UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

Since we're inching closer to the end of the cycle for 2025-2026 freshman recruits, I thought I'd take a look at the NZ recruiting rankings. Lowell currently ranked 13th in the country and 4th in Hockey East behind BU, Maine, and Providence. I'd like to know how much the site weighs the number of recruits a team has in the overall formula. We're definitely on the higher end with 14.

It simply adds the average star rating for each recruit and sums the result. So it is cheesy by default.

However, if you sort by average star rating it is a better indicator of on average how good your recruits are for that class.

When you do that you will see Lowell drops to middle of the pack. And the normal power house schools are at the top(Michigan, BU, North Dakota, etc…).
