I respect this kid's entrepreneurial spirit, I just find him to be too low brow for my tastes. My first time watching one of his videos in its entirety. My instincts were right to not waste my valuable time on his material as it adds little value.
His "system" is nothing new. Hockey Futures has a similar system, only they further split out each tier. They use numbers and letters, which could be drawn out into a pyramid.
The funny thing about his video is he starts out saying its annoying to rank players and then spends ten minutes RANKING the Leafs prospects. Sure you've got tiers instead of a list to avoid ranking within tiers, but if anything you will have greater debate if a guy is put in tier 3 and others think he's tier 2. The crux of his argument is who wants to debate how to rank guys 12-15, but really, who does that? People with too much time on their hands, that's who.
He lost me at the beginning when he arbitrarily removed certain guys from his pyramid.
My recommendation is to gather some friends over a nice bottle of brandy in the TV house on your estate and just watch the players careers unfold.
Was that sarcasm or a not so subtle jab?
