Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

So, is it class rank, or star average that determines how good a class is?

    Sark's "Top 10 class" (2010) was in the top 10 purely because it had 32 commits. Using star average, it was...well...average. Performance wise, it was pure shit. Average star ranking is a better way to judge a class because by the other measure, you get points for bringing in shit recruits as long as you bring in a lot of them.

    Since then, Scout has capped the overall rankings based only on the 25 best recruits in a class.

    Pretty sure we won the offseason natty by that metric since the LA schools don't count because they've won the offseason natty so much they aren't eligible and have unfair advantages.

    However, it's both as @BallSacked says. But more importantly, I think we lost the offseason natty when we got 1 offensive linemen. And a "Colombian" running back.

    Other than that, we won the offseason natty.

    You can have 1 OL (well, actually you can't), and you can have a "Colombian" RB. But you can't have both.

    We got both, so we are disqualified.

    I'm getting fucked up tonight anyway.

    Which is kind of worse in a way, it means the fact you got 7 no name 2 star shitheads soaking up scholarships doesn't hurt you at all in the rankings.

    Disagree. That fact would be captured in the average. Kind of like Sarks 2010 top class that barely was above 3.0 avg.

    I rank classes by our win-loss record 4-5 years from now. Don't know how else you would do it.

    Win some fucking games.

    Nothing else matters.

    McGrew is the best RB on the west and can absolutely fly no matter how Columbian he is.

    Anyone who gets 2nd in the California state 100 meet and has football instincts is going to ball out.

    If he was pimped out by snoop, had dreads, and was black he would be a 5 star.

    Dennis, for being good at this, you're not very good at this.
    Melanin deficiency is a serious problem.

    Look @ this way. 25 3 stars = 75 pts. 17 4 stars =68 pts. The 25 man class is ranked higher. On paper which one would you rather have?

    Sure. As well if you had two classes with the same average, which one would you want? The 25 or 17 man one.

    Both rankings are relevant.
