- I wanted to get mine in before Flo . But I am using Flo's Weight class rankings with a system starting with 50 pts for anyone ranked 1st in their weight class and working downward as such:
1. 50 .......... 11. 14
2. 44 .......... 12. 12
3. 39 .......... 13. 10
4. 35 .......... 14. 9
5. 31 .......... 15. 8
6. 27 .......... 16. 7
7. 24 .......... 17. 6
8. 21.......... 18. 5
9. 18 .......... 19. 4
10 16 .......... 20. 3
YES.....I did this earlier in the year but rankings changed and a few new commits were added.
How accurate will I be? Well...in 2013 Flo rated Pitt as having the #2 recruiting class in the country......and in 2015 they had West Virginia's recruiting class ranked higher than Ohio State's that included Myles Martin, Ke-Shawn Hayes and Kollin Moore. .I hope to be a tad more accurate than that
Updates as of 5/6/2018 ONLY Seniors included ENJOY!

.....
NOTES: Obviously Penn State and Ohio State are clear top two. I could very well remove the 94 points for Brooks and Beard since they will not be attending PSU next year.......dropping PSU to a distant 2nd.....but......It is MY rankings and I chose not to . INFINITY and BEYOND!.... It will give people something to complain about . Some schools got multiple ranked guys while others got fewer but have real studs. I tried to set up my points allocation to include/reflect that. That said.....If anyone wants to argue that both Minnesota and Michigan should be ahead of Missouri because of the quality of their fewer recruits.....I would agree with you. It is just how the points came out . I'll keep tweaking my system in hopes of making it more accurate. Iowa and Cornell may be at the bottom this year but they were number 1-2 in my last year's computations. Cornell also has several highly rated juniors who have verballed for next year....PSU currently has one.....and we have heard all too frequently about Iowa's transfers ( not included here )....Interesting to compare.... ENJOY
NOTE: Yes....I triple-checked the math....Pitt did indeed make the top 20. Ice Cream in Hell
