Actually I have a pretty good idea about where we would rank based on who other teams are trying to land and how many spots they have open. My statement remains correct. If we end up signing a reasonably large class we will drop far below the 4th highest recruiting average. Since you seem to be so sure of yourself do you want to place a ban bet? That we don't end up with the 4th highest ranked class by average, if we sign over 19 kids?
First of all we're not signing 19 HS kids. We need portal room. The fact that you would try to engineer a bet where it's only on if an extreme version of the event occurs which favors your opinion is... well, commendable. But you're going to need to find a sucker to take that one. You missed the mark when you tried to size me up.
Secondly you've gone from "reasonably sized class" to "reasonably large class" lol. Moving the old goalposts, eh? Again, you should check the water depth before you dive in.
Third of all you said that if we landed "2 five-stars, around 8 four-stars, and 2 or 3 three-stars" that our recruiting average would
"plummet." So I went and spent five minutes and did the math.
The average 5 star has a .9942 rating (2)
The average 4 star has a .9366 rating (8)
The 3 stars go on forever, and Mario isn't signing the 1200th ranked kid, so I used the .873 rating of the 600th kid in the rankings - probably still too low as they start at #377 (2).
Guess what? Those 12 kids on their own would have a .9355 avg rating, and SAY, WHAT DO YOU KNOW, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY RAISE OUR CLASS AVERAGE. So no, our average would not "plummet." Wrong again.
Ok I've grown bored with this. Kind of sad that you would try to engineer some mental gymnastics to tear down the incredible job Mario is doing, but there's all kinds out there. Have a great evening. Go Canes.
