I assume many others have also received Andy Noel's recent email about football's "most amazing recruiting class in years".

Not all of us.  What did Andy say?

I dont know what the email was but there has been a lot of enthusiasm for the recruiting class on the football board

[Ken711]

I assume many others have also received Andy Noel's recent email about football's "most amazing recruiting class in years".

Did it describe the size of the class, what else did it say?

[CAS]

Andy's letter unfortunately didn't provide any details about the class.

Those details typically come in May or June, after the candidates have accepted the official offers of admissions and the deadlines for accepting offers at comparable schools have passed.

Are the Ivy classes rated anywhere similar to those ubiquitous ratings of D-1 classes?  Not to be snarky, but do Ivy recruits register on the national recruiting scene at all?

It would be very interesting to see the equivalent of the 4, 3, etc star ratings for our class as compared with our opponents.

FWIW, you can look a some of the Rival rated recruits for each school.  Harvard and Penn have the most "3 and 2" star recruits in the Ivy League.

Wow, that's sobering. Maybe the only saving grace is that the lists are incomplete. (No Ur on ours.) Until the lists are final, we won't know if this omission favors us or not.

[phillysportsfan]

That list is far from complete, http://www.voy.com/152805/85394.html

[mountainred]

Incomplete and probably not overly accurate.  The difference between a two star and a three star player is often whether the guy is on the radar of a FBS school.  The difference between a two star and no star is often whether someone shared video with Rivals and if the administrator from some school's board presses the issue.  I've seen more than one kid go from no stars to three the moment WVU offers.

Not saying's Penn and Harvard's classes won't prove to be more talented.  But Rivals is in business to appeal to the rabid fan bases of top 20 football programs.  I'm guessing they lose very sleep ranking Ivy-caliber talent.
