Your Source For Recruiting Information

Hey,

Thanks for the note. I'm going to work on the final senior rankings next week. Good call on Anderson and Austin — they're both going to rise in our final estimation!

It's too early to know for sure, and frankly I don't change the rankings as much during the season because the competition levels vary so much. I do think Semaj Christon is due for a big raise, as well as Glenn Robinson.

Johnson is one of the best athletes in the nation, without question.

True. His recruitment has been very strange, to say the least.

I'd say he would rank somewhere in the 8-12 range. I don't know if he'll be effective this season due to the sudden change, but certainly by next year he'll be a beast.

Interesting. Dawkins would have been top 25 in the 2009 class, Drummond was No. 1 post-summer prior to the switch, and Alex Murphy would have been top 20, slightly ahead of Gbinije.

Top of the class at #1... They're also in pursuit of GA C Tony Parker. Along with national caliber NV PG Dominic Artis, that foursome would make for a great class.

He reportedly plans to announce this week. He's a big, strong center who plays very hard and for that reason possesses a lot of value for high-major teams. He will need to become much more skilled to make an impact offensively, however.

At this juncture, Seton Hall and Loyola-Marymount appear to be the leaders. In late-April, he reportedly pledged to Wyoming.

Hey Donnell,

We'll be revamping all those lists in a few weeks for the fall magazine, including a new top 200 on seniors, etc. But I've upfitted Frazier to the list now!

Thanks, and hope you're well.

Here's what we're definitely looking to cover, subject to change:

Adidas Invitational (Indianapolis)
King City Classic (Cleveland)
Peach Jam (N. Augusta, SC)
Las Vegas Week
AAU 17-under Nationals

See you from the road!

Hey Droopy,

Thanks! We're working on them. We'll be putting the finishing touches on a print issue early next week, and I'm hoping to at least get the 2011s up prior to that. And then 2012 (there's a new No. 1!) and 2013 (no actual rankings yet) thereafter.

I like that move. He had the look of a 50-75 prospect in the 2011 class, and I like his poise and leadership. He won't be a star but definitely can help UF.

Hey Droopy.

Thanks for the feedback. It's really difficult to make spot decisions on those schools because it's such a fine line, but that's definitely something to consider. Glad you liked it!

I couldn't possibly put that kind of hype on him, but he's definitely a legitimate No. 1 recruit who would give the No. 1s in the classes ahead of him all they could handle.

Definitely I do agree that it's his talent along with the intangibles that make him such a weapon.

I like him. He's a terrific rebounder and an energy player on offense, though not particularly skilled. I think he projects as a role player for a major program, and definitely a good one.

I haven't seen these guys yet but definitely have heard of most. Will see them this spring!
