New Basketball Rankings

Scout updated their 2008 basketball recruit rankings today and I believe Rivals did as well some time ago. Some of our guys have been moving up:

-Scotty Hopson: Hopson has exploded over the summer and the rankings reflect that with both sites now rating him as a 5 star. Rivals has reclassified him as a SG and rated him as the #2 SG in the class. Also they moved him up to the #9 player overall. Scout now ranks him as the #3 SF and the 11th rated player overall. Rumors continue to swirl about how firm he is in his commitment, but at this point the only real threat would be Kentucky. Kentucky fans are confident he will end up with them in the end but that is mainly because they are too arrogant to believe it is possible for a recruit to prefer lowly little Mississippi State to the wonder and splendor which is UK basketball. When asked Hopson has maintained that he is just as firm as ever in his commitment.

-Romero Osby: Osby is pretty much in a holding pattern at the moment. Rivals has him as a 4 star, the #17 ranked PF and the #52 player overall. Scout also gives him 4 stars, ranking him as the #13 PF and #50 overall.

-Dee Bost: According to Rivals, the #28 point guard #130 overall. Scout has come out with a 2008 post graduate rankings, which I had never heard of before. Here he is the #6 ranked post graduate player.
