I can't determine if 247 or Rivals value raw number of recruits vs stars more, both seem to have some really highly ranked teams that are mostly just huge piles of 3 stars.

I know some teams always seem to have larger than normal classes due to the way they "process out" the players who aren't cutting it. Classes that go past the normal 25 recruits per year get extra value, I suppose the talked about, proposed "4 year scholarship" might be something of a counter to this practice.

I know Saban takes a lot of criticism for this practice, but as long as he gets away with it he will do it, and as long as recruits are willing to risk making the squad at Bama, it seems he will. If Hentges gets "processed out" he really has no one to blame but himself.

No doubt that raw volume of commits affects 247 class rankings. I couldn't sort it by average ratings, but looking at it manually, it seemed we were in the upper 20's as opposed to upper 40's. Not bad with the class we have so far.

Three 4*'s out of thirteen commits helps that average. That's why I say I like our class so far, but hope we can finish strong instead of fizzling out.
