For the first time this spring, Mike Elko and the Texas Aggies were back on the gridiron as spring football has officially begun. Following the open portion of A&M's first spring practice, Richard Zane shares a few observations on what he saw from the Maroon & White.
The TexAgs 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 TexAgs rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect,
which is then normalized to fit the TexAgs Rating 100-point scale.
The intent of this rating is to provide TexAgs readers with a comprehensive snapshot of
how individual prospects rank nationally.
