Is Riley's recruiting process/organization better? I would say 'yes'.

But the end results so far under Riley have been pretty much the same that we saw under Bo. And one could argue that Bo brought in higher level talent (more 4*s) than what Riley has done.

2017 #23 / 5 4*s / 20 commits

2016 #24 / 5 4*s / 21 commits

2015 #30 / 4 4*s / 21 commits (transition class)

2014 #36 / 2 4*s / 25 commits

2013 #22 / 7 4*s / 24 commits

2012 #31 / 8 4*s / 17 commits

2011 #16 / 9 4*s / 21 commits

2010 #27 / 5 4*s / 20 commits

With that said, hopefully it changes this year and we get that breakthrough top 10-15 class.

I agree with your point that they're basically the same so far. But even if Riley only lands a top 25 class, that'll be three in a row, which is better than Bo who was really up and down in recruiting rankings.

2010: 3 out of 5 of the 4 stars completed their eligibility. One of those being a JUCO. Cooper was the only standout

2011: 4 out of 9 completed eligibility. None were standouts

2012: 4 out of 8 completed eligibility. Cross, Westerkamp, Rose-Ivey, and Armstrong were the standouts.

2013: 4 out of 7 completed eligibility. Newby, Banderas, and Newby standouts

2014: 2 for 2 so far. Gates and Farmer

2015: 3 out of 4 so far still on the team. Only Jordan Stevenson is gone

2016: 5 out of 5 still here

2017: 5 for 5 but obviously it's early.

So Bo was 17-31 on 4 stars staying through their eligibility.

Riley is currently 13-14 but again it's early

2012 Bo- 87.7

2011 Bo- 88.3

2010 Bo- 78 (lol)

Pretty laughable that you tried to use Team Ranking, when you basically have no control over who other teams get to get in front of you and it bases it off of how many recruits you land.

Besides that, MR proving he can get better and better, while Bo fell off a cliff. Now, will you please stay off my lawn?

Bo's average player ranking 2010-2014 - .8701 (Bo's 78 in 2010 includes walkons b/c 247 included them on 2010 and prior classes. Mav's chart has the corret 2010 average of .8642)

Mike's average player ranking 2016-2017 - .8733 (I left off the 2015 transition class)

Mike is killing Bo on the recruiting trail!!!!11!!1!!!!!11!

Stephenson doesn't count, he wasn't including in those rankings. Was added in august that year, or summer at least. So riley is 13-13

Like I said, he is not = to Bo. Also, his classes keep getting better. Bo's sunk. Also, how many baseball players are included in Bo's "standout" classes?

Here you go Mav. Didn't go run and hide anywhere.

That's basically the same info I just posted - actually posted months ago. Thanks though.

So Riley's two full classes have averaged .8707 and .8758. Bo's full classes ranged from .8580 to .8832. Bo has more classes to this point. Some of his classes have been better than Riley's, some have been worse. Riley has been right in the same range where Bo was.

Can you admit Mikes are on the up and up and Bo's fell off a cliff?
Also, if you look up, you'll see i posted those averages before you did, today at least.

[StPaulHusker]

Riley is showing an upward trend in recruiting. He and his coaching staff are far and away more enthusiastic about recruiting. They also use Lincoln as an asset and not a detriment to getting players to commit.

Bo was not better than Mike in any of these areas.

 

[NUance]

Let me know when you start posting info again...

You usually disappear when I post info because you don't have a argument against it.

But anyway, this is from a thread that has been going for over a year. It was brought up that average ranking may be a better indication that class ranking. the reasoning for that is it - to some extent - corrects for different class sizes.

First, I'm a big fan of Mike Riley and I think he is a better recruiter than Bo. But the numbers you post here don't seem to support that. In fact, I'd always thought Callahan was a better recruiter than Bo. But really there's not much of a difference between the three. I don't know what to make of that.

:

One thing about Bo, he was better at filling gaps with JUCOs. He pulled in quite a few highly ranked JUCOs who became key players on his teams. That strategy worked especially well for Bo since he seemed very reluctant to let freshmen or even sophomores on the field. Riley and staff aren't going after JUCOs the way Bo did. But Riley seems more willing to let underclassmen see more action earlier. So there's that.
