Computer rips Staples

Right before national signing day I linked to a story about Andy Staples of SI.com going head to head against a computer in attemtping to determine where the last 17 remaining top prospects were going to play college ball. Turns out the computer blasted Staples. Staples came in at 4 out of 16 (25%) while the computer was correct on 9 of 16 (56.3%).

On 5 of the prospects both the computer and Staples were wrong.

One player has yet to choose a school.
