Comparative Recruiting by the Numbers

Following up on last year's post, I went back through and added all of this year's signed players into my spreadsheet and ran the the numbers (based on 247 composite) through 2007. Without further ado,

Class as a Whole:
1. 2018 (.8779)
2. 2009 (.8770)

Summary:
Fuente has put back to back classes of the 1st and 3rd highest ratings.
DBU has seen unprecedentedly consistent recruiting with 3 of the 5 highest ratings coming in the last three years.
We have seen consistent improvement each year for WR, OL, and RB.
Had we not taken any JUCO players, the class rating would have been .8811.
