Give your rankings of the states top ninth graders. 1-10 with positions

It's early or rather these players are to young for rankings, next year will tell more.

 

Our 3, Ware, Jones, Mason and Brownsville's Taylor can be really good.

 

2 from the SE Elite have always impressed me, Henly and Williams.

The Travelers Dowdle and their G Caldwell have a chance to be big-time players.

 

This class could develop into a strong class nationally. I'd love to see these guys on the floor together.

Roger Dykes And Harlan Ellis are monstors they play for the Internationl commitee of ballers.

I agree strongly with bigyomca. It is rather early to rank the class of 2008, but from the action that I have seen this summer, the following players have to be mentioned among the state's elite freshmen:

 

Memphis YOMCA - Ware, Mason, Jones

 

TN Travelers - Dowdell, Caldwell, Damron

 

SE Elite - Henley and Williams

 

TN Thunder - Williams

 

I am sure there are other freshmen worthy of being mentioned, but these are the freshmen that I have seen that standout statewide currently.

McAdoo plays for the TN Thunder 16U. He has a lot of potential. Great athlete and long. Needs to develop more back to the basket skills though. Has a decent mid range jumper.

[running riot]

Roger Dykes can hang he dunked it one step in front of the back board backwards this kid is amazing..

[Meany]

Team Angels has Lawrence Bowers a 6''7 kid that can play inside and out from Elliston Baptist

 

6'2 Jarvis Jones from Mitchell High

 

5'10 Eric Buggs from White Station

 

5'10 Malcolm Burton from Ridgeway

 

6'5 Darryl Neal from Melrose

 

6'4 Kaylen Durham from White Station

 

6'6 Lewis McCaster from Mitchell High -baby Shaq!

 

all are names to remember from Memphis and 2 kids from Earle Arkansas that can really play in 6''3 Steve Meridith (very versatile athlete) and 6'2 Daniel Hurst.

Marcus Jefferson is easily the best player on the Thunder 15U by a long shot though I think Upton is a solid player as well. I am not sold by any means on Williams' game. He isnt bad, but he isnt in the same class as those guys above. I dont know how he played in the state, but i have seen him this year and in years past and he deserves consideration.
