It was a lot of debating on who would become #1, but Shabazz Muhammed earned. Muhammed had a strong year putting up huge numbers game in and game out and is continuing to do that this spring. He has a great motor and can score at will.
Following right behind is Andre Drummond, the #2 player in the country. He could very well be the next Amare Stoudemire with his length and athletic ability. He has huge potential and could very well be back at #1, but it’s going to take some work.
Coming in next is Isaiah Austin, who probably has even more potential then Drummond. Austin is 7’0 and is one of the most versatile players we’ve seen. He was a strong candidate for #1 as well.
Next is a 6’10 big man by the name of DaJuan Coleman. Coleman reminds us of Zach Randolph and is really tough to guard in the post against other opponents.
Rounding out the top five is the most unique player in the class Kyle Anderson. Anderson has the ability to play all of the positions on the court except Center. He can really create for his teammates and when he’s not doing that he will score.
Brandon Ashley comes in at #6. Ashley is one of the best players on the West Coast and every time we see him he shows why.
Big Movers are Devonta Pollard and Mitch McGary. Pollard comes in at #7 and is off to a huge spring after finishing off a huge high school year. McGary has just dominated the spring and he will be pushing for a top 5 spot in the next rankings if he can keep it up.
The top shooting guard, Ricardo Ledo coming in at #8 is just a huge scoring threat wants he steps on court and that is partly why he is so high in the rankings.
Rodney Purvis makes his first 2012 debate at #10.

Anthony Davis is the fastest rising player ever in our rankings and has the potential to be the next Kevin Durant. While Austin Rivers has made it clear he is the best scorer in the class of 2011. The new and final rankings are out.
Parker is probably the most talented player in the class of 2013 and his skill level is off the charts. Thomas has game and can score when he wants and Noel reminds me of a young Kevin Durant. Julius Randle is just a beast and is trying to hold on to that #1 spot.
Andre Drummond is off to a strong spring showing why he is the #1 player in the class, but DaJuan Coleman, Shabazz Muhammad, and Isaiah Austin are also making a strong case. Shabazz had a dominating junior season and was in the running for Gatorade Player of the Year honors. DaJuan is dominating at the EYBL this spring and looking to make a push for the top spot. Isaiah Austin is a versatile big man. He has potential that is out of this world and is up there will Andre Drummond. He has also made a case for #1.
