Class AAA football blog: Five players listed in 24/7Sports c/o 2020 Top 50

The 24/7Sports recruiting ratings provide crucial bits of information on football commits and prospects, and it is important to know how the ratings system works to understand the numbers that will accompany any players listed.

Conveniently, 24/7Sports offers a break down of its ratings system with the following explanations:

-- 1.10 - 1.01 = Franchise Player. One of the best players to come along in years, if not decades. Odds of having a player in this category every year is slim. This prospect has "can't miss" talent.
-- 1.00 - .98 = Five-star prospect. One of the top 30 players in the nation. This player has excellent pro potential and should emerge as one of the best in the country before the end of his career. There will be 32 prospects ranked in this range in every football class to mirror the first round of the NFL Draft.
-- .97 - .90 = Four-star prospect. One of the top 300 players in the nation. This prospect will be an impact player for his college team. He is an All-American candidate who is projected to play professionally.
-- .89 - .80 = Three-star prospect. One of the top-10 percent of players in the nation. This player will develop into a reliable starter for his college team and is among the best players in his region of the country. Many three-stars have significant pro potential.
-- .79 - below = Two-star prospect. This player makes up the bulk of Division I rosters. He may have little pro potential but is likely to become a role player for his respective school.
