Grassroots tournament rankings - weekend of July 18-19th

It was a wild weekend of action with several Prep Hoops, RecruitLook and Hardwood Classic events.  I haven't gone through all the scores yet so I will be posting some more later along with another top 500 17U team ranking.

I watched games with interest, as coaches and sideline players were masked up (to some varying degree).  I hope and pray that none of these budding athletes or their coaches end up with Covid-19 in two or three weeks.  An outbreak in early August would surely blow the rest of the Grassroots schedule to smithereens.  Stay Safe and mask up.

Here's a quick update on how they all fared:
1. 2020 Sunflower Showcase - KC Run GMC played one game and it was a doozie, beating a top-notch SW Illinois Jets Orange team by 47, 92-45.  I am sure that Jets Orange would have played them a little closer with fresh legs but KC Run GMC is definitely a top 25 national team.  CarrollGoL1ve, Team GoL1ve and Marcus Denmon Elite were also very solid during the weekend play.
2. Prep Hoops Havoc in the Heartland -  St.. Louis based Gateway Basketball Club breezed through the competition until they met a quick and hot shooting Illinois Hoopstar National squad in the final, losing by 8, 58-66.  St. Louis Blazers also played well, also losing to Hoopstar National. Look for great things from GBC in the future.
3. Prep Hoops Midwest Showdown - There were five bracket winners but the real deal was
Playmakers Showcase 
17U (Deadrick)
, who blew through the competition by an average of 25 points, beating Minnesota Select Ohnstad by 44 in their final.  The only team that could stay close was their "B" team Playmakers Showcase (Shaw) who they beat by 8.  Wisconsin Playground UAA and Wisconsin Sharks also looked good.
4. Hardwood Classic - Session 1 - Team Teddy Buckets (OK) was nearly untouchable, going 4-0 and beating an outstanding YOBO team, 85-75 in their last game.  Martin Brothers, 810 Varsity Hoops, both Yander Law teams, Kansas Buddy Buckets and Mokan Select also performed well.
5. 13th Annual Battle for the Arch - This tournament was a battle of upsets with the Arkansas Irish coming out on top after losing big to the Tennessee Team Thunder early but beating them in a tight play-off game.

I will publish a rankings later this week after I get through the D1Summer Classis in Minnesota and the Prep Hoops A-Town Showdown in Atlanta.

Grassroots 17U boys ratings for week of 8/31/2020 -UPDATED 9/03

UPDATED 9/03 I DID A MORE COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF THE PANGOS TOURNAMENT AND UPDATE THE TOP 100 TEAMS.  That moves both Seattle Rotary teams in to the #2 and #4 spots.  The 17U Boys Grassroots ratings are starting to look more normal with the Seattle Rotary and California teams finally making a show in the Pangos Rocky Mountain Summit in St. George, Utah.  I am still missing a majority of East and West Coast tournaments due to Covid cancelations or my Google search ignorance.  Some major tournaments make it real hard to find actual team scores.  If you have meaningful tournament results, drop me a link and I will factor them in.  A significant problem with fewer tournaments is that the power ratings are less robust. Hopefully, some of the newer teams on the list will keep playing and I will get more data on them.  In the meantime, we shall see how these teams shake out with the next Grassroots session in Indianapolis. I think any of the top 20 teams could ...

 It was a weekend of ups and downs for some teams in the Prep Hoops Finale and Rumble up North.  In the Rumble up North, D1 Minnesota looked great as always, handling all teams with ease.  Team Speight was impressive also.  On the down side, Buddy Buckets OK had a rough game, uncharacteristically losing to an excellent Wisconsin Playground UAA squad by 17, but rolling over some other excellent teams.   I rate teams for the entire season, so despite the 17 point loss, I still rank TBB OK above Playground. In the Prep Hoops Finale in Kansas City, Mokan Select surprised with a top notch tournament but lost to an excellent CarrolGoL1ve team in the final.  Other top teams included Grind and Advance, which lost to Mokan by one, Chicago Demons, Colorado Hawks and DBR.  On the down side, local St. Louis-based Gateway and St. Louis Blazers did not put their best foot forward, losing several games that I would not have expected them to lose, based upon prio...

17U Boys Grassroots Basketball Rankings - week of August 24th

 Here's my updated "17U" Grassroots Boys basketball ratings.  I say "17U" because there are a few 16U teams that have played up and done very well.  Drive5 Elite 2022 is one that has stood out and is in the number two position this week. A few caveats with these ratings.: The Pandemic has wreaked havoc on Grassroots tournaments.  Much of the Northeast and West Coast tournaments have been canceled or delayed.    I keep looking for well-known and highly successful teams from years past and cannot find them.  I will continue to look and add teams for the next couple of weeks. Tournaments do not always list teams by the same name or coaches name.   I may have a team listed twice under two variations of the same name.  Good tourney directors add the state and coaches name.  If I have your team in the wrong state, please let me know. I just saw some top echelon teams that are not in the ratings in an I-95 Coalition tournament listing on B...
