Katin Reinhardt has officially parted ways with USC. Katin is rated #54 in the Rise Top 100 rankings. He helped lead Mater Dei to a state championship this past year and is also having a good spring.
One of the top shooting guards in the country Trevor Lacey, stayed home and committed to Alabama. Lacey chose Alabama over Kentucky, Kansas, Auburn, and Uconn.
After a week of consideration, Nick Faust committed back to Maryland. Faust was released his letter of intent once Gary Williams left Maryland. As Mark Turgeon took the job at Maryland, Faust needed to know Maryland was still the right choice for him.
N.C State has gotten a verbal from highly regarded shooting guard Torian Graham. Graham is an extremely athletic wing and capable of making big plays. He will now join Tyler Lewis for N.C State 2012 class.
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.
