Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4730629, member: 3834"] Yeah, easy to point to someone that’s not even on the ratings lists! You are correct that coaches rate players on their own but isn’t it funny how most of the highly ranked players on the ranking lists are also the most highly sought after! Just because Geno offered the Irish girl or the Egyptian girl has no connection with the validity of the domestic ranking services. I’m not saying they get everything close to right but they are not completely useless either! They provide a basic estimate mostly for fans. Where were Paige, Maya, Breanna, and Dee ranked? Seems like Geno agreed with those rankings! Probably the most sought after recruit in the 2024 class is Sarah Strong, a player Geno desperately wants! ( some believe he already has her) She is ranked #2! Qadence was #41. Could Geno have gotten Chloe Kitts, Montoya Dew, Madison Booker, Cassandra Prosper etc, all similar players to Q? Maybe! He went hard after Ciera Toomey! Clearly, he saw something in Q and is happy with her. As am I! However, that doesn’t mean she’s a better player than all those players or even that she was his first choice! A coach would have to be a fool to wholly base his/her recruiting on the ranking services! That still does not make them useless or always wrong. [/QUOTE]
