Hey Hoyas, I used to keep up a NC State Basketball Recruiting Chart over at PackPride (the NC State Scout boards) which combined all the links and ratings from Scout, ESPN, and Rivals. It got difficult to maintain by hand, so I automated the process, and threw a basic UI together and put it up on the web. I did the same for all the other schools while I was automating it. I started cleaning up the rosters on my fellow ACC teams first, and then moved on to the Big East. My fellow ACC fans seemed to like it a lot, so I hope you will find it useful as well. Anyway, here is the Georgetown page, let me know if you see any corrections, or have any questions. verbalcommits.com/schools/16 |

Some of the recruiting info might be off, but good job overall.

Some of the recruiting info might be off, but good job overall. Thanks. As for the recruiting data, I grab all the "offers" from ESPN, Rivals, and Scout. So if their data is off, my data is off as well. Not too much I can do about that in an automated fashion.  |

Oh, and Mods, thanks for moving this thread to the appropriate forum, my apologies for missing that you guys had a forum dedicated to recruiting specifically.

Philawolf, how often do you run your script to grab today? This is very cool -- great job and neat service.

Philawolf, how often do you run your script to grab today? This is very cool -- great job and neat service. Right now, I just run my script once daily for ESPN and Scout, and weekly for Rivals, but I'm hoping to get Rivals to a daily basis soon. Seems like daily is often enough so far, but maybe I'll go "real-time" once I fix all the rosters outside the Big East and ACC.  |

Daily seems more than fine. I was just curious.

I figure this can just go here instead of making new threads but Villanova visitors appear to have consisted of:

Is it surprising that with this fun and overacheiving season that we havent landed more top recruits? Does this board think that we will have a monster 2013 class? When will some of the next hoya recruits drop??

Hey Hoyas I just wanted to give you some updates: For those of you who were having issues with the size of the chart being too large and having to scroll left to right, I've made a fix so that viewing the page should be easier with no scrolling. The rankings are now in lock-step with ESPN, Scout and Rivals. I've now put in place a process that checks for new rankings nightly, so they should stay in sync. I've also added the change between the current rankings and the previous rankings for each player. I've added a check for changes in the star value for each player's profile at Scout, Rivals and ESPN, so issues with the star values being "stale" for players should now be addressed. I've added the team committed to for the player ranking pages, and addressed the issue where the 2013 rankings weren't showing up properly. I've also added twitter profiles for every ranked recruit (overall or by position) that I could find for the classes of 2012 and 2013. Take a look and let me know what you think. verbalcommits.com/schools/16 |
