Recruiting Resources: HoopScoopOnline.com

A great resource for recruiting news, rankings and analysis is Hoop Scoop. The free content is great, but if you want your daily fix, you need to get a membership. Along with the website they have weekly two hour internet radio show (see previous blog post).

One of the great things HoopScoop does is separating 5th year players from the rest of the class. In the next few months - with the new NBA draft rules in effect - I am expecting to see a distinction as to whether a player qualifies for the NBA draft (if his class graduated one or more years ago). The 5th year player list is a good starting point. Incidentally the free section of HoopScoop features the best 10 players of 2006, 2006-5th year players, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Another free feature is the Top 10 recruiting classes of 2006 using HoopScoop's extensive rating system. While Ohio State is the sentimental choice for best class (because of Greg Oden), North Carolina has actually amassed the most talent. If you feel strongly about this, HoopScoop has a poll on this very topic: NC -vs- Ohion State 2006 recruiting class.
