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.
    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.
    No shit it would be captured in the average. That's why I'm saying star average >>>>> Scout rankings.

    That wasn't what you were saying.

    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?
    Your 25 man class would be ranked much lower in reality.

    4*= 120 base points
    3*= 40 base points

    Additional points are awarded based on position rankings so high 4* are worth more than low 4* etc.

    It all depends on which one UW is ranked higher in. That one is more important.

    Chincredible.

    Who the fuck cares? When pete gets 23-25 kids with a 3.5 average we can actually compete

    This idea that we out recruited anybody with a 17 man class is a a joke! DBG is a 2 star,Chin is a 2 star the fat OL is a 2 star the TE from Oregon will never catch a pass.Mcgrew is a nice little recruit he's not the best tailback on the west coast...ask the all star game folks,Pleasant was a fill in that nobody else offered,Fuller is a role guy

    It's a nice class for a 6-6 team that's at the bottom half of the conference...it's hardly a game changer type class

    It's all fucking retarded if you can't develop the talent. If Pete is who we hope he is, 3 stars will be developed into all Pac 12 caliber starters

    Scout had us at a 3.47 average I believe Rivals had us at 3.12...or it could be vice versa. It was pretty respectable. Florida State, Bammer, USC, Ohio State and the like were around 3.7 to 3.85 or so. I'm too lazy to look it up again.

    As always, it's time to prove it on the field...even Gilby and Ty always had classes between about 10 and 40th, and it translated to poor years.
