Transfers have never counted that way,

Transferring is also different now. You’re trying to act like it’s the same. Back then, there were so few immediate play transfers.

Now there’s so many that they are getting rankings and star ratings. So there’s no reason they shouldn’t be included in overall recruiting rankings.

It is different, as in its not close to the same for every team, and can differ wildly for the same program from year to year, while recruiting out of high school is about the same.

It makes sense for them to remain apart, and thankfully the composite hasn't made the transition you are advocating for, though I am sure they will at some point, which will not justify it.

One thing I've noticed for the transfer rankings is it seems to ignore those transferring out, leading to a team that has a lot of churn looking better than it really is.

It would be interesting in an overall recruiting ranking (transfer and traditional) to compare that against the outgoing talent (graduating, NFL, transfers, kicked off the team). Then yours have a good idea if which way the team is trending.

But combining the two without that additional information doesn't really seem useful. I like keeping them separate, but would prefer they were ranked using net gain vs only counting the transfers in.
