The complete list of the Hot 100 Players (2017’s) has been released and below you’ll find which college programs did the best in pulling in these elite players but there’s a HUGE CAVEAT: this is a very premature and incomplete list because there are 15 uncommitted players and an unknown number of committed prospects who will likely switch schools before they ultimately sign.
Still, it’s fun to see who’s doing well at this point in recruiting top 2017 players!
The Top 25 recruiting classes list – which, as you’ll see goes much deeper that just 25 colleges here!!! –is based on the Hot 100 prospects expected to sign with them per public verbals.
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.
