Ivy League Recruiting

  1. the point is, except in football, that number can change year to year. Remember where this started. The jumping off point was that recruiting classes were “completed” in sophomore year.

  2. No, it is it set by the AD. It begins with the AI average of the preceding matriculating class. How an AD and coach can set that number three years in advance is unknown to me. During my son’s junior spring, no Ivy coach knew what the AI targets would be for the next class until shortly after May 1. Did they have a range? Sure. Everyone knew within two or three AI points where the various numbers would be. But again, you are not talking about projecting one class into the future, but two or three.

  3. Yes, the AI floor applies to all atheletes.
