247 Composite or ESPN

[EBFVOL]

Has anyone ever compared the rating systems to see which is more accurate? We are 10th 247 but espn has us out of the top 10 just seems the evaluations are much different.

The 247 composite is a compilation of all the rankings services. I don't ever look at anything else.

ESPN typically rates us the lowest of all the major ratings services. In his class Nico doesnt even make the top 5 QBs. That tells you all you need to know about accuracy of ESPN ratings.

Not b/c of recruiting, but I stay away from ESPN except if I am watching a game.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

ESPN can pound sand. Only time I even watch that trashy woke network is when the Vols are on, and then I mute it and listen to the Vol Network.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

No one takes ESPN's recruiting rankings seriously.

The Big 3 are Rivals, 247, and now On3 has joined the mix.

Just go with the 247 Composite.

The 247 Composite is what I pay attention to the most. I also have a soft spot for Rivals. On3 is starting to grow on me.

I have never payed attention to ESPN recruiting rankings. Like LT said. They don't even have Nico in the Top 5 QBs. They are a joke.

 

[Hopeful Vol]

I look at 247 and rivals

 

[Devo182]

On3 also has a composite as well.

ESPN and Rivals are awful, it is well known.

 

[iuvol]

ESPN takes us down in the composite

On3 and 247 use a composite. I think they weigh different rankings differently.

ESPN is the least accurate of the recruiting sites. They have less resources and research. They have few staff members or contributors compared to the others. The worst thing about 247 or On3 composites is that they include ESPN's rankings. Example: Nico is a 5* according to Rivals, 247, and On3. All three have him as the #2 player in the country. ESPN says he's a 4* and the #32 player in the country. Hobbs is a 5* top 20 player according to On3 and 247. Rivals has him a 4* at #55. ESPN has him at #160.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

ESPN's recruiting rankings are garbage.

The real question is whether 247 or On3 is better.

And the answer is 247

Exactly! They need to change that. Rivals, On3 and 247 is where it's at.

ESPN is also the same services that had JG ranked #4 QB in his class ahead of Jalen Hurts that’s signed with Alabama.

 

[Smokey7]

Boycott Espn

 

[Chilmonty]

If there were 3 teams in college football Espn would rank us 4th!

ESPN has and always will suck at recruiting rankings. Mostly just ranked by one guy there who may or may not have seen film on the guys he ranks.

 

[DaddyChad]

And the answer is 247

Idk, same guy founded both sites. He usually takes the best talent with him when he sales a service.

 

[DaddyChad]

On3 also has a composite as well.

ESPN and Rivals are awful, it is well known.

I can’t say Rivals and ESPN in the same sentence.

 

[BruisedOrange]

I'm guessing someone with analytical skills has come up with a fair estimate of how much each services weight their poll samples.

Hint. Hint.

 

[FranklinVFL]

I stopped reading at ESPN.

Lol it’s funny when progress is being called “woke” but same, ESPN def feeds into the narrative of going against the Vols.
