ESPN Gives Props to Mick's 2007 Class

[bearcatn8]

ESPN ranks UC's 2007 recruiting class as 14th best in the nation.

Again, you've got to give all the credit in the world to what Mick has been able to do in a short time.

How much does it cost to be an insider?

How accurate is this recruiting tracker? I don't see Bost anywhere on the list of considering guys and there's a few guys in the 2007 considering group that I've never heard of. That's not really saying much because I'm not nearly as big a follower as some of y'all but I really didn't recognize those names.

If anyone can look at this list and comment on the "considering" guys for '07 and some missing names (Bost, Fortson) I'd appreciate it.

Bost is inaccurate almost everywhere you look. He is a 2007 player and is most likley going to reclassify to 2008. However, he is trying to get in at 2007 so it is a little off with him right now.

Word is that Fortson and UC are not as strong as once thought now a days.

I don't have access to the file. Do they inlclude Mike Williams with the class or just the new recruits?

No, it does not include Mike Williams, only the 2007 recruits. Interestingly, it also says UC has a 2009 verbal commitment from Jason Clark, a SG. Not familiar with him. It does have McElroy also listed as a verbal. Another new name to me, for 2008, under considering UC, is Darnarius Robinson, a 6'10" center. Do you know anything about either of these names?

What I don't get is, why does every recruiting service include Bill Walker in their 2007 recruiting lists when he played in 2006? I would think if he plays in 2006 he has to be classified as a 2006. Makes no sense to me. If that is the case, include Mike Williams and Adam H. in this years class.

Final recruiting rankings
From Bob Gibbons, Scouts Inc.
Here is a final ranking of the nation's top 25 recruiting classes with the team's ranking after the early signing period in parentheses.
1. (2) USC
3. (7) Florida
4 (4). Indiana: Signed six players
Kelvin Sampson's class features All-American guard Eric Gordon. The Hoosiers' spring addition was 6-8 C/F DeAndre Thomas from Chipola Junior College (Fla.).
5. (1) Kansas State:
6. (5) Duke:
7. (-) Kentucky: The addition of Patterson elevates this class. It also landed a top-30 prospect in 6-5 G/F Alex Legion, who was granted a release by Michigan after Tommy Amaker was fired.
9. (8) Ohio State: Signed five players
Coach Thad Matta has another top-10 class but no one to replace Greg Oden. I am sure Matta hopes Mike Conley and Daequan Cook withdraw from the NBA draft.
11. (9) Purdue:
14. (-) Cincinnati:
Coach Mick Cronin brings his Bearcats into the top 15 by adding spring signees 6-11 C Anthony McClain, 6-6 F Jason Henry and 6-5 G Alvin Mitchell.

Umm...okay, thanks. I saw the other thread that had the exact same thing and I'm not sure why you quote me on this. Does this have anything to do with what I previously said?
