In order to create the most comprehensive Team Recruiting Ranking without any notion of bias, 247Sports Team Recruiting Ranking is solely based on the 247Composite Rating. Each recruit is weighted in the rankings according to a Gaussian distribution formula (a bell curve), where a team's best recruit is worth the most points. You can think of a team's point score as being the sum of ratings of all the team's commits where the best recruit is worth 100% of his rating value, the second best recruit is worth nearly 100% of his rating value, down to the last recruit who is worth a small fraction of his rating value. This formula ensures that all commits contribute at least some value to the team's score without heavily rewarding teams that have several more commitments than others. Readers familiar with the Gaussian distribution formula will note that we use a varying value for s based on the standard deviation for the total number of commits between schools for the given sport. This standard deviation creates a bell curve with an inflection point near the average number of players recruited per team. Below is a graphical representation of how our formula works. You can see that the area under the curve gets smaller both as the rating for a commit decreases and as the number of total commits for a school increases. The y-axis in this graph represents the percentage weight of the score that gets applied to an overall team ranking.
Exactly, so our top 20 or so recruits are as strong as anyone's. The bottom half that Butch has had to sign to fill the decimated roster has brought down the average.
Again, your argument is busted.

Please find a Richmond related melt from me. At most, I have an average interest in crootin'.
I get bored in class and y'all are collectively shitting all over tRant this offseason so the opportunities generally present themselves, that's all.

All y'all have to beat your chest about are past accomplishments because your team sucks
Let's talk about the past accomplishments of ole miss.........oh wait, there are none.
I guess there is the fact that in the past 35 years your team has lost 5 or more games 17 times. Quite an accomplishment

Repeating this won't make it true. Sure we talk past accomplishments in threads that have to do with the past but that's it.
The fact that you're so obsessed with us is rather amusing. And the particular obsession you have with our past speaks to your own insecurity. Sorry not sorry we signed an in-state player named Drew Richmond. Let it go.

Lol at the same Mississippi poors that show up in anything Tennessee related.
I'm surprised you plebeians have the time to track all things UT in between clan meetings.
Rent free, your head, etc.

Oh, is that why you were previously harping about the composite rating?
I haven't mentioned the composite. You must be thinking of another poster

Well 6th best is above average for the SEC, so you do have that going for you.

Vandy fans aren't talking trash to them anymore, so they have to be happy about that.

5, and he had a roster depleted by scholarship losses and shitty crootin' due to the Right Reverend Nutt.

I was born in 1992. Have y'all won any sort of championship in my lifetime? Real talk.
