Its a continuous roller coaster ride over the years for all of those analyses. This shows that recruiting is not an exact science (duh). Certainly metrics and minimum requirements could be applied, but I'm not sure that alone makes those charts more steady over the years in orange and maroon.
Lots of intangibles to address as well (i.e., kids choices (pre- and post-LOI), coaches gut, coaching changes, player position changes, injuries, etc.).
Thanks Andy, that is good stuff.

Great write-up Andy! That's good research :D
This was an interesting read for sure. I really have a love/hate relationship with following recruiting
Stop. Your facts are getting in the way of my sweeping statements of the program based purely on emotion and individual anecdotes.
Excellent work as usual Andy. Thanks for posting.
I love that Joe added the feature to be able to turkey-leg the forum post.
"If the Hokies finally turn things around this year, my guess is most fans won't care where those players came from."
True dat!
