If they are still being pursued by major programs that should tell you something and affect the ratings. If you are a very good foreign player, some attempt should be made to place them on the list in a reasonable way, or don't include them at all. Giving Nika a rating score of 90, and Aaliyah ranked only 20 something was crazy. There is video to view, coaches and others to consult. If they wanted to come up with at least a more realistic rating they could, they just don't. Without a ballpark valuation for foreign players, the class rankings if you have a key foreign player become almost meaningless. They also had Carolyn's height wrong by what 4 inches for the longest time. Overall I think Hoops Girls has been a weak link at ESPN. It is a shame they are the most quoted source on women's high school prospects with ESPN's reach, because at best they are way behind Prospect Nation, Blue Star and maybe ASGR as well. [/QUOTE]
