so hey somebody who knows graphic design or whatever and is a recruiting nerd figure this out and sell it
make a chart broken down by position, and the average height, wt, 40 time, whatever measurable, broken down by the average signee in college football by division - 1A, FCS, D2, D3/NAIA etc.
this would be something we could all post up in the locker room to manage kids and parents expectation for their recruiting. So when the "why isn't my kid being recruited by Wisconsin?" question comes out...we can go look at the chart and say
"well you see here sir...your son is 5'2 and 365 lbs....the average recruit in Division 1 at guard is 6'3 and 315, your son runs the forty in 6.7...the average at his position is 5.0......"
see what I'm saying?
also if would give the kids some off season motivation maybe?
I could see how it might be a bad idea if you had some kids with off the charts measurables that sucked at football and just weren't being recruited much...but overall I think it might save us all some time.
we can call it the "dream shatterer"
let me know when it's done and how much

i saw one of these before. it was a measurables list, not in chart form. i copied it down and thought I still had it but cant seem to find it. was pretty good in terms of what your asking.
had a friend that was a HC for awhile. in the locker room he had cardboard cutouts for each position, in actual heights of d1 players, with weight listed on the body. each levels (d2,etc) he had a smaller body drawn on top of that cutout. took them to parent night so people could see what a d1-6-6 OL kid should look like in term of height. he said it always was a shock to people to see how big some players should be. I wanted to recreate it for along time, just never have.
going to keep looking for that measureables list I have.

This chart is pretty interesting. For the OP I don't know how much good a chart like this would do because it shows the outliers. So parents and players, especially the irrational ones, will look at it and say "The smalles D1 offensive lineman is 5'9" and 210 lbs, shoot I am (or my son) is 5'11" 225 he could be the next guard at Ball State." It's a weird balance because we as coaches understand that colleges are looking for specific measurables and a vast majority of recruits will fall into those rangers. Players and parents that don't understand or don't want to understand recruiting will use the numbers on that chart to justify false hopes. It's like people that know someone who lives to be a hundred that smokes and drinks every day and claim they might as well drink and smoke everyday because Ol Uncle Joe did and he made it past the century mark.
