At a large showcase, such as PG National, how many people do you have rating the players. Is the rating you assign a player done by an individual, or is it a consensus type thing. I am simply curious on the process on how you guys rate (apparently accurately)so many kids, in such a short time.

That is a fair question.

I believe we had at least a dozen scouts and several others coaching and running skills at last year's PG National. We also film every single part of the event. There are several high level MLB scouts that help us too.

When the event ends we compile and enter every note by every scout into the database. Then three people write reports and assign grades. Those results are sent out to all those people who were at the event for revue and to comment on.

Only after all that is done do we publish any reports or grades.

While we feel we are accurate, many people might argue. When there are that many talented players at one place, it's hard to be perfect in ranking them.

No arguement here. Based on the events we attended and the kids I've seen reported on that I've watched over a season or two, PG does a very good job and "nails" kids most of the time. Of course, I have the benefit of 20-20 hindsight with a college senior in the family. Y'all got most of the kids I know right, including mine.

PG- Do you evaluate players at the Stanford All-Star camp?

We do get reports from the Stanford camp, but don't send any of our own scouts. It is a great event though, especially for those with good academic records.
