Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 176305, member: 837"] Yeah, I think the article generally basically supports the notion that the services do a fairly decent job of identifying the top 250. That said, that's still probably giving far more credit to those services than they actually deserve. I mean, it's not that difficult to put a kid with 20 BCS offers in your top 250 somewhere. So again I'd question a bit whether it's truly "projecting" versus some form of deduction (i.e. everyone loves this kid ... so do we!!). But I think the other issue missed with that kind of analysis -- and probably hard to really quantify -- is how many kids have great college careers despite not fitting in the nfl system (pat white) or not quite having the requisite tools or measurables (kevin abrams, though I suppose he had back issues).
