Finding consensus among recruiting rankings is a difficult task. But that’s the goal of the Recruiting Services Consensus Index (RSCI), which has been combining rankings from various services from since 1998.
The RSCI (pronounced “risky”) rankings are calculated as such:
1. The process begins with a single top 100 list from one of the experts.
2. The players listed are assigned points based on their position on that list. The top ranked player is given 100 points, #2 gets 99 points, #3 gets 98, and so on with #100 getting 1 point.
