Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3498880, member: 9403"] MaxPreps' All-American Teams have historically given a lot of weight to high school team results, so top recruits on top-ranked HS teams tend to move up the ranks, while recruits on weaker teams tend to perform more poorly. Note, for example, that [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/news/FKLuGRBRXUevJsqA3D1hVg/2017-18-maxpreps-high-school-girls-basketball-all-american-team.htm']in 17-18[/URL], Max Preps had Lexie Hull on its first team after her HS team won the HS national championship, while ONO was only third team, even though ONO was ranked 4th and Hull 14th. And [URL='https://www.maxpreps.com/news/sDnP0j7nv02Pv7vuM6FDAQ/maxpreps-2018-19-high-school-girls-basketball-all-american-team-.htm']last year[/URL], Cameron Brink was on the second team whereas this year she was on the third team; she didn't get worse as a player, but she transferred to a much less competitive HS for her senior season. Even more than other rankings, this list is not geared toward ranking who will be a top college player but is more geared toward rewarding who were the best HS players. [/QUOTE]
