TrackingFootball has researched the B1G Conference’s recruiting for the past two years and applied our proprietary Player Athletic Index (PAI) scores to each recruit. We applied PAI scores which measure a player’s overall athleticism based on height, weight, position, track & field data and multi-sport information.
By comparing like data points we can arrive at objective scores evaluating each player’s general athleticism and more importantly we can compare each player athletically to other Division I players at the same position. The PAI scoring scale is 0 to 5.0 (0 being marginal and 5.0 being exceptional) measuring a player’s height, weight, power and speed combination at a specific position. The PAI system is based on thousands of Division I players and the scores represent Division I level combination of size, power and speed.
