Latest Bolus rankings-Fussell #1

[Indian]

Yes, it is definitely a glaring omission. You should know before you click the link there will be several in any such list. I disagree with "without much thought," though. There has to be some rhyme or reason or he wouldn't have added several new, good freshmen. He has players from one of the state to the other, with west and middle having about an equal number.

 

Any other glaring omissions, other than the obvious ones, the Division I and high-level NAIA type signings?

 

Not insulted, especially since your focus seems to be who isn't on it instead of who is, which is certainly acceptable and appreciated. No need to put down individuals getting recognized.

Jasmine James, mentioned previously as being in the "best of the rest" group, was 6th overall last year-Hassell, Avant, Dupree, Miko Williams, Watkins were the only ones ahead of her.

 

Taylor Mills was brought up a while back for not even being on it, looking on some old lists he did have her in his top 50 (second set of 25) in an alphabetical group, in a 100-player overall list. That was from April 2009. Maybe he just accidentally lost track of her listing. When last year's seniors (Hassell, James, etc) were removed, she wasn't on the next list. I've not seen players fall that far off his rankings, usually if you're in the middle or higher you stay on it through the rest of high school until the senior players are taken off near the end of each school year.

 

New rankings:

Graves, no surprise, at the top. There are some new players in the Memphis area in this set. He has Destiny James near the top, if she's related to Jasmine James hopefully that will make anyone slighted over her early low ranking feel much better. Williams from Mt Juliet is now on it, another missing name that seemed to get people hot under the collar.

Yeah...Shacobia Barbee (AAA State Tourn. MVP & Mid-State Player of the Year) wasn't on last year's list and makes this year's as a 'top sleeper.' Bolus is Bogus.

I would think if he's going to have players on his list, he should at least get their name correct...

 

example: Tyeshia Perry 5-5 So. 2G Murfreesboro Riverdale - s/b Tyeshia PETTY..

He has her just below his top 12 even though as a sleeper, if she's having a good AAU season I'd guess she will be in his top 12 in the next update.

I think this list is for next season.

 

Barbee being the top sleeper is a nice position, but I seriously doubt any of the top 12 could stop her. She is very good.

Chardaryl Clay GPS, Mariah Massengill Silverdale, Mercedes Owen Chattanooga Christian, Tierra Boston Brainerd High, and MiShannon Wilbanks Red Bank were all on the list...... Congrats to our Chattanooga area girls......

One thing I like about it is when he feels a young player is good enough, he puts them up high. There are four rising sophomores in his top 12.
