Toe Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 247's Composite has become less relevant anyway. Scout is gone, and ESPN's coverage is a joke that probably skews the composite score poorly. That leaves just 247 and Rivals as decent sources, so do we really need a separate composite score, instead of just looking at those two ratings? Quote Link to comment

HuskerInLostWages Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 This kinda reminds me of Ivan Renko. If you don't know the story, google the name and enjoy how full of crap some of these recruiting "gurus" are. Quote Link to comment

No, 247 did not rate them per se. Prior to this incident, 247 composite took any rating from Rivals or ESPN and created an average out of respect to their rating even if they(247) hadn’t rated them. Basically a computer system. Now, they changed their system so that if they haven’t personally evaluated them or rated them, their site won’t issue a 247composite rating for them. 1 Quote Link to comment

No. 247 didn't rate him. Because Rivals rated him, it spilled over into their composite rating. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 In other news, Alabama hires Nick Saban as head football coach. Good luck with that move. Quote Link to comment
