National Average Rating

The National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services, along with a Inside Pack Sports rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect, which is then normalized to fit the Inside Pack Sports Rating 100-point scale.

The intent of this rating is to provide Inside Pack Sports readers with a comprehensive snapshot of how individual prospects rank nationally.
