Perhaps the most notable bit of information revolves around who isn't listed. Baylor has not landed any recruit listed. I know they are in on some of the top players but I have to think some of the Baylor fans are getting nervous.

This is wrong in that Ortiz has now moved up to #20 in the country but it shows our commitments.

I think OU will move into the top 15 in the country as soon as they update the list.

National rankings for Ortiz I have seen:

FullCourt - 20
Blue Star Basketball - 37
Espn Hoopgurlz - 42
Prospects Nation - 45

I think some of the Hoopgurlz evaluators went to Prospects Nation when espn abandoned Hoopgurlz. That may explain the two ratings being similar.

I could be wrong but, it seems to me that ProspectNation tends to favor players in the southeast part of the country where they conduct various tournaments.

That would not surprise me...if for no other reason than those are the players they see the most. It always seemed to me that Clay Kallum (when he had the website that ultimately got bought by espn) favored players that were from California particularly SF Bay area players...the area he lived and the players he saw most often.
