Thanks for providing that information Sluconn. I hope all the members of the Boneyard will stop using ESPN as the default most quoted rating. The media, fans and the people here all do the same thing, referring to a player as the number whatever recruit "according to ESPN" as if that is the only source worth mentioning. The three you reference are all way superior to ESPN's recruiting coverage and ratings.
Centerstrea asked are there other "reputable' rating services. I take exception to assuming ESPN is a reputable rating service. They are at best a distant fourth to the above three, but by far the most quoted because of ESPN's reach and fame. There are probably a thousand things more important to ESPN than their women's recruiting coverage, and it shows. As an example they still do not show Ayanna Patterson as committed to Uconn as of this morning, and for well over a year they showed Carolyn Ducharme as 5-10 not 6-2.
It won't happen, but the only way ESPN would be forced to approach competency in this area would be if the public stopped quoting ESPN's ratings for women's recruits. Their brand and reach is allowing the worst product to become the default source, which is sad.
