Message: [QUOTE="chugg21, post: 2493045, member: 3360"] Well it is right. I just went all the way back to 2005 and the average recruit grade is pushing higher and higher as years go by. I didn't do anything too scientfic but the average recruit in a class ranked 50th has increased accordingly: 2005 - 80.79 2007- 82.37 2009- 84.23 2011- 82.03 2013 - 82.83 2015- 84.02 2017-84.69 Besides the blip in 2009, there has been a steady increase of almost 4 pts in the average recruit of an average class. I also took a look at what the average recruit in a very good class, ranked 25th, looked like: 2005 - 84.34 2007 - 85.6 2009 - 86 2011- 85.64 2013- 86.86 2015- 86.44 2017 - 87.58 Nearly identical, it has inreased steadily and is up over 3 pts over time. While I agree that our class looks like the strongest in quite some time, the players ratings compared to ones prior are just increasing at a similar rate that the entire database is. [/QUOTE]
