Andy Staples: Re-ranking 2009 recruiting classes based on actual on-field production
College Football on Sports Illustrated &bull Yesterday
Recruiting rankings mean something, and at the top, they're fairly accurate. They tend to become less accurate near the bottom because of the business model that drives the industry. Teams with large, passionate fan bases sell more subscriptions, and sites that cover popular teams employ more recruiting writers. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, players who sign with popular schools tend to get ranked higher. But even that may be changing. Stanford finished No. 5 in the 2012 Rivals.com team rankings. A few years ago, the Cardinal wouldn't have cracked the top 15, but a team that beats out USC, Michigan and… Full Story »

Trojans hope small class doesn't limit their potential
Boise State Football on the Idaho Statesman &bull Feb 3, 2012
LOS ANGELES - Quality over quantity. That was the catch phrase USC preached to describe the even-smaller-than-expected recruiting class that football Coach Lane Kiffin announced after the Trojans' first foray into three years of scholarship restrictions. If targeted players went elsewhere, the Trojans stood pat. No need to reach and settle for second-tier talent, their theory went. Given that the Trojans can ill afford… Full Story »
