Highest rated class I can think of since Chris Herren's class...Only going to get better in a few weeks.

I could get used to this.

Doesn't sheer # of recruits play into this? I'm excited about what's happening, little skeptical about those rankings though

wow, thats pretty sweet, Larkin and or Cunningham could only move us up those lists.

Slightly but I can't recall our '07 class (the now seniors) being this high and we had some people with impressive offer sheets (Rakim & Josh come to mind)

Larkin is another top 100 kid on their list. To be honest, I think they may have Caudill rated a little too highly here.

Caudill is a slightly odd case; he appears to have been quite highly rated a couple of years ago (hence the early offer and verbal commit with Arizona State), but more recently his stock has gone down with many of the scouting services. If he fulfills his earlier potential, he could turn out to be a major recruiting steal. Weight and conditioning might be a major issue with him, and that can certainly be dealt with if Caudill is prepared to make the effort (and it's hard to imagine Donahue recruiting him if he isn't).

Not many big men on the list. The only guy over 6'9" above BC is the kid going to Duke. Are there a lot of bigs who haven't committed, or is Caudill on there by default?

Pretty cool video of the Double Pump Elite team winning the adidas 64 tournament in Las Vegas (which Lonnie Jackson and Kyle Caudil play on):



Overall, Jackson looked pretty good with his shot and his hustle on one of those rebounds. Caudill looked good on offense (especially with passing to cutters) but looked a little rigid on the defensive end.
