Recruiting profiles vs. college rosters
A player can have a recruiting record, a school association, and a college profile. Those facts do not all mean the same thing.
Class year is recruiting context
A class-year field describes the recruiting cohort attached to the record. It is not automatically the athlete’s current academic year, remaining eligibility, or present enrollment. Older recruiting information can remain useful after a player enters college.
A commitment is not an active-roster check
School associations can reflect commitments or past source observations. Transfers and enrollment changes can make them out of date. Starproofed’s school lists describe tracked profiles associated with a school and should not be presented as a complete, verified roster or payroll.
We separate source classifications
The college football directory uses the source’s College classification. Recruiting-source profiles are separate, and unknown classifications remain unknown. This is more specific than assuming every player with a college name is enrolled there; it still depends on the source’s freshness.
Read rankings in their context
A recruiting rank is tied to its sport, class, and ranking system. An NIL list orders the estimates available in a tracked selection. Neither establishes a player’s current on-field performance rank. Use explicit populations and source dates when sharing a table.
