[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 133476, member: 322"] Here in these three articles, Baseball America "reranks" the 2008, 2009 and 2010 classes. [URL]http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/revisiting-2010-recruiting-rankings/[/URL] [URL]http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/revisiting-2009-recruiting-class-rankings/[/URL] [URL]http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/revisiting-2008-recruiting-class-rankings/[/URL] Summary is that rankings for baseball, like star rankings for football are weakly predictive of later performance. 2010 - 17 of 25 classes are reranked in top 25 4 years later. 2009 - 16 of 25 classes are reranked in top 25 4 years later. 2008 - 13 of 25 classes are reranked in top 25 4 years later. Who would've thought? I thought only in football did the development after HS throw a wild card into things (tic obviously). 2010 - GT 2010 recruiting class was [B]ranked 7th and overall team produced at 17th level[/B]. Our ranking is hurt by poor post season performance. That may change this year! [I][B]"2010 rank: 7.[/B] Recruiting coordinator: Bryan Prince.
