I mean, that really isn't a bad quote. You do not want your head coach to make decisions based on any third-party recruiting rankings.

The problem isn't even with O's "rankings" (though I certainly wouldn't be shocked if his personal evaluation skills are not that truly top tier), the problem is that he's lying and there are players that were higher in "his" rankings too but he could not get them.

If my head coach actually thinks, after scouting, that a consensus 3-star is better than a consensus 5-star, then that is ok. But its not like that's what we are talking about here.

To say that you don't trust anyone's ranking but your own is ignorant though.

Something like "I take a lot of perspectives, evaluations into consideration when evaluating a player but my own judgements figure most prominently into my decision making" makes much more sense. Why wouldn't you welcome as much sound information as possible?

So you trust Ed Orgeron has the capacity to make decisions that are against/contrary to consensus rankings because he is coaching on such a high level? I sure don't.
