Do they really think summerall can grow into DE? We really need a stand up pass rusher at olb.

The formula they use looks to complicatedfor me to figure out, but here it is.

The collection of recruit's individual ratings are summed, but not in a uniform way ( which it looks like many people are assuming).  They are weighted using a Gaussian distribution, which may or may not be more valid.  If 2 teams have the same number of recruits, and an identical average composite rating....they would be equal if the distribution was uniform.  Since it is Gaussian, a team with more highly rated recruits is rewarded more than they are punished for having lower rated recruits.

My best attempt at an explanation.

No, I should probably change that.  I'm pretty sure he'll be an OLB for us.  

I usually go with what the recruiting sites list guys at unless I see for sure we're recruiting them for a different spot.  I guess I don't remember seeing anything specifically for him but he's got to be an OLB.

My head hurts.... that’s way to hard to follow.

Ahh yes, of course the Gaussian distribution system.....

*quickly googles what the f#&% that is*

Yeah, I get that. But isn't he listed as the #2 All-Purpose back in the country? 

(I'm starting to make to big of a deal about Severe's twitter rankings.)

Yeah, I understand what you're getting at.  and Held did help recruit Wandale.  But he looks to be going for true RBs in that list.
