Kwity Paye's Climb in 247 Composite Rankings

Submitted by Indonacious on

Kwity Paye jumped up 412 spots in the 247 Composite rankings according to the Pre-UA practice rankings. He is up to #537 247 composite rankings now.

It will be curious to see what happens to his rankings now that he gets a chance against much better competition than he sees in RI.

Rankings as of Today:

Scout Rivals ESPN 247 247 Comp
3* #71 DE 3*, #34 WDE 4*, 80, #26 WDE 3*, 86, #45 WDE,
#827		 3*, #32 WDE,
#537 Ovr

From his Hello post:

Scout Rivals ESPN 247 247 Comp
3* #70 DE 3*, #40 WDE 4*, 80, #26 WDE 3*, 86, #42 WDE,
#806 Ovr		 3*, #45 WDE,
#949 Ovr

In case you were wondering, he would be MSU's sixth-best commit.

Damn, if he gets up to 260-270ish or more and gains or keeps that speed, should be a solid dude. Get it done!

Exactly.

 

At first I thought maybe Don Brown wanted him because he was at BC and this was the type of kid he could get.

 

But Brown's earned enough equity with the fan base to trust him that if he still wants the kid when he's at Michigan, he must fit in the sysem somehow.

The 247 composite rankings are weird at times. If you look at the positional ratings, he dropped from 70 to 71 on Scout, moved up from 40 to 34 on Rivals, stayed the same on ESPN, and dropped from 42 to 45 on 247. And somehow that works out to moving up 13 spots on the positional rankings and 412 overall. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Look at his earlier composite positional rating. It really doesn't make sense. It was worse than his worst individual ranking and much worse than at least one of them. 

If 247 didn't miscalculate, then it's a good illustration of why we should scale back the weight we give their composite rankings.

Wait isn't the composite a round up of the other websites? None of them have him moving much if at all...

As the recruiting season progresses, the ratings split quite a bit based on late evaluations and staying in place will move you up in the composite. This is why a lot of heavily scouted early guys tend to drop - new evaluations slide in ahead of them from different evaluators at each of the sites. The lower you go in rankings the more pronounced this is. Kwity may have stayed in place because he played well, but continued to play really low level competition. Chance to impress at UA; glad to have him either way!

since that mostly applies to guys dropping as more evals come in.  Guys can usually only move up after a re-ranking and it appears that came via rivals which did move him up 6 spots positionally which could be 100-200 spots overall.  The fact that the composite rankings are extremely close in the 500+ range (less than 0.02 separates Paye now from Taylor who is 891st), makes the bump in Rivals rating possible.  It makes sense intuitively as well. In that range, you're getting far enough away the tail end of the distribution that there really isn't that much separating 500 from 1000.

He reminds me a little of Terrel Suggs when he was in high school. Suggs played for a Hamilton high school in Arizona. My school would have had to play them in the semi's but they lost in the quarters. Anyways, we played a few teams in the playoffs and non conferance that played Hamilton and suggs was an absolute monster. He played halfback and de and weighed 250ish. We ran a wing-t offense and I was the wingback at 170 lbs and would have had to attempt to block him on sweeps, which was your breed and butter. So I'm glad we did not face them. Additionally, the ran alot of power tosses and sweeps to suggs, and I played corner and would have been the edge guy on alot of those. So, again I'm glad I did not have to attempt to stop him. When I turned on the senior film I thought that's a poor man's Terrel Suggs. I'm sure most the schools in RI that did not have to play his school are just as glad as I was to not have to play Suggs. I think this kid will be special.

Exactly, the whole reason that "little brother" was so effective of a jab is because it basically dismissed them. Instead we constantly talk about them and compare ourselves to them, it's kind of pathetic. When they are completely irrelevant to us then we'll have the final laugh. I get much more satisfaction looking up at reaching the heights of Bama or Ohio St.'s recruiting levels and a ton of satisfaction as we surpass schools like FSU, Clemson and others that were beating us out for kids not long ago.

I dont take it just as a dig. Making fun of their coach's name is a pointless dig. They are one of out two main rivals, so comparing recruiting classes is highly relevant to our interests. The fact that our #last guy would be their #6 guy is a pretty apt comparison. I think its a useful nugget of info. So I politely disagree with your sentiment.
