LEHIGH = 81
81 Patsy Points is a new record! The ChickenSquawks are giving the Patsy Rating a bad name. They are annually at or near the top in the Ratings, and annually are a beleaguered also-ran in the fall when it counts.
QUALITY = 38: 15 rated recruits. Details and a comparison with prior years:
2010: 15 Rated (54%); 3 two-stars, 1 “confirmed” (received two stars from each rating service)
2009: 11 Rated (42%); 2 two-stars
2008: 13 Rated (48%); 2 two-stars
2007: 10 Rated (34%); 1 two-star
CLASS SIZE = 6: A surprise (most expected fewer) 28 recruits.
DISTRIBUTION = 9: All the bases are covered.
SPEED = 12: Again, there is limited information for this category.
TRIGGER = 2: 1 recruit, a 2-star and the “confirmed” double-double mentioned above. The Patsy Ratings are heavily weighted for QBs. This single recruit contributed 8 points to Lehigh's total. The Squawks have little difficulty landing highly regarded QB recruits. You can’t hardly swing a dead cat along the Lehigh sideline without hitting a 2-star QB recruit. They now need to find one who can perform on Saturdays in the fall.
JUMBO = 3: 4 OL, 2 @ 270+; 3 DL, 1 @ 250+
NEEDS = 11
OL = 4 (of 5): 4 recruits, 2 rated, 2 Jumbos
RB = 4 (of 4): 4 recruits, 2 rated
DL = 3 (of 3): 3 recruits, 1 rated (a 2-star), 1 jumbo
THE COMMITTEE’S ADJUSTMENTS = 0
THE RATINGS RACE With 4 To Go:
81 Lehigh
60 Lafayette
28 Fordham
