    A quick, unscientific look at how well the recruiting sites predict future success

    Okay, so here is a quick, unscientific look at how well the recruiting sites predict future success. There are tons of different ways to look at this, and my method is woefully inadequate, but hopefully we’ll get a general idea. The records at Scout and Rivals go back to 2002. I'll try to take a look at ESPN soon, but their damn 100-point system makes comparisons difficult.

    So, basically I just looked at the first-round draft picks in the NFL going back to 2005 and saw how each site rated them. Here are the results:

    2005 Draft – There were only seven players from this draft in the two sites’ databases.

    Rivals – 4 four-stars, 1 three-star, 2 two-stars
    Scout – 1 four star, 4 three stars, two unrated players

    The two sites disagreed about every one of these players:

    Alex Smith (02) – Rivals 2*, Scout NR
    Adam Jones (02) Rivals 2*, Scout NR
    Troy Williamson (02) – Rivals 4*, Scout 3*
    Mike Williams (02) – Rivals 4*, Scout 3*
    Shawne Merriman (02) – Rivals 4*, Scout 3*
    Fabian Washington (02) - Rivals 4*, Scout 3*
    Aaron Rodgers (03) – Rivals 3*, Scout 4*

    2006 Draft – Eight of the players taken in the first round of the 2006 Draft were 2001 recruits, and thus, there was no official ranking for them at any of the sites. Of the 24 remaining players drafted that year:

    Rivals – 5 five-stars, 13 four-stars, 4 three-stars, 2 two-stars
    Scout – 6 five-stars, 8 four-stars, 3 three-stars, 2 two-stars, 5 unrated players

    The two sites agreed on 12 players. The disagreements were as follows:

    Reggie Bush (03) – Rivals 5*, Scout 4*
    Donte Whitner (03) – Rivals 4*, Scout 5*
    Broderick Bunkley (02) – Rivals 4*, Scout NR
    Antonio Cromartie (03) – Rivals 4*, Scout 5*
    Laurence Maroney (03) – Rivals 4*, Scout 2*
    Manny Lawson (02) – Rivals 2*, Scout NR
    Davin Joseph (02) – Rivals 4*, Scout 3*
    Jonathan Joseph – (04) Rivals 3*, Scout 4*
    Santonio Holmes (02) – Rivals 3*, Scout 4*
    John McCargo (02) – Rivals 2*, Scout NR
    De’Angelo Williams (02) – Rivals 4*, Scout NR
    Nick Mangold (02) – Rivals 4*, Scout NR

    No clue.

    Still not over this weekend and how it went down.

    Losing is one thing. I can deal with that. Not showing up is another.

    31-84... That is the Lions record (as of 09/22/2008) during the Matt Millen era.

    An era defined accurately defined as the worst 8 consecutive years in NFL history.

    Where lies the blame ? Was this a coincidence of injuries ? Perhaps a plane crash or catastrophic team illness ?

    No.. the blame here rests with talent.. or lack there of. Lack of talent on the field.. lack of talent coaching the players on the field.. lack of talent managing the team.. lack of talent owning ...

    Now.. right off the back, I realize that everything that has happen to the Lions isn't the media's fault.. I'm not saying that.

    But in roughly 10 months, the Free Press along with the Detroit News drove Kwame Kilpatrick out of office... granted... he had committed felony crimes.

    But aren't William Clay Ford & Matt Millen felons against the fans of Lions ...
