Message: [QUOTE="relaxer, post: 5481775, member: 7852"] Bingo. The recruiting media basically follow the prep school beat, and are pretty clueless about public school kids. From my neck of woods, a Darien middie that didn't see any time this year was rated a 3 star, while a teammate who started at midfield and is on the same club team was not rated. Who do you think has a better beat on these kids: the coaches who see them every day or the recruiting analyst who saw 1 or 2 games their club team played over the summer? Generally speaking, I think these rankings weight club ball WAY too highly. And the less said about the blind eye they turn to significant holdbacks the better. [/QUOTE]
