There still will be a couple adjustments as changes are made in the last day, but thought I'd share the results from my offer ratings calculations. A couple general thoughts this year:
1) the Big 10 is recruiting at a much higher level than a couple years ago. It's hard to find recruits that don't have several other P5 offers.
2) My offer ratings system doesn't tend to punish for bottom of the class as there are no class averages and only worries about numbers of 5.6 (mid 3*) and above recruits in your class. So Minnesota's class, for instance, isn't penalized for the specialists this year where they seem to be on Rivals and 247.
3) My offer ratings system also doesn't provide extra bonus points for top recruits, but only a point difference if they are a high 4* (6.0) v. a mid 4* (5.9).
4) I have calculated the Fencejumpers Offer Rating points for the tiers based upon 5 points for High 4*, 4 points for Mid 4*, 3 Points for Low 4*, 2 points for High 3*, and down to 1 point for Mid 3*.
5) Link to other thread outlining how I calculate offers into ratings: https://minnesota.forums.rivals.com/threads/fencejumpers-offer-ratings-preview.36992/
