A 247Composite look at Nebraska

  • http://nebraska.247sports.com/Article/247Composite-provides-new-look-at-Husker-commits-82798

    Nebraska adds a new four-star under the 247Composite rankings. Find out how the team recruiting stacks up with the new rating system.

  • 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 would much rather the default view on the "Commits" page be the 247 Ranking alone, with the Composite available within. That's just me.

    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.

  • To clarify: I love this. This is a step someone in the industry needed to take. I understand each service wants customers to prefer their settings, but it's in our best interest to get a vantage point of more than one service. I'm glad 247 is the first to acknowledge the other services to such an extent. It's a great step, and really just one more reason to use 247's database of players.

    With that said, I prefer 247's rankings for the most part. They are far more transparent, they're subject to frequent updates, and I feel like the biases aren't as strong here. Because of that, I think the 247 rankings should be the default.

    I love the new feature, but I love 247's rankings far more than any other.

    I'd have to agree with you.

  • 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.

    If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

  • Why does it say we have 7 4 stars and 4 three stars? Thought we had 12 recruits.

    And why are the classes listed by points instead of average? If we go by average we have the No 22 class. Isnt that what this is all about...the average?

    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.

    agreed

    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.

    Thx. We still evaluate players and I trust ours more than anyone. Just giving fans more info in one place to get a feel for what others think of the prospect, too. It's cool to see the outliers, IMO. Guys we have ranked higher than others - and lower than others.

    And that's how I execute every fantasy draft i've ever been in. My list, compared to Average Draft Position, and target the good outliers to find ultimate value.
