Show me one post where someone says that the staff [U]prefers[/U] two-star hidden gems over kids that are highly rated. Hopefully everyone realizes the difference between "the staff has its own criteria for evaluations" and "the staff prefers 2-star kids".  The staff does offer lots of kids that are highly rated by the services - they may or may not be as coveted by the staff as some lower rated, lesser known kids that they also offer - it just so happens that there is less competition for the lesser known kids and the odds of signing them are better. They're offering both kinds of kids and we have absolutely no way of knowing which ones they 'like' better and I'm sure it varies based on each specific kid - why is this even something that is being debated? 
 
There have been situations the last two years where "higher rated" kids were available and claimed in interviews that they were very interested in SU but SU wasn't returning the interest and SU went out and signed "2 star" kids without a lot of offers - and there have been situations the last two years where SU was all over a "highly rated" kid trying to get them only to be pushed aside as big time powers came in and offered. This isn't an either or situation.
