First, although outliers-such as Addison Gillam do exists, there is direct correlation between a player's star rating and the likelihood that they will have a successful career. Although many people want to fight this idea, it's a proven fact.
The 247 sports composite rankings combine their own player ratings with the ratings from Rivals, Scout, and ESPN. In other words you get an average of where each player stands and this aggregate ranking is in theory the most accurate representation of ability. 98-100= 5 stars, 90-97= 4 stars, 80-89= 3 stars, 70-79= 2 stars. Our average score when combining these composite ranking for all our commits is a 79, in other words our "mean" recruit is an upper-tier 2-star player.
We're the only "power conference" team with a score below an 81. Some non-power conference schools who managed a higher score then us include- Temple, San Diego State, Houston, South Florida, Central Florida, BYU, Cincinnati, Boise State, and Western Michigan. Other schools at a 79 include-Rice, Tulane, Louisiana Tech, Tulsa, East Carolina, and Marshall.
