Limitations

Recruiting information is retrieved by scraping 247Sports annual composite recruit rankings, however, this comes with some known limitations.

• For efficiency in searching for a recruit's name in the rankings, I'm only looking through the first 5 pages(top 250 recruits). If you want to change this, replace the maxPage constant with a value of your choosing.

  const maxPage = 5;

  • There's a max of ~10 pages with 50 recruits per page

• Inconsistencies in the player's name on ESPN and 247Sports may lead to the script not finding the player's ranking.
