Everyone takes a dump on the composite (and Rivals and ESPN by association), but if you look at where they ranked guys on our current roster-Rivals has 1 less 4* than 247 and ESPN has 7 MORE 4*s than 247 had ranked. I'm not saying those two services are good or bad at what they do, but if 247 is considered the gold standard, which I agree with, then Rivals isn't far off, and ESPN has been more favorable towards State commits than any other network. I like the composite. I think it gives the most objective view. Why wouldn't you want more data on these prospects? I've never understood the angst towards it. It's all because of the little brother syndrome some State fans have towards OM and them finishing with a higher class last year and being ahead this year.
