Message: [QUOTE="SmilinBob, post: 175288, member: 857"] That's why it's so important for the staff to be good evaluators. The recruiting services pander to their customers and their customers have the biggest following thus paying their salaries. Look at what happened to Bowden who himself said he paid too much attention to the scout/rivals ratings and not enough attention to the evaluation process. Let's face it, when Boeheim offers a scholarship to a kid that was rated 150-250 it opens some eyes so we do get the benefit of this when it comes to hoops. Plus, you don't know when the light goes on for some of these kids. The game slows down, finally listen or understand what their coach has been teaching or for whatever other reason. There's a lot that goes into it football, a hell of a lot more than basketball imo and comparing areas and positions is to say the least a crapshoot. Hell, the NFL misses a ton on prospects and they brake this thing down to the n'th degree. [/QUOTE]
