Recruiting Class Rankings
2026 teams ranked by total market value of incoming committed transfers. Incoming class only. See PPI for net roster change including departures.
How are classes ranked?
Each class value is the sum of estimated market values for every transfer committed to that team this cycle. The model weighs position, production, conference, eligibility remaining, and recruiting pedigree.
- Class Value: total value of incoming commits
- Commits: incoming committed transfers
- Avg Value: class value divided by commits
- Headliner: the class's most valuable player
