Oregon surges in team rankings following latest pair of commitments
Over the past several days, Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks have continued to add to a 2024 recruiting class that is shaping up to be one of the best in the nation.
On Sunday the Ducks landed a commitment from in-state 3-star offensive lineman Devon Brooks. The Clackamas High standout is the No. 524 player in the nation and the No. 38 offensive lineman, according to the On3 Industry Ranking.
A little over 24 hours later, Oregon received a pledge from Mater Dei (Calif.) receiver Jack Ressler. A 3-star recruit, Ressler is the No. 1,111 overall prospect and No. 157 receiver in his class.
The Ducks now have 16 commits from the 2024 class — 10 of whom are 4-stars, and six of whom are 3-stars.
Heading into last weekend, they boasted the No. 10 class in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Ranking.
Now, after the commitments of Brooks and Ressler, Oregon has surged to No. 9 with a score of 91.253. They jumped past LSU (91.219) and narrowly trail No. 8 South Carolina (91.714).
More on the On3 Industry Ranking
The On3 Industry Ranking is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. The On3 Industry Ranking is the industry’s most advanced, complete and unbiased measurement.
The On3 Industry Ranking weights the primary recruiting media services based on past performance data, and overall scouting and recruiting coverage investment.
For football, the algorithm is weighted as follows: On3 (35%), 247Sports (35%), Rivals.com (20%) and ESPN (10%).
For basketball, the algorithm equally weights On3, 247Sports, Rivals.com and ESPN at 25%.
The On3 Industry Rating and Ranking increases the total number of 5-stars and 4-stars seven times throughout the recruiting cycle, concluding with 32 5-stars for football and 20 for basketball. This solves for the problem of awarding 5-star ratings too early in the recruiting process to meet predefined quotas. With each passing month in the cycle, scouts in the industry have more data, information and scouting opportunities to evaluate better and project prospects. This process is referenced by the Industry “Strength” meter in the database. Listed below is the football star ranking update schedule:
