Scout.com team basketball recruiting rankings are based on the Quality, Quantity and Potential of players committed to that school. We consider only players who have made a Verbal commitment to that school. We include high school, prep school, junior college, and transfer players in our overall rankings.
Quality: Maryland in 2002 was the first team in a long time to win the title without a McDonald's All-American on the roster. Translation: to win big you need the horses. Get one of our Top 25 players and we'll hand out the props.
Quantity: It's definitely a factor but to score big points, Scout.com would like to see quality mixed in with the quantity. We'll take a smaller recruiting class with top talent over a larger, lesser talented class any day.
Potential: One thing to consider when evaluating players is projecting room to grow. For instance, ask yourself a basic question: has player A peaked and maxed out his talent? Or is he a good player now who is on the upswing of his career? We evaluate a player's ability to max out his potential. What is his capacity for learning, growing within a college environment? What's his work ethic and overall drive?
Final Rankings: Though all recruits from the school's recruiting class are listed, some recruits will not matriculate. The final team rankings take into account this attrition of players.
