Money and I got into a discussion (which we both agreed) that the majority of kids from non-top flight HS programs (where tons of eyes are) or the kids that the alabamas, NDs, Clemsons of the world aren’t noticing, don’t get properly evaluated by recruiting services. So I fully expect we “secretly” had prospects with greater potential than the services realized (if they even evaluated them properly in the first place, which I largely doubt)

Why spend time evaluating an SU commit that you’ve never heard of or seen before? Spending an hour to do a “thorough” evaluation of that kid and writing it up won’t make you or the company more money since there are no subscribers there. When there are roughly 50,000 kids out their to eval, why waste time on one of them that is going to a meh program with no subscribers to our website/service? Just slap an average 3 star 85 rating on a kid and move on to someone else who needs to be rated.

Or just do what Dohn does and drop the kids rating because he goes to SU or raise it when he commits to Rutgers (but drop it when the winds of decommitment start blowing through…)

There’s a reason college staffs do their own talent evaluations and don’t just go based on whatever the daily or Rvals sites say. Nobody in the business (not that I know many) on the actual university side takes those things seriously. So many reasons to rate this kid over that one. From political to financial to bribery to a whole bunch of reasons other than strictly talent evaluation why one kid gets one rating and another gets a different one.
