Interesting. What type of sources do you have for this even? The ESPN top250 for recruits? What about returning players?
Really I'm about 1% of my way into this so it's all fluid now. I was thinking ESPN for recruits (a composite source would probably be better except it could change from year to year - I'd rather be consistent).
Most other things are coming from Phil Steele's site (which is a god awful site btw). It has returning starters, and a lot of breakdowns like yards returning, # of each class returning, etc.
Alright, I'm ready for you to create a preseason table, and I have 5 years of data ready to upload (other years are missing some data in the games table so we'll need to backfill those).
Here's a brief overview of the fields I'm using so far for:
If you have other ideas of metrics we could use let me know! And feel free to rename columns, add a key, whatever.
I still need to put this together, just wanted to float the idea. It would be a few years of data (maybe 5-10, then adding new years going forward).
