Pittsburg PA (ATH) Jason Cross commits to WVA.

 

[Coach J]

ESPN did a ranking update this week as well and he was dropped from a 4 star (81 rating) and player 293 overall down to a 3 star (78 rating).

This type of crap is BS with 247, just because he signed with us.

Here is more nonsense from them. If you go to our list of recruits Harper Holloman is listed with no stars are rating, but if you click his profile he is a 3-star 85 rating.

I would suggest you read about the difference between the 247 rating and the 247 composite rating. The picture that you posted of his profile shows that he has zero stars in the composite rating, which they use to rank teams. The odds that there is some conspiracy against UConn are pretty low. I would suggest you understand what the ratings are and how and when they are used before claiming some sort of BS. The 247 ranking is their own algorithm to rank the prospect, the composite ranking is the average of what the media rankings are of the particular athlete. 247 rates them high, but all the rest of the people who do this do not. It is literally a mathematical equation based on publicly available information and not some arbitrary thing.

247 itself is actually bucking the trend and rating the prospect above high compared to what the general consensus is.

Jfc just checked 24/7 again he’s plummeted all the way down to 75. These recruiting websites are so full of it’s coming out of their ears.

Same thing with deron, nothing on our list but click on his profile and it says 84 3star. This class should easily be 10 spots higher than 86.

Understood brother...

 

[AD DB Burner]

This is one case where it’s not on 247, but one of the other sites that is factored into the composite rankings not having a ranking assigned to the players mentioned.

Nothing is happening and these things are not moving drastically. You are not understanding what the ratings are and confusing the numbers. Cole Welliver is ranked 52 in the class calculator with an 86.86 score, not a 75 in the class calculator with an 85 score like you are saying. The two numbers are different because the one used to rank class is the composite score which is pulling rankings from every ranking site and averaging them. The 75 ranking is 247s score which is solely projecting his NFL prospects. He is not jumping around like crazy, there are just two different numbers and understanding the meaning is very helpful.

As far as Deron, 247 has him as a three star, but all the other ratings have him much lower or have not even rated him, thus the no stars for the class calculator and the 3 stars on the 247 NFL projection.
