There are a couple Bradley guys on this list. The Chicago Sun Times high school basketball writer Joe Henricksen looks back and re-ranks the class of 2009-

funny how he only hints and doesn't really make mention of all the kids that he and others had way at the top of their rankings - that they had horribly overrated....
I know hindsight is always better - but they did miss a bunch on several talented kids who should have been ranked higher...and some lower
Darius Smith is one but Kyle Rowley (was #1 at one point, "Rowley right now is possibly the best bigman prospect since ex-Thornwood star Eddy Curry" !!), Diamond Taylor, Nik Garcia, David Brown, Tony Nixon, Cully Payne, Terrence Johnson, Shaun Pratl, Zeke Upshaw, Courtney Bell, and D'Mitri Riggs were all ranked by most of those guys - well above the likes of Pross, Dyricus, Robert Covington -
Former Missouri State basketball coach Cuonzo Martin told me D'mitri Riggs was a much better prospect than Simms-Edwards. Guess he was wrong.Originally posted by tornado View PostComment

hard to debate since it's a subjective thing - when making a call on a "prospect" but it's also interesting to look back at accuracy...
2008 wasn't much different - with a lot of the top 20 fizzling out big time (Dunigan, Humphrey, Simpson, Thompson, Hare, etc...
while a few of those ranked outside the best 6-8 had fine college careers - Shurna, Roth, Johnny Moran, Verdell Jones, Carl Richard
The ranking in 2007 was actually VERY accurate
the 2010 rankings missed on Walt Lemon & Ben Brust and maybe had Jordan Threloff or Jereme Richmond a little too high
