Not mad at you. Just want to call out the 247 nonsense, and to CLARIFY to people why he is a "247 4-star":

So what does this mean?
Well, let's ask 247...
247Sports Composite
247Sports features two ratings for high school football and basketball recruits:
its own in-house evaluations done by its scouting staff, and 247Sports Composite ratings. The Composite aggregates the public ratings for a prospect by the major recruiting services using a propriety algorithm. The Composite combines recruitment ratings from 247Sports' in-house ratings, Rivals.com, and ESPN in order to provide an overall rating for each recruit. The resulting rankings can be considered an industry consensus on the top recruits in the nation.
The Composite does not include any athletes that do not yet have a recruiting profile on 247Sports in order to prevent spoofs from other sites.
Now, let's see what 247 has to say about 5-star players...
A five star rating is awarded to athletes who are graded with a 98–110 rating (.98–1.00 Composite).
For the 247Sports in-house ratings, five star ratings are given to the top 32 recruits in each recruiting class to mirror the 32 first round picks in the NFL Draft. These 32 recruits from each recruiting class are the players who 247Sports analysts believe are the most likely to be first round NFL draft picks in the future. Any player with a rating of 100–110 is considered a potential “franchise player” and are not present in every recruiting class.
And yet, 247 LIES, as they have only awarded FOUR 5-star ratings in this recruiting class, and NOT 32...

Fortunately, there is less bullcrap in the 247 COMPOSITE ratings:

Seems to me that 247 is sitting on a throne of lies. First, players 39-42 ALSO have a composite score above .98, but do not have 5-star status. Second, there are more than 32 5-stars on this list. I'd love to know why 247 feels that Derek Williams is a composite 5-star, but Malik Muhammad is not.
Unless there are now 38 NFL teams drafting in the first round. If so, I'll shut up.
