At the current recruit rankings trajectory if we doubled the size of the class to 28 kids like Shafer, this class would be ranked #17 ahead of Ohio State.

Adding 6 more kids at the lowest rvls three star tier (5.5) - a 20 kid class - the ranking would bump to #38.  That doesn't account for anyone else moving up or down, but rvls is heavily weighted towards numbers because they have a point system.  The more kids, the more points, the higher the ranking.

It comes down to a few things for me (from the outside looking in). 
1) Who offered,
2) how were they evaluated - in person, what camps, what combines, games, did offers come from those performances,
3) level of competition - what class size school, traditional football hotbed,
4) measurable's
5) awards/recognition - Team Captain, All State, ALL Star Games, State Playoff teams etc......

...what we don't see and can't rate is a kid's character.  That would rank very high on my list.  How does he face adversity, how is he viewed by his teachers and is he coachable?
