..like Blue Star.

Take a look at the link to the Top Ten Rankings:

- In 2019, guard Celeste Taylor is ranked #4 in the country, considerably higher than the other rankings:
- In 2020, Kylee Watson, whose star has been fading, is BS's #1 and Maddie Burke is #9.

What do these three players all have in common? They all play for the Philly Belles, run by Mike Flynn, who also owns Blue Star.

This is not say Taylor, Watson and Burke are all not going to end up being productive D1 players, but vested interests can often nudge a ranking here or there, even at a young age.

And it's not to say that Flynn and his Blue Star cohorts can't give a spot-on appraisal. It's just that sometimes business priorities and assessments get in the same box....That's why I always take an average (or something like that) of these ratings services.
