Class of 2012 Rankings

There is some movement in our rankings, but the one that everyone will be talking about is the change at the #1 spot. That's right, Marcus Paige has taken over the throne after having a stellar summer leading his team to a ton of victories and looking very good against some of the best players in the country. On the other hand, Wesley Staten was not seen or heard from much. We still like his size and athleticism, but out of sight, out of mind.

Ultra-quick point guard, Dwight Sistrunk, moved up a few spots after having a very nice run this summer. He is still small, but he is the real deal. Kale Abrahamson also jumped up a few spots by proving he has a knack for making the jumper. Another riser is guard Darren Stringfellow.

We aren't sure what to make of this class just yet, but there is certainly some very good talent from top to bottom. We are excited to see what happens this winter when they play for a shot at the state tournament. Remember, this is the last time we will update the rankings until after the high school season is over.
