
