I'd be curious what each players' HOT score is (HOT = Hulk Offer Theory).  I forgot the exact scoring, but each offer from a decent school gives the recruit points; offers from elite schools are worth more points.  There are dangers involved (for example, players reporting non-commitable offers while others under-reporting, and some teams being offer whores while others are more, um, selective, but HOT has had a pretty good track record, as it represents the wisdom of the guys whose job is on the line to get recruiting right.  Usually a highly ranked recruit with a disproportionately low set of offers (Jamari Roberts is a good example) is set up to be a bust, while recruits whose offers exceed their recruiting profile (I think Jonathan Martin might be a good example), are often stars.
