Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 2837627, member: 2531"] Please read what I’m saying. It’s sll probabilities. You can’t say that the system is flawed and ignore large sample sizes (multiple years). Pointing out outliers doesn’t prove anything other than the fact that outliers occasionally happen in statistics. And your post argues with itself. On one hand, you argue that you’d be crazy to not want highly rated recruits. On the other hand, you argue that A) ratings aren’t accurate because of inflation at big name schools and B) they may not be accurate in general (RU, BSU, and BU). You can’t logically have it both ways. For the record, my belief is that the system is imperfect, but directionally right. Outliers happen, and there ARE other factors (luck, coaching, for, style, etc.), but recruiting is important and rankings/stars are a good data point, or at least usually in the right ballpark.
