Top 25 Recruiting Classes – 2016’s (9/28)
Top 25 Recruiting Classes – 2016’s (9/28)

We’ve compiled our list of the Hot 100 Players (2016’s) and based on these 100 standouts look at what universities did the best in pulling in these elite players.
Here’s our list of the top programs based on the Hot 100 players who are expected to sign with them. This was done on a point system where the higher ranking players received more points. Each player’s point was based on a scale: the No. 1 player received 100 points, No. 2 had 99, No. 3 had 98, etc.
There are five uncommitted players in the Hot 100 who account for 358 points so this will obviously have a big impact on the rankings when they commit!
Finally, note that these team rankings does not account for the players who are NOT in the Hot 100 which will impact the overall recruiting classes, which we will detail at another time.
