An Analysis of 2010 Recruits

[Bill in Sinton]

I did an analysis on these recruits as of 1-23-10 on the 22 who have verbaled so far. Of course I hope this class isn't complete yet and also remember we lost a couple of recruits who had verbaled to us before April, 2009.

Of the 22 recruits we had verbals from 16 of them in February 2009 or 73%. We had three more verbal in March 2009 for a total of 19 or 86% of them.

We had three more in October and December of 2009 and one in January 2010.

This indicates that we basically finish off the very large majority of our recruiting in March of each year except for a few recruits which we keep up with interest.

Bear in mind that this is just one class and I haven't done an analysis of the past several years which may give more accurate data but the trend definitely indicates we get most of our classes very early.

Please share your thoughts and analysis and opinions.

Does that in any way say that the staff is ready to settle for good-to-great classes typically and have it set (also get a head start on the next year) rather than go for the homeruns in each class?

I guess it sounds like a way to continually have a top caliber program year in and year out. In total this is probably something most fans would prefer.

Quite an interesting analysis. I wonder what percentage of our recruits have last names beginning with the letter A thru M?

I think DeMarco Cobbs is going to be a huge impact player for us.

The early stats are even more striking when you consider we had 2 early commits change their minds.
