» 2014 247Composite prospect rankings | 2014 Team Rankings
In an effort to communicate a more accurate evaluation of prospects and recruiting classes for fans, 247Sports launched the 247Composite rating/ranking system for college football and basketball recruiting.
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 consensus 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.
More details
-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 networks 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.
-The 247Composite will update as major media outlets update their prospect rankings throughout the recruiting cycle.
