<p>Prep Dig released their Class of 2025 National Rankings last week and with that comes recruiting class rankings. What programs are making waves in the recruiting world? Who is getting a steal? What programs are bringing in large classes? We have all the details with #1 – #50 in the Class of 2025 recruiting classes. </p>

<p><strong>How are these determined? </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There is no science, there is no formula, it's a gray area. Do we look at the entire class or just the top one or two in the class? Do we value the immediate impact they will have as freshmen or do we look at what they could do in their entire year? What about the combination of players coming in along with the players they already have? What's the answer? A little bit of all of the above. These recruiting rankings will be based on the level of players coming in and what they can collectively do as a class. Some classes have two coming, others four or five (some more). There are some classes that are small, but could have an immediate impact. </p>
