[BigMan15]

 Is this your list? There's a few guys that should be on here that aren't.

[itsslim]

no not my list, found it on Twitter

[BigMan15]

Who tweeted it?

[Ctucker]

Reeves is way to far down that list.

[Coachbanks12]

Is there a list of girls also?

[P.F.G.]

Tevin Brewer is impressive.

[BigMan15]

Add
Allie Freeman
Matt Stanley
Brandon Fenner
JR forward from Jonesboro Salilya something (sorry for nursing his name)
Marquis Eaton
DJ Johnson

[itsslim]

guy named Byron Jenkins tweeted it. The guy from Jonesboro is Salisu Yahaya, very highly rated with a few offers. Didnt get to see him play this past Saturday vs. Pine Bluff, so I cant comment on his game at the moment.

[Silky Johnson]

He can't legally play yet, don't think he was supposed to last year either. He's just big but he doesn't have much of a game. He'll get a scholarship based of of potential and they'll see if they can teach some things.

[itsslim]

Lol thats what I was told, he was just big, only two years of basketball, but colleges are looking at the upside.  Yea people can argue for days about who are the top players left off a list.  Even ESPN top players is a group of opinions.  Players will get snubbed every season.  Usually I would say the top 15-20 would be most accurate, after that, well you know how it goes.  I honestly think southern Arkansas has been snubbed from this list.  Clarendon has some great players for sure, as well as the big kid from Camden Fairview, McCoy.

[WPWells]

Without a doubt the Fenner kid deserves a spot on this list

No problemlast year as a foreign student, you sit out one year and can play the next,  but you are limited to one year, I believe. Unfortunately for him, his adoption is being held up by his home country.

Also, his offers came from AAU ball in the summer

[Coachbanks12]

That girl list can't be updated it's a lot of girls left out. This whole list is Little rock and Fayetteville/Springdale based teams. This is really biase

[Silky Johnson]

Sometimes the lists are biased and sometimes they're accurate. I don't know about top 50 but considering the 6a-7a are more than likely the best teams year in and year out in girls hoops it might not be a stretch to have them dominate the list.

[always88]

Lot of hype on the girls list.

[itsslim]

yea but it's a lot if NWA athletes on both rosters as well as Little Rock

[itsslim]

Exavian Christon is the truth. this kid has to be moved up on this list

Obviously they haven't seen him play!!
192 pts in 4 games, best clutch shooter in Arkansas IMO , Monk is the Best Player be 1 and done

[MA]

Reaves followed up his record setting week last week with back to back triple doubles this week.

[rammer]

http://arkansasbasketballrankings.com/co2016/

This appears to be updated. My only argument would be that Austin Reaves should be up in the top 12. He would even be in my top 5. I appreciate the work put in to making the list though. This was  for class of 2016 only.

[admorris24]

I watched Scoggins from Benton against PV Friday night and was unimpressed.  Of course PV has a way of doing that to a lot of guys.  Anderson from Benton should be on this list somewhere/ Smart, quick, athletic guard that runs the show for Benton

[itsslim]

How did Parkview look?

[admorris24]

PV controlled the game for the most part.  Benton got within 2 in the 3rd after hitting multiple 3's from Maertans, Riddick, and Anderson.  Game played in the 6-8 pt range rest of way.  I think PV led by 13 at half, but Benton went to what looked like a 1-3-1 zone trap and got back in the game.  Typical PV tall, athletic, and quick and of course extremely well coached

[itsslim]

ok thanks

I agree wit u, eagle. Reaves and Javon Franklin from Parkview are rated too low...ECS's Robinson is rated too high...

[Eagle20]

He doesn't seem to want to mix it up.  I think he would rather float around the perimeter.  Pretty good shooter for his size though! 

[whosyourdaddy]

List lost all credibility with me with Gafford at 10, Reeves at 26, Glasper at 33 and Brandon Clifford from Paragould not on list at all. 

[BigMan15]

Brandon Fenner not on the websites class of 2017 you got to be kidding me. Do you guys just rank your friends kids or what.

[RTF]

Your not biased at all lol....

the list doesn't look bad to me, some got left out but you can only pick so many kids and of course you will always offend someone for leaving off their baby or friend.....

[BigMan15]

How many times have you watched  these guys play

[coachscoggins]

List looks ok. Argument can always be made for some of these guys as to where they belong in the order. I would like to see Trey Lenox from Hot Springs on here. He is the leader of that very good Trojan team.
