recruiting class

New player group

A recruiting class is the group of new players committed to a college sports program in a single recruitment cycle, typically a year: This year's recruiting class is the strongest in program history.

The term appears most often in football and basketball, where programs compete intensely for top high school talent.

A strong recruiting class signals a program's future competitiveness.
