On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine: Kyler Kasper set to commit Sunday

Gilbert (Ariz.) Williams Field four-star wide receiver Kyler Kasper is set to make his college commitment in less than 24 hours on Easter Sunday, announcing his decision date Saturday on Twitter.

At the time Kasper announced his decision time, the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine favored Tennessee. The Vols sat at 66.0%, coming after a visit to Rocky Top last weekend. Oregon was in second place at 31.4% with his father’s alma mater, Iowa, a very distant third.

On3 National Recruiting Analyst Sam Spiegelman upped his confidence level on the Ducks from 50% to 75%. That caused the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine to adjust, giving Oregon the edge and sit at 52%, while Tennessee now sits at 45%.

RPM was released to the public in December. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college. 

It factors in machine learning, expert predictions, social sentiment, visits, and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.

Announcing my Commitment Tomorrow at 12pm MST!

Kyler Kasper is a top target for the Volunteers

Long Beach (Calif.) Long Beach Poly five-star quarterback Nico Iamaleava is the crown jewel of the Tenneesee recruiting class. And the top-five overall prospect wants to play with Kyler Kasper.

Kasper is No. 122 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Phoenix Pinnacle five-star tight end Duce Robinson and Chandler (Ariz.) four-star defensive lineman A’mauri Washington are the two players from Arizona ranked ahead of Kasper in the 2023 cycle.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $26k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
