Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 1994027, member: 1052"] I do not believe it is the fault of the services for not predicting college performances of the players. First of all, he rankings are done at definitive point in time, measuring where the players are with respect to their peers, with some allowance for potential. Second, high school rankings cannot take into account or factored into the equation how someone build the one in college simply because there are too many variables. As an example, if a player chooses to attend Connecticut and he's coached by Geno Auriemma, the player will arguably receive better coaching and from the coach at another school. How can the ranking services factor how coaching will impact recruits? Third, the rankings cannot take into count how players adjust in college. For example, if a player is incredibly homesick and it impacts her performance, how is this something that the recruiting services ought to know when doing evaluations before the player has even set foot on a college campus? Fourth, if a player does not participate in AAU and is not as visible as many tournaments, the recruiting services do not have as many opportunities to see and evaluate the player. To me, the rankings are reflections of where players are in the tournaments in which they've been seeing. They are at a definitive point in time in high school. They are not, in my estimation, a way to predict college performance. The recruiting services are evaluators of talent and basketball perfomances, not stand-ins for the amazing Kreskin. [/QUOTE]
