Sharky, do you work for Mckeens or something? Not to raise a red flag but your list looks extremely similar to me. When I looked at the similarities I noticed 1 guy different from their top 30, and one guy different from their top 50. Where the similarities are also similar is the rest of the top 100. I see very little difference between the two lists, many guys are listed exactly as they are in Mckeens related to their regional rankings. You also listed Cody Bass twice.
Again I hate to bring something like this up, but I might as well cancel my subscription to Mckeens if Sharkie can just post their top 100 list.
Yeah I noticed I made a couple of errors even after double checking, I believe Gauthier and Oreskovich were listed at the bottom when I meant to have them higher... I always do something like that.
Yeah I use McKeens and ISS, both of which I have subscriptions too, to help me get a grasp on players who I have never seen. A guy like Anze Kopitar, I would never see him my self but ISS really sold me on him and his recent tournament play, then McKeens pointed out Brian Lee before anyone else knew about him and now Team USA picks him up for their U-20 team, and now they're raving about this Niskanen kid out of High School so I put him in there. Plus McKeens really helps with each players up to date size.
But last I checked my list is quite different and I have multiple players they don't have and I have multiple players missing who they do have. A guy like Jordan Lavalle makes my top 60 yet he's no in their top 100, a guy like Latendresse is my 23rd player, they view him as the 7th best prospect.... It's just the way it is I guess.
BTW A friend said he heard Mark Stuart of the USNTDP is going to the USHL and we'll see him soon in Green Bay. Is this really true? The Same 6-5 Mark Stuart? Did he get kicked off the U-18 team?
