re: 247 recruiting rankings question

The way the composite ranking works is a #1 rankings is worth 1.000 and then each additional spot behind is -.0004.
So let's say a theoretical prospect had the following rankings.
247- #3 overall (.9992)
Scout- #5 overall (.9984)
Rivals #7 overall (.9976)
ESPN- #29 overall (Hey it's ESPN, .9888)
Then you add those 4 up, divide by 4 to get composite #
In this case= .9960
Anything over .9830 composite is considered a 5 star I believe, the composite ranking order is from highest to lowest based on the composite number. This theoretical prospect would be ranked #6 composite in the 2016 class right now with these ratings.
Probably way more than anyone needed to know, but I'm an insomniac and these are the types of posts I make at midnight.

I appreciate the insight.
It caught me off guard when Donte was ranked #10 on 247 and then i looked at the composite at #56 and thought, WOAHH that doesnt look right.
And it all makes sense because Donte is not ranked very high on ESPN and Rivals.
