But they were talking the top 100, out of the over one million kids who play HS football, so you would think if the talent evaluations meant anything then those kids should be virtual locks. And in fact, it seemed like most of them went to major college programs and could have and should have been able to "make the jump." But, some failed in college and then some after. Just seems to cast doubt on the rankings. The average fan on here posting mock drafts by the score could generate a top 100 list as accurate as that one, apparently.
How do you essentially rank the 2 best high school players in each state out of the thousands of high schools?
Who's to say that one players 1,500 receiving yards is better than anothers? It's all highly subjective too. This isn't Madden where you can see absolute ratings too.
Some kids peak in high school too and don't develop more physically later.
