At long last the 2014 D1CW Recruiting Rankings have been released.
This year more than years past I have began to value more quality over quantity. That shows with Penn State taking the #1 overall spot. I have went back and reevaluated past rankings where I valued classes with for instance 7 top 150 recruits (most of which are in the 80-150 range) higher than a class with 3 top 30 recruits.
I still have factored in that, oh so hard to quantify "impact on the program" factor, which helps a few teams (Buffalo, Army come to mind). While there may be teams with higher ranked recruits behind them, the strength of their numbers will mean more to to them.
