Prospects Oddity

Have a plyer who when looking at top 100 is rated #10 overall but when you look at my teams top prospects he's not in top 10????

Remember that the "top 100" is based on "an average scout" so he may not be one of your top players.

does it matter that we have scouts/coaches turned off. Figured with that it would be avg scouts both for my team and top 100?

Maybe turning off scouts and coaches doesn't affect the prospect report for the top 100, and there's still some error involved? Or does everybody have average coaches and scouts with coaches off, and so every average scout has his own evaluation of a player?

Steve, any insight on this?

I do know that all "average" scouts are not created equal with "scouts ON", but I would think things should be when they are off.... needs further research.
