FCS RECRUITING: 2019 Top 300 Signees

HERO Sports is giving you a feel for all things FCS recruiting.

How did we come to this conclusion?

• The Top 300 is below …
• This isn’t the 247Sports “star” rating formula, or Rivals.com. It’s only based on scholarship offers. If you held at least three FCS offers? You added bonus points to your school’s ranking. But no matter what? If you signed with your school, you helped in the ranking below in our formula.
• This is based ONLY on incoming true freshmen (high school or prep school). Mixing true freshmen with transfers evaluation is “apples and oranges” in our estimation. Our JUCO and FBS/FCS transfer rankings will come this summer after spring ball has cleared and all transfers have been announced by schools. We separate those rankings. Teams that choose to go heavily the transfer route will get that recognition later when all of the transfer news has finalized.
• We consider all D-1 scholarship offers of the 2,500 or so FCS signees … P5 offers? FBS offers? FCS? How many? And if you signed with your favorite school? The offers are “tiered” and you helped the “score” because we gave credence to quantity AND quality. Once again, everybody who signed with an FCS school helped their school’s rating in the formula.
• Conferences like the NEC and Pioneer League — who tend to sign players late into the later NCAA national signing period until May — will be ranked as a conference at a later date when their full classes have gone public, though some of their players are recognized in our individual signee rankings.
