Same here as far as class size goes - having a deeper pool to draw from is an advantage, even if it feels a little “unfair” to penalize a school for getting more recruits. More recruits means a better chance to contest a title.
Not sure I have a solution off the top of my head but I find the class size conversation super interesting. If you just want to rate the classes as they stand now I think it matters less, but if you are a coach and really trying to project class contributions to the team roughly 2-3 years from now it would make intuitive sense to bias towards larger class sizes given the inexact nature of 17 year old player development. Would love to see more research on that topic
