247 is doing everything conceivable to corner the recruiting market. The Schurbert fellow references a "recruiting national championship" often enough, and I assume it is part of their internal rhetoric. The composite was an attempt to nullify the need for a significant number of visits to other services, even altogether, and entrench themselves as a singular stop. The crystal ball is a furthering of that aim (though they are usually very accurate), but rating recruiters has no merit until NSD. At all. It's also far too large for precision and ground-zero knowledge of who actual produced the commitment. Perhaps most alarmingly, as of this post no bagmen were credited.
Yes. They have lapped the field in useless information, married with some good predictions. Their ratings are not exceptional, and fall prey to the same fanbase catering blind spots of all others.
But I do believe they work/try harder than any others service and it isn't close.
