The MLB Draft went about as expected for Monte Lee and his staff. They lost some key pieces, like Logan Davidson who was picked in the first round. Replacing that talent is the highest priority heading into the fall.
The National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an
industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes
publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services,
along with a Clemson Sports Talk rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect,
which is then normalized to fit the Clemson Sports Talk Rating 100-point scale.
The intent of this rating is to provide Clemson Sports Talk readers with a comprehensive snapshot of
how individual prospects rank nationally.
