That is the actual roster, not just some average of classes of people who signed. It also may be why the 2024 one isnt out, with another portal window opening.
I do agree that there are some problems with it. For instance, if you are a 5 star player who fails at Penn State, Clemson or Miami then transfers to Douchebag, you should be rated again in the transfer portal as appropriate (likey 2 or 3 star depth) vs a player who does well in Sunbelt and transfers, maybe you are a 4 star now instead of 2 or 3. I THINK Ive seen a star rating in the transfer portal now, a new rating, as they always did with jucos.
However it is still a metric of TALENT. It doesn't mean deveoloped talent. That is up to the coaches, obviously, and neither Dbag nor Potato can make this 7-15 rated talent perform like top 20 talent.
Yes, it’s a gross average of those signed but it doesn’t re-rate the guys who stay.
There we were just behind Michigan last year. Talent isn’t elite level but it’s a lot better than 5-7.
