A couple things I find odd....

Xavier Keeling was a 3-Star recruit out of high school who got a scholarship to Indiana, but left there when Mike Davis was fired. Now he is ranked behind 175 other juco players!

Xavier Crawford was also a 3-Star out of HS and is now also ranked behind nearly 200 other jucoplayers, including even some from obscure junior colleges, and who are only getting D-II offers.

Devan Bawinkel, one of the top players nationally in 2006 is now ranked 75 among juco players.

Leon Powell isn't even on the list

Isn't Leon a Class of 2009 JUCO? I believe he graduated from Vashon last spring.

You're right, my error, Powell is 2009.

By the way, BU recruit Chris Roberts is PRESENTLY #42....
That may not sound too impressive, but then we know Roberts is a bit under the radar and few recruiting services even knew of his existence, until Coach Alvin Brooks got on his trail and he verballed to BU.
Given virtually no mention anywhere on in cyberspace a couple months ago, the fact that he's zoomed all the way to #42 is impressive.
Here is last year's list and you'll note that Coloe-Scott, Theron Wilson, and Rashad Austin were all outside the Top 50 (2007)
David Collins was #26

In a different contributor's Top 125 in 2007, Theron Wilson was #70, David Collins #76, but Cole-Scott and Rashad Austin were not in the Top 125.

In 2006, their final rankings (April of 2006) totally missed on a lot of their picks.
Many of even the Top 10-20 were busts, and even though they were all quite successful in the NJCAA Tournament, Boo Richardson, Anthony Slack, Dom Johnson, and Matt Salley were not given much note or left off the list altogether.
