At the end of the recruiting period, the rankings probable matter most... At this point, it would seem that average star ranking would be more important.

In other words, USC is currently ranked 23rd in the rankings, but their star ranking (3.89) would have them first.

Now that also has Auburn as 4th (Average Stars) vs. 13 in the rankings. (RIVALS Rankings).

That's the best way to look at it.

Rivals and star rankings is a croc of shite. 247 and ESPN puts together more meaningful evaluations and the numerical grades are a much more accurate representation of a particular player. Rivals panders to subscription holders, the other two actually do the footwork to give an accurate portrayal for the general fan population

I can't speak to everyone's formula, but 247 puts additional weight on position rank. So a 4* who is the #4 player at his position carries more significance towards a class than a 4* who is a #8 at his position.

I think ESPN's ranking are awful. They did a piece on how the ESPN top 150 has fared in the last few years, and their rankings were way off of actual production.

I've never relied on ESPN's recruiting analysis. Rivals and 247 and then Scout, Scout doesn't take into account JUCO in their final team rankings from what I remember.
