Scout, ESPN, and Rivals Class of 2011 Rankings

[mplscyclone]

The Rivals lists are not up to date at all..and who cares about who's list Iowa is on?
Illinois, 2011: Jacob Williams, Dre Henley, Sam Thompson, Chasson Randle
2012-Keith Carter, Treyshawn Carroll, etc. But yeah, we're not making any inroads in Illinios recruiting.

Jacob Williams - looks to have a build of DG
Dre Henley - comes across to be a project
Sam Thompson - I know he's good but I can't find anywhere that says he's interested in ISU
Randle - I acknowledged in my above post.

Keith Carter - I don't know much about. If he's 5'10, I hope he's quick
Carroll - I have heard of him, but I couldn't find anywhere that he's interested in ISU

To me, if the list says it's updated on 7/1/2009, I figure it's updated. How am I supposed to know any better? I was basing my conclusions on the info that I could see.

I also know that each Big 12 schools signs 2-3 top 100 guys. Anything less than that from ISU, and we're going to continue to fall more behind the other programs.

Dre Henley a project? He's currently ranked #2 in his class by the bullseye brothers (Best talent evaluators in Ill.) He doesn't have a weakness in a game, besides the fact that he doesn't have great athleticism.
Yes, Williams is skinny, but Mike Mullins has said that he's a "Young Evan Turner" and "Just as good at the same stage as Evan".
Carter is 6', ranked 1st in the state of Illinos in his class. Carroll is good, but just becasue an article doesn't mention him doesn't mean he isn't interested. We were recruiting Chris for months before he even mentioned us in an interview.

If Henley is that good, why isn't he in the top 100 then? I'm not saying Rivals is gospel, but if he's really as good as you say, wouldn't he at least be on the list in some fashion?

B/c he plays for the 16-U Mac Irvin Fire, not the 17's, plus he doesn't play all their games. He also tends to get over-shadowed because he actually passes the ball, something quite rare for the Fire.

IMO, not very flashy either...just gets the job done type of player.

Yep...you hardly realize he's there, then you look at the box-score and he's got 20,10, and 5.
