I yearn for the days of the red white and blue basketballs. Dr J and Deon Taylor have high ambitions to re-launch the legendary league. Let's wish them the best!

In 2007, Blake's RSCI was #16.

For example, breaking down the above findings to see if overall Scouts Inc. has been better than Rivals, or Scout.com better than All Star Report, etc.

I imagine they'll all kind of be mushed together in there, but it would be interesting to see if perhaps one stood above the others.

Cant wait to see how they produce good luck Dr. J and Deon Taylor.

Add me to the list of people interested in whether years of college, controlling for HS ranking, significantly predicted NBA success. My intuition and a quick look at the list tells me it didn't.

Thanks for your work Neil.

Also, Ronald Curry, became a pro football player. There maybe others in this list that switched sports.

You also missed the other Bobby Jones, 2002, #97.

You will see that hard work is the key, if you love this game you must start at your young age and practice makes you not as perfect but the best as you can be!
