I always wonder what the conversations are like between the people who run 247 sites at SEC schools and the people doing the rankings. And "scholarship punter" is probably a great way to discuss it.
When you add a scholarship punter, they go on the list. But no punters are going to be ranked very high. Which means you're adding a player who is going to severely lower the class ranking (and the "average rating" number). The SEC site managers have to pitch a fit. A player with an 81 rating just destroys the class they've spent a lot of time propping up.
I'm saying it this way because I already know the answer of how they do it. I saw that Declan Duley was rated as the #2 punter, so I clicked on the link to see the other rankings. And the answer to the question of "how do SEC team site managers keep scholarship punters from ruining their class rankings?" is "they get the rankers to name their guy as a 4-star punter":
That's so incredibly hilarious to me. Ratings for the top-5 punters: 90, 81, 81, 81, 81. No, in the SEC, they won't let a punter ruin their class ranking. They'll just say that the punter is a 4-star. LOLOL.
