Someone explain this crystal ball stuff to an old man.

Been seeing it the past few months and I have to admit I don't know what it means or who picks it.

on 247 guys from all over like UK reporters , UM reporters , national reporters ect make picks add them up and you get ball .

20-40 guys who may or may not know anything about college basketball vote on where they think a player will commit. Some of them vote once, some will change their vote when they believe something different. And the percentage of voters = percentage of the Crystal Ball. 10 voters...6 think that a player is going to Kentucky and 4 think he is going to Florida then Crystal Ball is 60% Kentucky and 40% Florida. The reality is that there are 6-8 of them that really try to understand where the player is going. Some are bias, some are not.

There are 5 or 6 that I look at and they are regularly right. All 6 pick Kansas for Diallo...Bad news is they are split on Brown between UK and Michigan. I am not sure anyone knows for sure except maybe Brown...
