There are ratings sites/services that rank the top recruiting classes in the nation. Any idea how Bradley's recruiting class would rank in the above Valley list?
There are no reliable sites that I've found that rate recruiting classes every year for the MVC or for any midmajor conference.
The only site I know of that compares MVC teams is Verbalcommits.com. They rate teams' players based on the average number of stars they received on these 3 recruiting sites- Rivals, Scout, and ESPN. Here is Elijah Childs-
https://verbalcommits.com/players/elijah-childs
He got a 3.0 because of the 3-star rating that Elijah got on Rivals, though Scout and ESPN did not give him any rating.
Note their 2-star ranking for Malevy Leons-
https://verbalcommits.com/players/malevy-leons
He got only a rating of 2.0 (their minimum) because he was not listed on any of the recruiting sites.
Here is how they compare the MVC teams according to Verbalcommits.com. Again, this includes all players on Bradley's roster-
https://verbalcommits.com/conferences/missouri-valley
However, their recruit ranking is flawed. First, it averages all the teams' recruits regardless of their year (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, grad), and any recruit that the recruiting sites overlook automatically get only 2-stars. Thus, quality recruits like Leons, Ekono, Ja'Shon Henry, etc, are always under-rated.
All of Bradley's players have gotten 2-stars on Verbalcommits, thus Bradley's average is 2.00.
