[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 532487, member: 265"] Went back and looked. Looks like the previous poster was wrong. 247 does rate players on a 4 point decimal scale with 1.000 (Russell Wilson, I guess) as the perfect football player. However, they round up. So, for instance, Uzzi was a 4 star because he rated out at .8905. That rounds up to .90 and is the low score for 4 star players. This makes good sense if you aren't all that sure of your ratings - and they aren't, with good reason. This year Tech has three players rated at .8705 and better, but nobody would go up to a 4 star with a .01 increase in their score. Still, I'm willing to bet that one of them will end up being the college equivalent of a 5 star. The differences just aren't that great and 247 admits that it can't realistically scout every player. Here you could look at Demetrius Knight. He wasn't rated until Tech signed him and let it slip that he ran a 4.45 40 at 215 at Tech's camp. That raised an eyebrow or three and led (apparently) to them looking at his film. Bingo! He's a mid three star. [/QUOTE]
