Recruit Look Omaha Showcase - mid-tournament ratings

There are some outstanding teams at the RecruitLook Omaha Showcase, with Jimmer Elite, formerly the Utah Mountain Stars, OSA Crusaders, Marcus Denmon, SW Illinois Jets Orange and Lincoln Supreme National 1 teams that are leading the way.

Jimmer Elite has both size and shooters and pulled off an "upset" of highly talented SW IL Jets Orange in double OT.  The Jets are one of the best, if not the best program, in the St. Louis area and should give the excellent OSA Crusader Adidas a run for their money in the last game today.  Marcus Denmon has blown away their competition and Lincoln has given teams, including local Larry Hughes Basketball Academy, fits with their three point shooting.  Against LHBA, Lincoln shot 50% on 35 three point attempts.  You can't beat that unless you close out the shooter at the arc and LHBA didn't.  They clogged the middle and never adjusted. Too many open looks.  Pure Prep needs to look out for Lincoln's shooters this morning or it will be a long second half.

 The tournament is one of the best from a ratings standpoint with an average team rating of 111.  I have not seen any other tournaments at that level and some really good teams, like LHBA, are going home with a 500 record.  The Jets Orange might too, unless they can upset OSA Adidas.

Here's a couple of games that might be worth looking at on BallerTV:

OSA Adidas by 3 over Jets Orange (should be a nail biter)

Lincoln Nat'l Supreme by 17 over Pure Prep

Iowa Barnstormers Gold by 5 over a good Illini Magic

I will have new Grassroots 17U ratings out sometime this week. Check out last week's ratings at:

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...
