One version of the final top 150. Enjoyed the tidbits just below to rankings. Any ranking that doesn't include 'Maine Sanders in the top 150 is a joke.

Why do you keep calling him 'Maine? Is that his nickname or something?

Supposedly Sanders is underranked, but do any services have him in the top 150?

Not that I'm aware of. I've seen Jermaine, Ge'Lawn, Shaq, and Davis play in person. Jermaine is not flashy he could go unnoticed if he wasn't so good. All he does is put up numbers. Inside out or outside in, he finds a way to score and he has a great looking shot. He's just a solid player. You don't notice him and at the end of the game he has 18 points, 5-6 rebs, 2-3 assist. Mick made no secret of how highly he thought of him by saying he was a guy we had to get because he can come in and play right away. My only concern is will his lateral movement allow him to guard more athletic wings? As hard as this kid works I know he'll do all he can to become leaner and quicker.

Guyn ranked in at number 5 on their post grad list

The rankings mention that the Top 6 post grads would have been ranked between 110-130 on the Top 150 HS seniors list. That would give us 3 Top 150 recruits (Davis, Thomas, and Guyn). There are many who follow recruiting that think that Jermaine Sanders will be the incoming recruit that not only will have the most immediate impact next year, but may be the best of the group. Surprisingly, he isn't on any of the lists. Lends more credence to BearcatJeff's assertion that any Top 150 list that doesn't include Sanders is a joke.

Fact is that there is always going to be an element of opinion involved in recruiting. A lot of ratings involve the "expert" projecting how good a player will be at the high D1 level. Most of these guys are huge on giving consideration to speed and athleticism. A good flashy player will get the nod over a good fundamentally steady player every time. That said it is somewhat confusing to me how a guy that many believe is the top 1-3 players in New York can't break the top 50. I think he is a top 75 guy.

I meant to say it amazes me he can't break the top 150.
