Who can forget that on paper they were supposed to have the vastly superior freshman class last season.

Sure, Marto has a strong offensive upside and Genoway has a good lineage (if that counts for anything) but I'd love to know how they earned 3 stars and were ranked above players that are probably better collegiate prospects than they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-1139889949947578762006-02-13T22:05:00.000-06:002006-02-13T22:05:00.000-06:00Balint and sellers both michigan boys have been do...Balint and sellers both michigan boys have been doing great since you posted this article, only 2 stars why is that? Sellers is great at setting up plays and balint has hands and vision with a scoring touch. Both should have at the least 3 stars, kinda funny how some kids with 4 stars , there dad or the political views are ranked high.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-1138743955990329652006-01-31T15:45:00.000-06:002006-01-31T15:45:00.000-06:00That link didn't really come through (at least on ...That link didn't really come through (at least on my screen).

(ie. fun).. Read it , like it, dislike it, agree with it, be pissed off by it... Its all good. Heck just because its written that these guys will have an impact on where they're going means nothing but conversation fodder. In fact the scouts that flip flop all over the country get it wrong.. Not an exact science folks. These guys are all going somewhere. Its their job to make the impact. And, alot of them are going to be awfully surprised when they get there how some no name without the hype cleans their clock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-1138648827675857792006-01-30T13:20:00.000-06:002006-01-30T13:20:00.000-06:00This is a blogspot blog with a color scheme of ora...This is a blogspot blog with a color scheme of orange and also-orange. How much more of a disclaimer do you need?<BR/><BR/>People are welcome to take everything on here as seriously as they want. It's just my opinion. I've never made any claims about my abilities or credibility.<BR/><BR/>No, I haven't seen every player play, just like everyone else in the world. Do I think I was able to more accurately rate the 20 or so players that I have seen play? Not really. <BR/><BR/>Obviously scouting players the way that college programs do is the ideal way to do things. But how many fans have the ability to do that type of thing? Most of the people that asked for the star rating system were casual college hockey fans at best, and I think the list gives them a fair amount of information. You're right that it's probably not the greatest system, but compared to what else is out there, it's probably one of the best, and definitely the most accessible.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427994425310961446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-1138648512029826412006-01-30T13:15:00.000-06:002006-01-30T13:15:00.000-06:00Hey anon, how do you know that Chris hasn't seen m...Hey anon, how do you know that Chris hasn't seen most of these guys play? We have been attending a lot more prep games this season, and we get a lot of games on tv as well. No, he hasn't seen everyone on that list.

Nobody forces you to read the comments area.<BR/><BR/>If rating guys is all about reading stat lines and press clippings, I can only wonder why college coaches pound the pavement to scout prospects most of the year. All they have to do is surf the net and they can get all the answers they want. Just think of all the money those college programs can now save by not having to have a recruiting budget.<BR/><BR/>Yep Kevin, you are right. All those NHL front offices and all these college coaches have been doing it the wrong way all of these years. Don't watch players play the game, just read the boxscores and read the local media report on the games. Those experienced hockey people are lucky to have you around to tell them how to do things the right way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-1138645860740928532006-01-30T12:31:00.000-06:002006-01-30T12:31:00.000-06:00Seriously, do you people have anything better to d...Seriously, do you people have anything better to do then sit around and crap on this blog every chance you get?<BR/><BR/>No, it's really not that difficult, because even if you can't personally go see every player (which, by the way, I'm pretty sure nobody has done), there are other ways to get reports on how players have done and put together your own perspective.<BR/><BR/>Like I've said before, if you don't like it, don't read it, and for the love of god quit threadcrapping.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-1138632614085195552006-01-30T08:50:00.000-06:002006-01-30T08:50:00.000-06:00A bit difficult to put an opinionated list togethe...A bit difficult to put an opinionated list together that rates a group of players in which many of whom you haven't seen with your own two eyes, isn't it? <BR/><BR/>I can respect trying to put something together but I think there should be a massive disclaimer next to any list that any <B>fan</B> puts together because we know a large portion of those players are being rated on something other than personal observations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
