RPM was released to the public in December. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college.
It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.
At the moment, Ohio State’s 2024 recruiting class contains one commitment. However, the Buckeyes’ pledge is Chandler (Ariz.) five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola, the No. 1 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus.
Baker has an On3 NIL Valuation of $59K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
