Inside the numbers - Texas Tech 2017 recruiting class

With the Rivals.com national team updating the prospect rankings earlier this month and the recent run of seven (7) new 2017 commitments for the Red Raiders in the month of June alone, it's time to take a closer look at the numbers and break down where this Texas Tech recruiting class stacks up in the overall team rankings.

Each prospect is assigned a set number of points based on their Rivals Rating (RR). The amount of points per prospect ranges from 150 points for a 6.1 five-star prospect down to 15 points for a 5.2 two-star prospect.

In addition to the points assigned per Rivals Rating (RR), the prospects ranked in the Rivals250 national rankings receive bonus points depending on where they are listed from 1-250. For example, the No. 1 prospect in the country adds +100 bonus points and the No. 250 prospect in the country adds +3 points.

Currently, this Texas Tech 2017 recruiting class ranks as the No. 25 overall class in the nation and the No. 3 overall class in the Big12 conference.
