Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5369875, member: 628"] I don’t think he was denigrating Womack as a prospect. Just that it’s strange to credit his discovery to “the algorithm”. The guy is in the running for Mr. Wisconsin. You don’t need advanced data to think he might be a decent guy to recruit. Maybe they got in on him earlier than other schools. Although I gotta admit, what kind of data for a sophomore or junior in high school are you looking at that can be predictive of someone’s college career? I’m very skeptical about that. In baseball, you have at least a far-fetched shot at that working out, because it’s an individual game, and you can measure things like pitch speed, launch velocity, etc., But for basketball? I don’t know that those kinds of measurables, independent of team play? are really all that data rich at the HS and AAU level. [/QUOTE]
