The 2025 class earned unanimous number one rankings from all three hosts. Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, Quinshon Judkins, and TreVeyon Henderson all scored above 76 on their pre-draft nerd scores. The 2023 class featuring Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs ranked second or third for most evaluators.

The 2024 class ranked dead last. Jonathon Brooks, Trey Benson, and Blake Corum headlined a weak group plagued by injuries. The 2026 class barely fares better, with Jeremiyah Love standing alone as an elite talent followed by a significant talent drop.
