Question for ESPN HoopGurlz...

[ucdt3]

How is it that a player who was one of about 30 players at USAB's U18 trails, has a final 6 of UConn, UNC, Miami, Maryland, Louisville, and Ohio State, AND led her team to the NY State AA Championship Semifinals against NPOTY Breanna Stewart (eventually losing) does NOT have a prospect profile on your HoopGurlz site?

Bad enough she isn't in your Top 60, but you all don't even have her AT ALL...explanation please!!!

Oh and by the way, I'm talking about Saniya Chong, if you couldn't figure it out !!!

This has been discussed before, and the issue is not in HGs rankings but in Saniya's lack of national exposure. Not sure what the number of high school teams there are but HG does not have the budget to watch even a tiny fraction of their games. They do most of their evaluations at the big AAU and HS tournaments and Saniya has never participated in those events. This USA trial is probably the first time an HG staffer has actually seen her play, and they do not (nor should they) rank players they haven't seen.
I would expect that the next rankings that come out for her class will include her now that they have seen her.
Saniya is one of the few talented players that has played her entire HS career with a local/regional schedule - some of them never get national exposure and then explode on a college level either directly or as JC transfers.

There is only one rating service that matters and it isn't Hoopgurlz.
