247Sports is an American network of websites that focus mainly on college football and basketball, including recruiting.
History.
The network was started in 2010, and has been cited as a source by other sports news media, including the Dallas Morning News and "The Washington Post". The site has also provided special reports on recruiting to sports news media including "Sports Illustrated".
In November 2012, 247Sports announced a content partnership with CBS Sports, in which 247Sports would provide content for its digital platforms (including CBSSports.com), and CBS Sports Digital would handle advertising sales for the site. In May 2013, 247Sports reached a long-term agreement to become the official online selection partner of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and the U.S. Army National Combine, replacing its competitor Rivals.com. In December 2015, CBS announced that it had acquired 247Sports.
In February 2017, 247Sports acquired Scout.com. In October 2017, 247Sports announced a partnership with "Pro Football Focus", in which it would provide coverage of Division I FBS college football for the website, including a PFF College microsite and integration of its player grades and rankings across 247Sports.
In early 2020, 247Sports.com hired Columbus, Georgia native sportscaster Josh Pate to host a show on the 247Sports YouTube channel called "Late Kick Live". As of February 2021, the 247Sports YouTube channel has 8 million total views. 
In August 2020, founder and CEO Shannon Terry left the company.
247Sports Composite.
247Sports features two ratings for high school football and basketball recruits: its own in-house evaluations done by its scouting staff, and also the 247Sports Composite ratings. The Composite aggregates the public ratings for a prospect by the major recruiting services using a propriety algorithm. The Composite originally combined the ratings from 247Sports' in-house ratings, Rivals.com, ESPN, and Scout.com. Since 247Sports' acquisition of Scout in 2017, the Composite now only includes the former three constituent ratings. The Composite also does not include any athletes that do not yet have a recruiting profile on 247Sports, to prevent spoofs from other sites. The resulting rankings can be considered an industry consensus on the top recruits in the nation.
