Mercer Recruiting Predictions
Tue, 3rd February, 2009 - Posted by |
Interesting model put together by the brains at the Stetson School of Business & Economics at Mercer University that attempts to predict the decisions of the remaining uncommitted recruits.
According to their model, Greg Reid and Jarvis Jones (!!!) will be Dawgs so it is definitely more for entertainment value than anything else.
The relevant recruits:
Greg Reid:
- Georgia – 43%
- Florida State – 28.2%
- Alabama – 24.6%
- Auburn - 2.8%
- Mississippi State – 1.4%
Marlon Brown
- Tennessee – 23.9%
- Ole Miss – 18.9%
- Florida – 16.0%
- Georgia - 15.5%
Orson Charles
- Florida – 30.9%
- Florida State – 24.5%
- USC – 18.2%
- Georgia - 14.5%
- Tennessee - 11.9%
Jarvis Jones
- Georgia – 27.5%
- Florida – 20.3%
- Auburn – 18.2%
- USC - 15.6%
- LSU - 13.1%
Jawanza Starling
- Florida – 22.8%
- Florida State – 20.9%
- Stanford – 12.8%
- Georgia - 12.3%
- USC- 12.0%

That’s interesting. Where we’re ranked with MB, OC, and JJ is different from what most “experts” are saying. I’ve been hearing JJ is a long shot, MB is 50/50 at best and OC is a good possibility. I haven’t heard much about the Starling kid. Smart move adding him to the list thought.
Yeh, I found this interesting as well. Recruiting is such an emotional practice. It’s interesting to see it prognosticated through numbers.
@dean Yeah, I’m thinking these predictions have a shot at getting Greg Reid and Marlon Brown right but not anyone else. Still, interesting to see someone attempt to apply some method to the madness. And yes, Starling won’t be excluded from any posts about recruiting thru tomorrow
@Bernie Yeah, it’s interesting stuff for sure. I bet it keeps getting more and more accurate as they fine tune their formula.
Sorry, that last word was suppose to though not thought. That’s a Pickens education for ya.
Holy crap I need to stop typing. The last word was suppose to be though not thought. Geeeezzz! Hopefully I’m finished now.
@dean The Interwebs forgive you! I did get a comment the other day that’s sole purpose was to inform me of a misspelling I had in a post.
