Great fucking jerb @DoogCourics and @UW_Doog_Bot I have been saying for ages that in addition to never using composite (because fuck ESPN they couldn't find the WC on a map), we should also NEVER use class ranks. It weights size too heavily, which is stupid, and also the reason @Doog_de_Jour doesn't like me.
The only way looking at recruiting makes sense is using 247 rankings, because while not perfect it is the best of the available bunch, and looking at per recruit average. Who cares if you get 28 kids that are okay, I'd rather have 15 that kick ass.
Funny when you look at this on a per recruit basis, Pete has kicked Oregons ass 4 years straight (BONEM), though to be fair it was by the narrowest of margins this year. Essentially, this chart shows we are reaching the promised land of the best recruiting in the Pac12. Too bad the land is inhabited by dwarfs, but still. Good chit.
Hmmmm Now that we are done jerking off over being the tallest midget, in the spirit of having high standards I'm thinking we need to look around the CFP landscape and pick a handful of programs to compare our rising talent with.

So you can definitely see where we've come from. The next few years should put us squarely in the CFP hunt with the talent we have. Some luck and a talented qb(Skinny please!) could be enough to put us over the top.

Clearly right in the middle of tier 2. That is excellent. Push it up one more point and you are in rarified air.

As I kind of build out my own database it will be interesting to look at some of the historic trends and numbers. There seems to be a definite "Tier 1" recruiting range at around 91-94 avg which we are currently just outside of the last two years. Per what DDY says, close just a few more of our top targets and we are right there. There's a lot of variance for even the blue bloods year to year and you know there's only one team that's consistently seeming to defy that.
If I have the time, feel ambitious enough, and get some help from the other recruitknicks, we might even be able to compile a "talent database" that's more or less able to compare current total team talent etc.
It would be similar to @YellowSnow's short hand blue chip ratio count but with numbers instead.
Start combining those metrics up with some in-season metrics and we are starting to look like the Bad News Bears to your Morris Buttermaker.

I wonder if you could simplify things and get a more accurate picture if you just compared the average of the top 10-15 recruits in each class? Actual class quality seems much more heavily dependent on quality at the top rather than the mediocre depth.
Simplified for morons: Class A: 10 5 stars and 10 1 stars = average 3 Class B: 20 3 stars = average 3
Both classes would get the same average but one is significantly more desirable/impactful than the other.

TYFYS but I had already pulled it. Go to class calculator and you can pull the individual classes further back. You guys ready for a boner inducing chart?
This doesn't count Dabo's beginning season as an interim coach but does start at his first full season. It actually looks like he came in with moar talent than peterman did as well since the 2009 class was 89.81 and the previous year to that was also in the 89's.
Dabo won his title at #7 on this chart. Also the first year he recruited above 90 pts. average.
Kind of surprised by the lackluster reaction to the fact that we have been recruiting better than Clemson for two years until after they won their national title. I expected more boner.gifs

Dabi won meaningful bowls games with lesser talent, so no boner for peterman

You nailed it cobra. When peterman wins a NY6 I think the pre-funk t-shirts should have Optimus prime with the boner and an oversized pic of Pete’s face. A classy purple shirt with some gold.
I’m not rich so only the first 81 people that show up get a free shirt.
