The Bodda Getta

Irish,

We could get really silly and apply a Tukey-Kramer analysis or any of a 1/2 dozen other statistical pair-wise, post hoc comparisons, and I'd think we'd get exactly what you conclude -- there are no statistical differences among the top 10.

Gooooood Gaaaaaawwwwd! I love your ardor, I even share it, because well, it's FUN, isn't it... but really now, we have exceeded ridiculous, and I am probably more guilty than any of you, because, GAWD help me, I LOVE this stuff. Wait a moment... I'm over breathing... Okay, now, that's better. Here it is:

None of this is truly measurable for so many reasons: A) the kids may or may not grow another inch, may or may not gain 15 lbs., B) may have a career ending injury in their senior year of high school, C) may or may not become faster, D) may have a lousy senior season, E) may be arrested for any number of things before they ever set foot on a college campus, F) it is still, er... only almost August, so half our commits could change their minds!, G) Some may never qualify academically, H) Some will have personal problems that keep them from going to college at at all, and I) May drop a star between now and Signing Day.

So all this begs the question: WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH do we put ourselves through this mumbo jumbo? I'll tell you why: Because we LOVE IT! WDE! :-)
