CB had Walker at 80% to UCLA, 7% Florida State. Was a big last minute run for UCLA and he goes to FSU. Hasn't been a good year for the Crystal Ball to say the least.
 
Another decent player goes to a school where he'll never get past a Sweet 16.
 
Is there solid evidence that the Crystal Ball has been doing very poorly overall? Not doubting you, just that the misses probably seem magnified. The only other one I can think of from this season was Knox which was obviously a huge whiff

It's not typical where they have misses where literally almost none of their experts were right, and they've had a couple of those this year.

Thats a good point. Its not super bad if its like 60/40 and the kid goes to the school with 40, but not a single "expert" predicting the school he ends up choosing is a bad look. Still, recruiting is such a random guessing game so I think the crystal ball is better than nothing.
