it’s a little tiring how people across recruiting services are so reluctant to talk about how the sausage is made and possibly show criticism for the industry.
I know nobody is interested in hearing this and would prefer to just continue shitting on 247, but you can easily hear about how they put their rankings together if you take a moment to seek that content out. Listen to Bud Elliot on cover 3 or various other pods--he often discusses things that go into formulating the rankings. Before he joined cover 3, they had barton simmons (now the GM of vandy football but previously a 247 guy) who did the same. You can get even more of it if you listen to recruiting specific pods.
Also, i know that we all want to be angry about Mason taylor's rankings... but go back and just look at pictures and film of him in HS. He does *not* look like a high-major player. In the picture he took on one of the big recruiting weekends with a bunch of other guys in the class, he stands out as an outlier in terms of his body being underdeveloped. Size and appearance isn't everything by any means, but go check out some pictures and clips of mason taylor from HS and compare those to some of the TEs who got a 4th star, then tell me if you still think it was unreasonable for him to be ranked where he was. Some guys are just late bloomers, simple as that. It seems that's the case, here.
(Also, how about we let the kid play literally one single snap of college football before complaining about how terrible his ranking was).

I am sure there's a method to madness but there's literally no reason guys like Sampson should be losing stars when, as you said, not a snap of football has been played.
