CATCHING UP - NY2LA AND MAYB TOURNAMENTS 8/24/2020

 There were a couple of surprise tournament winners in Missouri this weekend when St. Louis Cobras A.N.M. Elite upset the St. Louis Blazers in the Missouri Summer Hoopfest and Bullets upset Illinois Bears Walker down at the Premier Hoops presents Cape Girardeau tournament.  As the Blazers have had a very consistent season, I did not rate them down but the Cobras did come up quite a bit but did not surpass the Blazers, based on all tournament performances.  The Bullets did pull ahead of Walker in the ratings.

I caught up on a massive 2021 MAYB Wichita, KS Boy's Nationals in late July and the big winner there was the Drive5 Elite 2022 team which ran up the score on some very good 2021 teams.  They were 9-10th grade MAYB National champions last year and even better this year.  Watch out for them next year.  

The NY2LA session three came off without a hitch and I was surprised to see TH 2021 Blue blow away all of their opponents, including a very good MAC Attack from Wisconsin.  I have picked up TH 2021 ratings most of the summer (136) but TH 2021 had the Blue (138) and a Black team (126) in the tournament and both were very good.  The tournament field averaged a 111 rating, the second best field I have observed all season.  Quite a good tournament.  

Update:  According to NY2LA, TH Blue and Black were the same team - initially we were going to split but the team didn’t want to separate so all 8 games were played by the Phenom U-TH 2021 team

I will put out a national rankings after pouring over the Aug 8-9th HG Summer Jam Fest in Manheim, PA where some very recognizable national teams like  Bo Williams and Team Thrill, have finally shown up in tournament results.  There was also a big NW states tournament with California teams, a first this summer with the lockdown in California.

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...
