247Composite Rating
The 247Composite Rating is a proprietary algorithm that compiles prospect "rankings" and "ratings" listed in the public domain by the major media recruiting services. It converts average industry ranks and ratings into a linear composite index capping at 1.0000, which indicates a concensus No. 1 prospect across all services.
The 247Composite Rating is the industry's most comprehensive and unbiased prospect ranking and is also used to generate 247Sports Team Recruiting Rankings.
All major media services share an equal percentage in the 247Composite Rating.
The composite index equally weights this percentage among the services that participate in a ranking for that specific prospect.
A composite strength meter, indicated by red bars, illustrates the total number of industry services that have ranked the prospect. A full strength meter indicates the prospect has been ranked by all industry services participating in the composite.
All industry services have a different philosophy on number of "stars" distributed with each class. The 247Composite Rating assigns stars based on an approximate average distribution of stars from the industry.

Great idea, next logical step would be team rankings.

Check out Willis' page. Our rankings are right there at the top. Underneath is the composite - which takes into account other major industry sites. The 247Composite allows you to get a feel for what kind of player we think he is - and in the same place you can see where he fits according to the major sources in the industry.
We think he's the No. 3 corner. The composite says he's the No. 4 corner, so we like him a little more than the rest. We think he's the No. 22 player in the nation. The composite says 26. We basically all agree that he is the No. 1 player in Arizona.
No need to go to all other sites and see what they think, because we summarize it for you in one spot - along with his twitter mentions, photos, videos, timeline events, etc. One-stop shopping.

16 teams have at least 1 player in the top 50. Nebraska doesn't even have a guy in the top 200... that scares me.

This is merely a tool to show us the "national" perspective. It doesn't change how 247 rates players. IMO this will skew the ratings towards the players from states that have most of the talent, e.g., Johnny Stanton rated #16 when he is clearly much better than that. Don't expect this to bolster NU's recruits rankings, in fact we see it has lowered rankings more than it raised: 2 to 1.
Still, this is solid content. I'm sure that 247 will tweak this as they continue to innovate.
