Part of that bias may again be based in travel money for evaluators - presumably they get to the affiliated tournaments but may not get to the 'competitions' tournaments so they might just not see the other players in order to evaluate them. I never get to worried about the ratings - the top kids generally stay at the top and after that I trust the coaching staff to select the ones they think fit to recruit.One of the things I found interesting is the bias we've been reading about regarding AAU affiliations, player affiliations, and their respective rankings with the heads of those services who are affiliated as well. So if player A didn't play in a certain event sponsored by whoever, then that player was dropped way down even tho she may be much more talented than kids ahead of her.
Beginning to sound like the men's side. All that's missing is the $ changing hands and the coaches being accused of paying for players. Then again, teams who are hiring AAU coaches of prized prospects is already encroaching on that grey area.
. For 2013, hoopgurlz and prospect nation had Duke recruits rated the highest, while for 2014 Fullcourt had Duke recruits rated highest. I doubt you can take much away from this lol, other than to say Duke has had back to back stellar recruiting classes..
