[quote=Anonymous]The rankings are pretty useless. Basically, if you get mentioned in a TDS article, you’re on their radar. Top ranked players are those listed as going to a national team camp but after that it’s a crapshoot. Just on the teams I’m very familiar with, l I’ve seen bench players be ranked above star players because the bench player got mentioned in an article (showcase event, star committed so only played a little and out of position). Goal scorers from teams that post box scores most likely to be represented bec most TDS recaps are just from “reporting” the top stats from the weekend games; only a very little is from eye witness reporting. For commitments, a parent/ player has to first submit it to TDS before it’s posted but I don’t believe they follow up with the school to verify. Also, TDS will add commitments after signing days based on a school’s press releases or twitter postings. [/quote]
