ESPN recruit rating system

[poppycat]

ESPN and others don't rate international players. That's I can understand, but if they insist on rating FR teams, why not assign some number to these players instead of "out of top 100"?

Most raters hav e seen these players like Wynyard many times on their national team.

How would you rate Wynyard? top 50 or better? (What do you foresee his value on the 16-17 team?
UK may be closer to #1 than some think. (with Wynard give an honest rating)

If he was Duke or UNCHEAT he would be ranked top 5!

We are loaded. I just hope these nagging injuries dont carry over into the Duke game.

They rank them with stars but not numbers, yet they still try to claim Murray factored into the team rankings. I don't get how they can't give a guy a number if they think he is good enough to be a 5-star

So, what # would you give Wynyard? Top 50 + or -.........
If his rating was included, UK would have 4 in ESPN top 100..IMO
actually top 40

Even when they try, like in Kanter's case, they under rank them to be safe. I argued about it endlessly here when we were after him and he was "only" the 20-25th ranked player most places.

It's just not a good time/resources investment for these services for the one or two kids a year who might factor in at an elite level.

Wouldn't take much effort when the ones who might factor in at an elite level normally end up playing in some all-star games in the US like the Hoops Summit, for example.

Most of us have only seen him on t.v.as a Jr.in h.s.
Comparing him to U.S. h,s, players, what rating
would give Wynyard?

Earlier, I said top 40....what you say?
