Ok so I did some research to find out how this process goes down and who actually votes. Turns out it's as big of a joke as I thought it would be. You have about 50 guys who vote for the boys team, but I honestly only saw about 12 names of scouts on that list who actually have seen most of these players play to be qualified enough to vote. The majority is filled with people that I doubt have seen more than a couple of these players play or if at all smh, and most likely only vote by what school a certain individual is going to. Which is why you always see Duke, UNC, and UK recruits get in. If they ever want to get this right, then they have to cut off a lot of the fat and chop it down to the top 20-25 scouts, who actually go out and watch as many players as they can around the country to make the best choices for this kind of game. Doubt it happens because it's been like this for so long.
 
On another note unfortunately for Tyler. Out of the 12 scouts that I recognized, only half of them had him in their top 25. Espn and Max preps(2 voters each), Van Coleman, Bob Gibbons, and Jerry Meyer all weren't as high on him which I think made a big difference. Telep and Gibbons I have heard hold a lot of weight with their ballots. MCW got in mainly because of Telep a few years ago. Evan Daniels, Eric Bossi, Prep Stars(2 voters) all had Ennis in their top 25 and I'm sure they voted for him but I guess he was always what you considered to be on that borderline edge for the game.
