I saw that Perfect Game updated the incoming class rankings and has this year's frosh class at #20 overall and #18 in average rating per player.
That's also higher than previously.
However, there is no date on the ranking so I don't know when it was done. I would presume after players signed from the draft or not but it's not clear.
(The number 20 ranking is one behind LaSalle, which lists 36 signees. Stanford has 11. Stanford has 40 on its roster in total.)
For next year's class, Perfect Game has Stanford's class fallen to #8 overall (was #3), but is #1 in average player rating.
That 2026 class currently has 5 in the top 100. An earlier version had 7 or 8.
The rankings are: 6, 26, 70, 72, 85, 129, 140, 274, 322, 500 (500 basically means unranked).
Remember that a decent fraction of the top 100 players sign from the draft and never end up in college.
For comparison, for last year's frosh class, they had Stanford's top recruits as Charlie Bates at #24 and Tatum Marsh at #228.
[The Perfect Game website is weird. One can always see rankings from past classes but most of the time the rankings of future classes is behind the paywall - but not always ... and not today.]
