Who cares it's all propaganda... Ratings mean nothing. It's all about what u do in college and how u develop as a player. I will take our incoming class over any of the players from Tennessee in a heart beat. Our players will develop into national champions at Tennessee not so much. GENO doesn't care about ratings or polls it's about player development. UCONN doesn't have to prove anything to anyone there success speaks for itself.

I bet the females who made the team care.... and their families, high school, and communities.

I posted a couple weeks ago when they came out with the initial McD AA list that Walker and Coombs were locks, that Gordon had a good chance but I didn't think AEH would make it. All based on their rankings. McD's goes pretty much by the Overall Rankings (combined). As I noted they also look at positions, cause they have to play an actual game. So you need Gs, Ws, Fs, Ps. Sometimes you have to go down the list to get them. This year they had to go a little deep down the list to get the Ps.

They did, however (it seems anyway) went down the list for geography also. They skipped East coast guards/wings (Boykin - NC , AEH - NY, Grissett - NC) to pick two guards from CA (Littleton and Smith). They pretty much divided the teams East and West actually geographically. (for the most part)

You actually sound kind of miserable right now.

Mike Flynn (Blue Star), posted something last night on twitter about "issues" with McD AA, so wondering if the other all star lists will be significantly different?

Can't remember a time when Mike did not have "issues" with the McD AA selections. Usually Mike is on one end or the other of the issue-creating it or resolving it.

"You're" or "You are" would be correct, in the above-referenced sentence.

Yes. They were on my original list. Not sure what happened. I will have to update anyway as I have gotten some PMs about "rumors" of people not returning next season. I will likely put out a new spreadsheet this summer. Besides. We need some summer convo!

You should not listen to rumors, I can personally guarantee you that some players will not return next year.

Back on topic - the real problem with rankings and McD's selection is that the universe they are dealing with and the geography is so dispersed, and the money involved for those trying to rank or select so minimal that no one can pretend to evaluate everyone at the high school level - you are left evaluating on box scores (also incredibly sparse and hard to collate), AAU team selection process for the big travel teams which are the ones most frequently seen, and the team selection process for the traveling HS teams which also get seen.

The change USA basketball made by allowing U16 (and U17?) prospects to pay their own way to trials is a recognition of that issue, and the results have been positive in broadening the exposure of a number of kids who have performed better than those 30+ invitees USA has selected in a process similar but a little broader than AA selections. It still limits based on cash in hand because the expenses are probably beyond a bunch of HS ballers, but it is better than what came before.

The best player coming in to Duke in a long time left off.

You know, it is a nice honor to get as a HS kid, but it really signifies less than whichever HS ranking system you subscribe to, or all of them combined, and they are notoriously inaccurate in general for predicting college performance.

It is sort of like 'winning the off-season' in a professional sport - most of those winners don't actually perform very well when the winning actually is tied to a score in the actual games.

Umm, let me parse this so you can give me clarity I I got lost on your comment. There are 24 Players, so for a 4 yr rolling, that's 96 players on current college eligibility ignoring RS or Transfers. Of course than 96 players won't make the college AA list but by a conference standard most will. Some of course peak early, others later. It's a snap shot in time. Of better correlation is the USA 16U, 17U and 19U teams for performance prediction.
