Texas Basketball Recruiting Chart

  • Hey Longhorns,

    I used to keep up a NC State Basketball Recruiting Chart over at PackPride (the NC State Scout boards) which combined all the links and ratings from Scout, ESPN, and Rivals. It got difficult to maintain by hand, so I automated the process, and threw a basic UI together and put it up on the web. I did the same for all the other schools while I was automating it.

    I started cleaning up the rosters on my fellow ACC teams first, and then moved on to the rest of the BCS conferences. My fellow ACC fans seemed to like it a lot, so I hope you will find it useful as well.

    BTW, I haven't gotten to validating the active rosters for schools outside the BCS conferences yet, so that data will be inaccurate due to red-shirts, prep schools, junior colleges and transfers.

    Anyway, here is the Texas page, (you can navigate to other schools at the top right, its a bit wonky, but it should work if you select the team then hit the "Go!" button).

    Let me know if you see any corrections, or have any questions. I'd also love to hear any suggestions you might have to improve the site as well; I'll try to implement them if I can keep my wife from leaving me for spending all my time working on this site.

    Hope you enjoy!

  • Do we have season stats in the commits? Without Ridley this class seems solid, but less than flattering. We really need another tall wing that can score. Devonta Pollard would fit nicely. If Ridley had gone ahead and signed his letter of intent it sure would have made recruiting the final piece that much easier.

    Sorry I dont have season stats on the recruits. I'll look to add it down the road.

  • Hey Longhorns,

    In an attempt to get my mind off this afternoon's game, and any bodily harm I might inflict on an ACC referee on behalf of my NC State Wolfpack, I decided I'd give you an update on the site:

    For those of you who were having issues with the size of the chart being too large and having to scroll left to right, I've made a fix so that viewing the page should be easier with no scrolling.

    The rankings are now in lock-step with ESPN, Scout and Rivals. I've now put in place a process that checks for new rankings nightly, so they should stay in sync. I've also added the change between the current rankings and the previous rankings for each player.

    I've added a check for changes in the star value for each player's profile at Scout, Rivals and ESPN, so issues with the star values being "stale" for players should now be addressed.

    I've added the team committed to for the player ranking pages, and addressed the issue where the 2013 rankings weren't showing up properly.

    I've also added twitter profiles for every ranked recruit (overall or by position) that I could find for the classes of 2012 and 2013.

    Take a look and let me know what you think.

    I still need to address some issues with the color of links for light colored primary color teams and colorblind disambiguation marks, but I thought I'd give you guys the updates.
