Others know the story more accurately than I.  As I recall, Sue was on a competing AAU team or refused to join the AAU team of the person behind one of the rating services.  It may have been Blue Star, but I'm not certain.  In any case, that service rated her noticeably lower than the other services, not that there were as many services back then as there are now.  I'm pretty sure that service rated her #20, though everyone knew she was a top 10 player.  I believe that Tamika Williams was #1, Swin Cash was #2, and Asjha Jones was #4 or so.

Rating services are imperfect and reflect inherent human biases.  Some kids are overrated; some are underrated.  Sue was underrated, and there are frequent jokes about it on the BY.  A couple of others who were grossly underrated, possibly because they were under the radar or were late bloomers were Angel McCoughtry and Alana Beard.  My memory fails me, but I think they were rated roughly #50 and #40, respectively.  When they came out of college, they were top 2 or so.
