These are the top 10 players IMO in the 2016 class. What are yours???

Is your list Ranked in order or is that just your 10?

I was going to ask the same thing. Beverly and Wright are the top 2 for sure.

I bet this is a tough class to rank.

 

Goodin is holding an offer or two from BCS schools. Does anyone else from this class hold any offers from BCS schools and if so, who? Shouldn't Goodin be #1 by default?

I got to watch Colton Elkins play the other day and if he keeps improving.......:eek: :eek: :eek:

There are another 10 players I can think of who aren't on the list in post #1. This is a really talented class. Goodin and Beverly have some big time offers and interest.

Goodin is a stud, but at this point his offers are on upside. He definitely has the potential to be one of the best to ever come out of the state, but if I need a PG today, Beverly is my guy.

My list was in order by who I think are the top 10. I would love to hear your choices, and when making my list I also took future potential into account. That's why Eli Wright is #1. He is a 6'4" SF/SG that looks like he has another 3 inches to grow. Most of you did not know who this kid was a year ago and now he is top 10 in the State. Just like you all; college coaches are just starting to hear about him. Give him one more season of AAU Wwith the right program and he will have more Major D1 offers than anyone else. Future potential is why Braxton is not higher up on my list. He is a heck of a player but may struggle when it comes to size and athleticism at the next level. Malik Dow would be higher if his ball handling was stronger. Carson Williams is the only player I have seen in is class that is virtually unstoppable. I would like to see how he plays on the perimeter a little more. Faulkner and Sharpe have to be on here because of how they played with Team Manimal. They were the glue that held that team together and both are pure shooters. However, Tyler Sharpe has a lot of work to do when it comes to creating his own shot off e dribble.

Wireman, I would love to see your top 10.

So your top 20? And to the Goodin/Beverly comments above, given skill and anticipated maturation, what are your top 20 as it relates to end of 2016 as opposed to today (not an easy task, granted).

Predicting the end is nearly impossible, but my top 3 predictions, in order:

Goodin

Wright

Dow

Agree that it is a difficult task. But I guess what Im asking for is related more to potential than where they are today. Factor in things such as can they play their position at the next level; do they look to be done growing and maturing; can they defend and handle well enough to play at the next level (given their position); can what they are relying on today translate to the next level if they are done maturing? And by next level, I dont mean all necessarily mean D1!

 

Of the kids mentioned, I think some are mostly "done" while others aren't close. And I can think of some others that appear to have more upside that perhaps should be on the list.

 

Agree that Goodin has the opportunity to be the best. His struggle is figuring out his position. He's not a PG, yet not truly a SG.

I think the kid with some of the most potential hasn't even been mentioned yet.

Goodin is the #1 player in this class.

I think the kid with some of the most potential hasn't even been mentioned yet.

 

Based on some of your previous comments, I'm guessing you are referring to the Ayres kid?
