I agree with the comments that folks above have written.  The data definitely has limitations especially when it does not factor in the number of scholarships available.

But Syracuse had 4 open scholarships available for 2017, offered 12 top 100 recruits and got zero.  That's a true 0% closing rate.

I really wanted to do every ACC school, but I just didn't have the time.  Perhaps I'll keep this thread going and try to research the number of scholarships each team had available, and try to extrapolate some different data.

I'd also like to throw in some other schools like Gonzaga, Nova, Butler, etc because they are succeeding as non P5 schools.  I'd like to see who they are landing and where we stack up.

I'm not going to comment on the Swider thread right now because I think people need to cool off and calm down.

I don't think the sky is falling but we NEED to examine the health of recruiting, regardless of JB's comments today.  Did you really think he'd say anything differently?

But instead of complaining about missing out on Swider, let's do something constructive.  Let's get to the bottom of it.  Let's identify our weaknesses and areas of strength. Let's look at similar schools in prestige and or success over the last 10 years.  I think that's much more constructive than pissing and moaning about who we didn't get.

If anyone else wants to contribute some time to research, I'd welcome it.  Much better than the complaining.
