Recruit Rankings

[waterhead]

I thought it was interesting to see where the different scouting sites had our recruits ranked. It's not an exact science to say the least. Here are some approximate rankings for our recruits on three sites. I have ranked them based first on how many sites had them in their top 150 and then based on their average ranking between the sites.

2007..........ESPN.....Rivals.....Scout

McClain?......100........51.........33 (TBA)
Henry............?.........49.........85
Mitchell..........?........135.......110
Davis...........140........?.........140
Belton..........125........?...........?
Bishop...........?.........125.........?

2008

Gates...........n/a.......17..........60
Wilkes..........n/a........63.........110

2009

McElroy........n/a........n/a.........30

n/a means I could find no rankings for that year. ? means they weren't in the top 150. I couldn't get into HoopScoop or PrepHoops site to check their rankings.

I can't be the only one who thinks ESPN rankings for HS hoopsters is ridiculous and piss poor...

There should be just six ranking 'levels' by any given service.


Top 10
Top 25
Top 50
Top 100
Top 250
Everybody else.


Ranking players with any more specificity is based too widely in opinions and not worth it. The college coaches dont care if the guy is ranked 43rd or 44th, so I dont either.
