My thing is -- if you were a recruiting guru and a "fan" of the school that you are covering -- would it not then HELP that school in many ways by underrating guys and hoping that they don't get seen much or talked about? While it hurts public perception -- does that not ACTUALLY help your team on the field? Dez Harris is a pretty good example of this...

Or does it help the school more to hype the hell out of guys and overrate them where you can -- leading to a heightened public perception that can potentially lead a self-fulfilling prophecy with other higher-rated guys?
