I don't understand the need to internally 'revise' the rankings. They are what they are and they're worth what they're worth. Saying our guy isn't a "56" and is more like a "25" is kinda odd unless you're also examining all the other players and deciding, based on high school performance, that one belongs above or below another... for all of them. Like with All-Star team snubs, if you think someone was left off, you gotta remove someone who's on it.

And re: Judah vs Starling—aren't they different players? Not sure how they can be 'equal' from what we know. Maybe Judah's quickness translates to the NCAA better than Starling's qualities... maybe it's the opposite. I'm kinda of the mind that there are 'elite' recruits and then there's a huge swathe beneath that, and those numbers are pretty meaningless. Those 20-70 players will play and make an impact, but whether someone is 50 or 35 is kinda moot. In that range, it's more of a roll of the dice as to whether you've got a potential star.

[B]For discussion: I wonder which player the forum would have chosen, if it were between Judah and Dior, and you were making the choice [I]before [/I]Dior committed to us. [/B]It's going to be easier to answer that now, now that we had some hurt feelings and resentments and there's all the business about Dior's attitude, but based on what you saw in terms of talent, what do y'all really think?
