Thanks! This is a great feature.

Kinda sad to see our best recruits are 239-240. I'm going to take the optimistic approach and say that our staff has done a better job of scouting than all of the recruiting sites. After these guys' senior seasons they will be ranked much higher than they are now.

If Scout and ESPN are weighted the same as 247 & Rivals..."Houston, we have a problem."

It would be most interesting to see who all comprise the contributors to this.

I would think that this would skew the results somewhat towards the players from the states and area universities that typically have most of the talent, e.g., FL, CA, OH, TX, GA.

I agree... I like the composite rankings, they give good insight about the national perspective across the board but would like the team rankings to default to 247sports only on the main page. OR... each user could decide which they would like to see as their default in their personal settings or something.

So, in effect, these 247 rankings just became the captive of Scout and their incessant reliance on total number of recruits rather than the quality of the recruits.

Otherwise, why on earth would we now be seventh in the B1G ratings? It's ridiculous that you'd sublimate your own opinions/ratings to the ratings of ESPN/Rivals/Scout, which now dominate your ratings.

there's one 2-star there as well.

Uh ... no. We aren't captive to anything.

We use the composite individual player ratings to determine the team rankings. Has nothing to do with how other services calculate their team rankings. Just takes into account other services individual player ratings. The reason Nebraska appears to be so low is that 247Sports generally thinks more highly of NU's recruits than anyone else in the industry.

Our ratings are on the top of the player page, the composite is below. Our rankings will display individually on the commit lists as well. Shannon tweated about that today.

247 is the only one I really trust. But, it is a neat feature none the less, and shows 247 has what others don't. There's 247, then there's the rest.

Great. New. Content.

You guys did this just to make yourselves look and be better than "the other sites."

Oh yeah, that's why we're members here.
