But you called the scout, right? He hadn't seen the statistic on Max Preps; in fact, he hadn't heard of the player until you brought him up. So it's not really the stats that got the scout's attention, it's a guy called "Stats." Your's is a prominent section with a lot of strong teams and pro prospects. Seems like all this proves is that scouts looking for talent in that area are not doing so by checking statistics in Max Preps.

The reason he hadn’t seen the stat was he wasn’t aware MP was doing it. Now that he does he’ll be looking at it.

There are probably 100 local scouts and stringers around here if not more and each has his/her own way of finding talented players. So it seems like all it proves is, not all scouts refuse to look at stats.
