Apparently worth 105 points. From 1794 to 1899.

I'm on road want to post teams ahead and their points?

It's not just "stars" that go into the formula..Rivals rating has something to do with it to. I realized this a few weeks back whenever we had identical numbers in terms of stars with Florida, yet they had more "points." Upon looking deeper into it, they had more 5.9 4*s and 5.7 3*s.

LSU #6 on Rivals

I am more of production on field person. It never hurts to see LSU near the top though.

YES!

I think it's an overly complicated pile of crap, but this is what it was at one time. This is from a few years ago, and I don't know if they modified it in any way since:
quote:
Please note you only take the top 20 prospects in this formula, ordered by # Stars descending.
POINTS = ((N / (N + 50)) * H) + ((50 / (N + 50)) * L)
where...
H = 250 for each 5-star commit + 140 for each 4-star + 75 for each 3-star + 20 for each 2-star + 10 for each 1-star
L = 18 for each 5-star + 12 for each 4-star + 8 for each 3-star + 3 for each 2-star + 1 for each 1-star
N = a calculation described below
CALCULATION OF N:
10 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 1-10
9 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 11-20
etc. down to...
1 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 91-100
10 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (non-high school) ranked 1-10
9 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (non-high school) ranked 11-20
etc. down to...
6 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (non-high school) ranked 41-50
24 for each commit ranked #1 on his official position ranking
18 for each commit ranked #2-5 on his official position ranking
8 for each commit ranked 6-X on his official position ranking, where X is dependent on detail position, as listed below...
--Dual-threat QB: 25
--Pro-style QB: 25
--Running Back: 35
--All-Purpose Back: 15
--Fullback: 15
--Wide Receiver: 50
--Tight End: 20
--Offensive Tackle: 40
--Offensive Guard: 30
--Offensive Center: 10
--Defensive Tackle: 50
--Weakside Defensive End: 20
--Strongside Defensive End: 30
--Inside Linebacker: 35
--Outside Linebacker: 35
--Cornerback: 40
--Safety: 30
--Athlete: 25
--Kicker: (no points awarded for rank lower than 5th)
If the team's average stars are greater than 3, add (100 * (Avg stars -
> 3)) to N.

247 hasn't finished evaluating everyone. Quite a few guys will get bumps such as Jennings, Rettig , Lawson, and possibly Patterson if he has a really good season

Seems like an awful lot of time and dedication to figure out something that doesn't matter.

Baker will be a 4 star on the next 247 rankings in a few weeks.

Could it have anything to do with how our comits are performing in camp? Or was it strictly bc of Melvin?
