In February, the Epoch Times’ How Accurate are Rivals.com Rankings? followed what happened to the Rivals class of 2010 five years after they enrolled in their respective colleges. In this segment, we would like to extend that analysis to Rivals’ 2009 class.

First, we will list the entire 2009 Rivals top 100 with an added column for when the players were drafted, and if they weren’t drafted, their current/last known whereabouts. Afterwards, we will conduct further analysis to access the accuracy of the 2009 rankings.
