[Darth Snow]

Rivals Rating points + Rivals250 Bonus Points = Total Points

Rivals Rating (RR) Scale (Top 20 rated commitments)

(Rivals Rating = Points)

6.1 = 150 points
6.0 = 135 points
5.9 = 120 points
5.8 = 105 points
5.7 = 90 points
5.6 = 75 points
5.5 = 60 points
5.4 = 45 points
5.3 = 30 points

committed prospects will have a rating once evaluated and rankings are
updated.

I guess I've got to update Stoudt's Recruitipedia again. Thanks, Snow.

Now all they need to do is hire analysts and scouts and teach them to write, rather than having a bunch of writers try to convince people they can analyze a recruit.

Rivals is actually bringing in another west coast analyst, which should help their coverage.

 

[You Assholes]

So stars are better than offer lists?

Instigator.

 

[DBT]

Will this affect a school's APR?

 

[somebody]

So stars are better than offer lists?

Sometimes. Unless the offer lists make CU look better. And if they're both bad for a CU commit it's due to recruiting site bias and unreported offers.
