Final Recruiting Rankings - Hoop Scoop

The final ranking from Hoop Scoop online has us Tied at #34 (with Houston).

How the ratings work: On our rating 1-10 rating scale a top five player nationally is worth 10 points, a top 10 player nationally is worth nine points, a player in the 11-40 range nationally is worth eight points, a player in the 41-70 range nationally is worth six points, a player in the 71-100 range nationally is worth four points, a player in the 101-300 range nationally is worth three points, a player in the 301-1000 range nationally is worth two points, and anybody not ranked among the top 1000 gets one point. Junior college and prep school are factored in as if they were the equivalent of a high school senior.

really we should be lower than #34, Mullis won’t play until 05, so they should subtract 3 pts from our total…

You’re right…didn’t even notice that about Mullis. I wrote them a few weeks ago and informed them they were missing Lewis then they make the mistake of adding Mullis. Taking his points away, that puts us at #51.

The only thing to keep in mind with how they (Hoop Scoop) rank this…it is not the most objective ranking. The more you sign the better (it is total points versus the average per kid, which is really what is should be as the primary ranking with the quantity being a secondary factor). In other words, you could have signed the top 3 kids in the country and still only had a ranking of 30 points…which would have been ranked BELOW Lamar (of all schools) at #4. They signed 9 kids (I have no idea how that works…hello, 5/9 rule!).

The 5/9 rule is gone BLH.

Hoop Scoop’s rankings are a joke. The entire system is flawed. I think you oughtta rank a program’s recruiting based upon factors like addressing a need and protecting their turf in addition to the typical star/talent/points system.

We did a pretty decent job for this season. Drayton should be an instant impact player and many of us believe Goldwire will be a sleeper. The rest give us some quality depth at positions where we need it.

Next year’s class could be pretty darn good if we get Gee & Neal. Along with Mullis & De’Angelo, that’s a really good start. We will have to sign another starting caliber 4/5 for it to be successful though.

Why would you want/need to sign that many players?

i think they had several players transfer out of the program, but 9 is an insanely large recruiting class :wacko:

Good to see Nance in the 71-100 category. I still think he’s going to be a major factor for this year’s team.
