==Critics Circle==

ScoutingGuru is also been a term loosely used to describe GMs or scouts that find talent that defies the main stream scouts and media. When thisa player is brought in as a free agent there isn't much fanfare, but if he is drafted the critics come out in droves to criticize that teams scouting department for not taking a mainstream hyped player. The criticism is mainly created by the media and fans to support their lack of understanding or knowledge of a players potential. These players are also known as '''flying under the radar''' if suddenly other teams take a late interest.
