The data below is the "Enrolled Team Recruiting Rankings" from 2005 - 2009 from Rivals.com and Scout.com. The classes are then weighted and averaged (WA) as followed to give emphasis to the classes with more contributing players.
2005 - .15% - rSR
2006 - .35% - SR and rJR
2007 - .30% - JR and rSO
2008 - .15% - SO and rFR
2009 - .05% - FR
Observations
- The previous conference data has been pretty consistent between Rivals and Scout, but this data varies tremendously.
- Texas and Oklahoma are clearly the top two teams in terms of talent in the Big 12, but the two schools are flip-flopped on Rivals and Scout.
- I agree with the next 3 being Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M as well in terms of talent, but I definitely think the Aggies are a lot closer to 5th than 3rd.
- There is also a huge difference with Kansas who Scout ranks 11th and Rivals ranks 9th.
Overall, I think that Rivals did a much better job ranking the Big 12 than Scout outside of having Oklahoma slightly ahead of Texas.
It is very strange that the rankings vary so significantly between the two sites perhaps one of the sites gives more weight to JUCO players?
