His list is a nice read and good entertainment, but please don't think for one minute there aren't kids out there in non-hotbed areas just as good as our "Ty ranked" players.


I agree there seems to be a lean towards the big programs from the notheast. But I can count tons of West Coast Stars and kids from Texas programs that he puts on his list and writes about. The only way to vet his list is in 3 or 4 years people need to call out all the kids he did not write about that turn into studs. But I am guessing the hit or miss ratio will be the same as the high school basketbal and football list.
