The flaw with composite is that some of the the sites do a pretty poor job. ESPN and Scout. Although Scout and 247 are merging so that should solve the Scout problem.

Do you not use bracketmatrix because there are lower quality inputs?
It's not like Scout and ESPN are atrocious though either.
I am sure I have been to the site before. But with the Bracket stuff I don't pay too much attention to it.
The problem is that with places like ESPN they just don't do the scouting that 247 and Rivals do. Scout has really fallen off as well. While I do like to get a cross section of views on recruits, I typically only care about what 247 or Rivals has them rated as. Similar to when I look at Brackets to see who might be in or out ( i never look at them for seeding as that is mostly a crap shoot). I only look at the ones who generally have the highest rate of success. I don't feel the need to look at crap bracket makers and take their opinion into account.
Last thread pollution but I guess my overall point:
Composite > 247
Composite > Rivals
Composite > Scout
Composite > ESPN
No sense using something else unless you are looking for a biased way to make your recruits look better, like ISU Twitter when they count 1 4* ranking by any of the sites as a 4* recruit for the class even if the other 3 have them as 3*.
247 had Lewis at 130, his composite was 99, guess 247 recruiting ranking sucks.

Iowa State: Considering four-star point guard Tyler Harris was just on campus for an official visit and is thought to be leaning the Cyclones' direction, it makes sense that Steve Prohm was very visible for him with Team Thad. Three-star big men Russell Barlow, Javian Fleming and Morris Udeze also drew looks.

@JeffRobjohns Robert Phinisee had one of better passing games of the weekend. Teammates didn't finish many, but his vision & passes were on target.

In addition to Harris who is the priority. ISU has been recruiting Flemming and Udeze too. Curious to see if either/both are still on the staff's priority list,
