Final 17U ratings RecruitLook Omaha Showcase and some other tournaments

 Wasn't the RecruitLook Omaha Showcase a thriller down to the last game?  I thought SW IL Jets Orange would give OSA Crusaders Adidas and great game and it came down to one point game under one minute.  Final free throws gave OSA a three point win (as I predicted) and the Jets went home the best 2-2 team in the tournament.  While OSA wasn't the only undefeated team,, the best team in the tournament actually had one loss.  Who was that you ask?  Well, Jimmer Elite was the best from a head-to-head competition, despite a two point loss to Young and Reckless.  Yep, the algorithm says they were the best and they played the toughest schedule.  And Jets Orange, with a 2-2 record was the third best team.  

I liked the Lincoln National Supreme I 2021 and 2022 teams who were both in the top five and showed why they have a top-rated program in Nebraska.  Marcus Denmon was having a great tournament until a last game one-point loss to Young and Reckless.  Do I hear an echo? Y&R was only 2-3 but the beat two of the best in the tournament.  Watch out for them.

I mentioned in the last blog that RL Omaha Showcase was the highest average team rating for any tournaments that I rated this summer at a whopping 112.2 for all teams.  That is one packed tournament!  Recruit Look is really coming into its own.

I gathered scores on several other tournaments tournaments including NY2LA and the HG Summer Jam Fest 17u in Manheim, PA.  The HG Summer Jam Fest was 108.8 rating and NY2LA was an average rating of 111.  I was excited to see some familiar top ranked programs including Team Thrill, BWSL and Philly Pride, all top 25 teams in my ratings last year.  Team Clutch was the cream of the crop at HG Summer Jam Fest.

In the NY2LA, TH 2021 from Wisconsin?, was by far the best team there.  Lot's of talent in all of these tournaments.


I will have a national ranking up sometime this week.


Hope you enjoyed the ratings.  Retweet if you like them.

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...
