Based on a conversation in the recruiting thread I wanted to see the statistics of the Final Four participates recruiting rankings. All rankings are taken from 247. I put together the four classes that would have played in the final four (assuming the players stayed for 4 years).

VTs recruiting class since 2007-2018 (the time covered in this chart) averages 66th with a median of 46th. With the non-cinderella Mean/Median being 35/32 we have a ways to go, however we only need a four year period.
In 2017 our four year Mean/Median was 38/24 which is good enough to play for a final four. The 2018 foure year Mean/Median is 46/39. Most of the other years are 50th-60th/47. Oddly enough our recruiting class 4 year average is median of 47 for 5 of the 8 seasons covered. We have a pattern of 3 good years and then one terrible year of recruiting.
UVA is the worst recruiting champion followed by Louisville.
