Eckmark dropped from 16 to 26. No Kia Nurse in the top 150???

Dunbar jumped to 43.

You have to take into account which players are clients of that group and their services. Some of them pay money to them for events, training, videos, etc. That clearly factors in to what they do.

 

[stwainfan]

That's a better ranking.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Not sure how much Ekmark played in the AAU Events. If she didn't that might be why she dropped. Dunbar jumped because she signed with the Lady Vols

Keep in mind, it's "Prospects Nation"

But seriously, I don't get why they have around 200 prospects as four-stars. In men's basketball rankings, prospects ranked from around 26 to 100 are usually four-stars, with the three-stars then starting around 101.

Because of the Canadian thing, she's probably off many people's radars.

Agree. Would they even travel to Canada to watch prospects play?

 

[meyers7]

There are other Canadian girls listed.

They wouldn't have had to travel to Canada. Nurse's AAU team played at the USJN National Championships in DC this summer.

Eckmark dropped from 16 to 26.

What have you done for me lately? She didn't play summer AAU ball. Look at the leaps by Paris Kea, Dekeiya Cohen and Kortney Dunbar. Brianna Turner also dropped.

No Kia Nurse in the top 150???

These US reviewers usually don't even try to rate the women north of the border. Achonwa was never rated by Hoopgurlz (when the guys that run Prospects Nation used to run Hoopgurlz), although they stated that if she were rated, she would have been top 25. (Of course they said that AFTER she blossomed last season.)

 

[Raoul]

There are other Canadian girls listed.

That was my feeble attempt at a joke, but for the record, the Caron-Goudreau twins, although they're from Quebec, are now playing high school ball in Florida at IMG Academy.

 

[Fightin Choke]

There are other Canadian girls listed.

Those other women attended high school in Florida.

Have Turner Ranked #1

Ahh, well there you go. They just had them listed as "Canada".

FullCourt Top 50 - Link

Have Turner Ranked #1

Both Full Court and Blue Star have Brianna Turner ranked first, but she dropped in Prospects Nation to 5th. This consistent with the fact that Brianna played for USA Basketball last summer but not AAU, and as others have pointed out, surging players excelled in AAU ball last summer.

[Wbbfan1]

Just using A'ja's & Brianna's play for USA BB. I'd have to rank A'ja over Brianna. A'ja's younger, similar in size to Brianna yet their stats don't compare. Link

Exactly. Sadie Edwards didn't play much AAU ball this summer (ankle/foot injury I think) yet she didn't move. She happens to be a client of PN.

Ekmark did play AAU ball, mostly at west coast events.

As we're learning, there are multiple factors that go in to these ratings and some don't involve what takes place on the court.

 

[triaddukefan]

Wow.... Paris Kea made a huge jump.... glad to see that.

That's a better ranking.

Oops.... button got stuck

 

[Wonkster]

.
I guess I'll have to ask - how many active Girls High School Basketball ranking services are there these days?

 

[HuskyFan1125]

There just rankings! I will take a player ranked 190 if Geno wants her that's good enough for me
