Offensive Tackle Example
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
if (!requireNamespace('pacman', quietly = TRUE)){
install.packages('pacman')
}
pacman::p_load_current_gh("sportsdataverse/recruitR")
pacman::p_load(dplyr, ggplot2)
Let’s say that we are interested in seeing how many offensive tackles in the 2020 recruiting cycle were:
- located in Florida
- located in the states bordering Florida
- ranked inside the top 1000
FL_OTs <- cfbd_recruiting_player(2020, recruit_type = 'HighSchool', state='FL', position ='OT')
GA_OTs <- cfbd_recruiting_player(2020, recruit_type = 'HighSchool', state='GA', position ='OT')
AL_OTs <- cfbd_recruiting_player(2020, recruit_type = 'HighSchool', state='AL', position ='OT')
SE_OTs <- dplyr::bind_rows(FL_OTs, GA_OTs, AL_OTs)
SE_OTs_1k <- SE_OTs %>%
dplyr::filter(ranking < 1000) %>%
dplyr::arrange(ranking)
SE_OTs_1k %>%
dplyr::select(ranking, name, committed_to, position,
height, weight, stars, rating, city, state_province)

Plotting the Offensive Tackles by State
You can also create a plot:
SE_OTs_1k$stars <- factor(SE_OTs_1k$stars,levels = c(5,4,3,2))
SE_OTs_1k_grp <- SE_OTs_1k %>%
dplyr::group_by(state_province, stars) %>%
dplyr::summarize(players = dplyr::n()) %>%
dplyr::ungroup()
## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'state_province'. You can override using
## the `.groups` argument.
