12/30/22 - Note that in our Recruiting class Jack Wilty has not been rated (JC OL All-American who should end up a 3*). Of note in our Transfer class is that Traore is unrated still and will be a 4* Transfer, plus none of Cam'Ron, J. Brown, Vassett, Mata, T. Brown and Payne have a Transfer rating yet.

Where tf did LSU come from? is that just Denver Harris?
 
That avg rank for prep recruits is quite a bit higher than any class in the modern era despite the ranking
It goes way up, too, when we sign one of the top CB targets (assuming we get either McClain or Pleasant).
I've always thought average rank per recruit was way more indicative of class quality than points.

They used to limit the points to only the top 25 players in the class. Does anyone know if that is still the case in the new transfer era?

Similar question here: Is the average rank/recruit only the top 25 players or all players?

I haven't looked it up in a while. On Rivals (going back to when Adam was the publisher there), it was the Top 20 recruits counting toward a class. Really hurts rank in a year when you might only sign 14 or so, especially when you've got a specialist and/or fullback in that mix since those guys almost never get rated above a low 3* (though that was balanced a bit by putting position rank into the formula as a modifier).

Anyway, I agree that the average rank/recruit is more indicative of the talent than the total -- quality over quantity.

The 2023 Buffs class (recruits and transfers) will be inflated by quantity as we sign a ton of guys to turn over the roster -- needing quality depth and culture as much as we need frontline talent. 2024 will be driven by quality.
 
Updated to add Tayvion Beasley. I think we're up to date.
Can probably update Seydou Traore’s composite ranking.

In general, I’m going to have to trust Sanders and staff with the evaluations of the OL and DL bc it seems to be a little bit different level than the rest of the position groups.
 
I'll do some updates later to get guys added and edit to Transfer Ratings when available.

But this post is simply to point out that CU is now ranked #1 among transfer classes.

With heartfelt wishes to fans of other programs,
