Here's a picture of our recruiting "big board":

[docbradley]

I was bored so I designed a recruiting bigboard. For any of the other stat geeks on the board, let me have some suggestions of things to add.

Sorry I wanted to get into the picture posting. :(

Its a little bit selective. I mean technically, we do have offers out to undecided folks like Khaled Holmes and T.J. Bryant, but you didn't include them.

Also you might want to re-examine some of the star rankings you assigned. For instance, Patchan has 4 stars via rivals, not 5. There are a couple other instances like that as well. Other than that I'm fresh out of suggestions. But it looks pretty darn good.

[scooper]

Nice, doc. Reps.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Megadittos

[Svoboda]

Neat Idea.

I'm pretty sure I could automate this and add it to our ranking sections to go along with my Multi Ranking tool.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

The old ladies? Can you make their arms move, and the mouths say I've fallen and I can't get up?

[docbradley]

I have it all automated with excel formulas so that all you have to do is fill in the names, rankings, and states and it fills in the rest. I've also made a giant one that compares every school's recruiting classes from 2002-2007 on both networks. That one changes every day but if you're into mundane statistics, it'll get you where you need to go.

If you want the Excel file for this one let me know, I can get it to you.

I'm still trying to figure out why the old lady lived in a shoe.

Get that giant one up on the site, I'm sure it could be updated frequently. It would also keep me up to date on other schools' recruiting without having to devote time to it.:) If nothing else, I'm sure just this year's recruiting would be great, and the other years can be put somewhere separately.

We should put each board as a sticky in the recruiting forum.

[NDgrandson]

Wow. docbradley, may I ask what you do? I like that.

? Aren't we looking at Filer as an ILB?

[Fishin'_Irish]

We should put each board as a sticky in the recruiting forum.

That's what I was thinking. It would be a great, compact way to see everything at once. Reps for this, Doc.

I'm a chiropractor that had a boring weekend and, like most of you, is addicted to football recruiting. I somewhat guessed on some of the positions (because of my limited knowledge of the 3-4 and what is needed) but the recruits can easily be moved around on the chart. I also tried to stick to recruits that I thought we had a chance at. If I read a story on a recruit that I thought was "cold" on ND and indications are otherwise, I add him to the board. As some of the positions fill up, I also remove names from the board. It really is a fluid process this way.

Let me know who I should email it to and it will be out in due time.



p.s. It's a pleasure to be on the board with you fine gents.

[notredomer23]

good job doc

[stonebreakerwasgod]

No doubt.

[daytonirish]

Hey doc great job, would love to see you post the teams we play and how they're doing.

[GhostSpirit]

Impressive doc.

[BDirish4ever]

Excellent work but I think one of the running backs (Thomas or Williams) will more than likely try to commit. CW will more than likely accept it.

[docbradley]

Updated the board.

[daytonirish]

Thanks doc I like the way you have worked things out. Here's hoping we get the remaining players you suggest.

[SpanishElite]

I really like the big board. You did some good work on it, and its really easy to see and read. Good work.

[docbradley]

Thanks fellas. Always good to promote a fellow irish fan's addiction. Throw me some suggestions if you've got them. (ways to compare teams, etc.)
