2126892, ranking high school players is a tricky thing...

ranking high school teams in general is tricky...

a lot of these guys are ranked on video tape highlights. I could chop up a highlight tape to make a guy look like a 5 star recruit..but he may not be.... You also have to take into account the level of competition they are playing at.

the other thing too...a guy who plays in passing leagues, and goes to these high profile training camps in the summer often get more looks..and sometimes an exagerated ranking because somebody saw them with a great workout at a camp...

a guy who doesn't participate in those things...yet has a huge upside could potentially end up

there are regional biases that come into play also....

these scouts were very hard to find the guy who is under the radar and lock him in before anyone else finds out..
