Here's what the "people in charge at 247" posted last night - it did NOT help anything:
Hey guys, full story here on what went on with the ranking for Jayden Wayne today:
247Sports was able to add On3 rankings and ratings to the 247Sports Composte just over a month ago, but like with any new tech it came with its share of bugs. Most have since been cleaned up but a fix for one that unfortunately directly affected this situation is still in the works.
The bug: When a player transfers high schools, naturally all the existing ratings and rankings on his profile transfer along with it to the new institution, but the for some reason the On3 rankings were not transferring like the others. So when Wayne's profile was moved to IMG Academy last month the On3 rankings did not move with the others and it was not noticed at the time. That caused a slight bump up for him in the Composite.
After he committed, the missing rating was noticed by someone on the backend and added back (worst timing ever I know!) and that moved him back to his rightful spot in the Composite at No. 41. Since the Composite five-star range is currently much larger than the five-star range at this point for any of the individual services (37 5-stars in Composite at this time as opposed to four 5-stars for 247Sports, 19 5-stars for Rivals, 10 5-stars for ESPN and 15 5-stars for On3), the bump was enough to have him in that range while it was missing.
It's just a bad look all around and really bad timing I know and our sincerest apologies for that. This was the worst case scenario for this issue to rear its ugly head but the priority for a fix has been moved up to avoid any future similar issues. Again, sorry for the confusion and congrats to The U for adding one of the nation's top players!
