I prefer 24/7. They take all services into account. They also do not run camps with their names on it.

used to believe it was 247,
Like On3 just because it SHOWS all 4 rankings(if you're wondering why about 247, Thurmon, how can a kid be 30 -47 in Georgia by 3 services,then be the 102nd best player in Georgia on 247 ?)
They may not have their name on certain camps, but they're associated with certain ones and punish those that don't attend them .

Fair assessment of On3 but were they not started by the people that owned Rivals? Might be wrong just Rivals has become biased by players participating in their camps to pump clicks

Scout were biased as all get out. I just like it because you can SEE the rankings of all 4 services without searching around the net, a side by side comparison, so to speak.lol

He started Rivals and sold it, started 247 and sold it, then started On3.

The 247 Composite includes Rivals I think.

Makes sense to average out varying opinions.

To hear alums of Rivals talk management often adjusted the ratings submitted by scouts just to drive traffic to their site.

Watch recruits drop after they commit in their junior years and stop camping.

Whoever has your team rated higher for that particular year, of course.
But it does seem 247 is more accurate. I have nothing to back that up, other than I just seem to use theirs more and find myself trusting theirs.

That said EAPN was the only one that had DJU around 50 vs a top 5 overall recruit.
