i think its great that so man y of these kids are knocking down Norm's door begging him for a scholarship.

Iona signee Trinity Fields on the 11th team?

WOW doron lamb 9th team?!?!?!?!?!?! absolute joke.  he should be at least 3rd team. omari's too low, and russ smith is way too high. 

and where's astan pankey or collier?  just because they are in NJ now doesn't mean they shouldn't be included.  they are grasping for straws with some of their center choices...

also kinda funny we offered kyrie sutton and he's not even on the list (deservedly so..)

You are more familiar with the situation than I but this is more based on statistical merit not in terms of potential prospect worth. Did Lamb out produce some guys who might have had seriously inflated stats out in long island?

he was 4th in the CHSAA in scoring averaging 22 ppg.

unlike russ smith he doesn't chuck and plays within the scheme and plays on a very good team.

It appears upperclassman were heavily favored.

Ben Cronin on the 1st team is a joke!  Kid is so overrated.  He has improved in the last couple years but he can barely walk without tripping over himself let alone run.  I was just a decent player in highschool and i threw the kid around the paint.

Where is Mookie Jones???

Mookie didn't have a good year but I would've thought he would be on here based on his name alone.

Interesting??? I am surprised. The Cuse is getting a good one.
