6 Big XII teams in Scout's 2009 class rankings...

[WavetheWheat]

   1.   Kentucky
Cal put on his rally cap, twittered a bunch of recruits and landed on a goldmine in LexVegas

   2.   Villanova
Thought about it as the top class and itís a dousy; "Mouph" is best big to not make burger game

   3.   UNC
Heel of a class! Well rounded and centered around a major star in Henson; it's what Roy does!

   4.   Kansas
Second time was a charm. When "X" signed his LOI it was party time in Lawrence!

   5.   Georgia Tech
Daniel Miller added as late spring insurance package in case Derrick favors a shorter stay

   6.   Texas
Tough to fathom this class at No. 6 overall since its jacked up with three very good players

   7.   Oklahoma
Nothing "Tiny" about this class -- diverse and big; Tommy Mason-Griffin is best hyphenated recruit in 2009

   8.   UCLA
slow and steady wins the Pac-10 award this year; Howland methodically built this class over time

   9.   Duke
Two different style big men headed to Durham and both are talented. Can Duke get the third Plumlee?

   10.   Indiana
Indiana's future founded on this class. It's a unit that has diversity, scoring and leadership in Hulls

   11.   Connecticut
Huskies are always good for a quality spring signee; Orkiakhi and Co. forge a strong class
   
        12.   Arizona
Didn't take Sean Miller long to get working out west. Three Top 100 prospects in a month? Nice
   
        13.   NC State
Sidney Lowe's got replacements on the way. Lorenzo Brown is the straw and Painter is great late

   14.   Pittsburgh
The Panthers beefed up the frontcourt in a big way. Taylor gets the headlines, lookout for Zanna

   15.   Minnesota
Tubby needed two players from Minnesota and landed them both as its all smiles in the Twin Cities

   16.   Florida
The excitement is building for Boynton's debut and now Murphy could be asked to play more early

   17.   Marquette
It's a big class in terms of talent and quantity. Mix of high schoolers and jucos each with a chance to play

   18.   Mississippi State
The return of Renardo gives the Bulldogs life in the SEC and beyond next winter as excitement builds

   19.   Miami
Frank Haith's Canes are always getting good players. Sleeper national recruit Durand Scott can go

   20.   Louisville
Louisville has pretty much become a constant on this list and guess what? They win a lot of games

   21.   Clemson
Another fabulous Booker brother on the way but this time it's Milton Jennings set to capture the headlines

   22.   Illinois
This class was built years ago as Illinois focused on providing the in-staters with opportunity

   23.   Washington
Not sure anyone has grasped that Gaddy could actually be a 2010 kid, so he's got upside!

   24.   Florida State
Hamilton snared a Snaer from the West Coast and his scoring is going to be appreciated post-Douglas

   25.   Oregon State
A distinguished, dare we say presidential effort from the Beavers! Strength of class is sum of parts

   26.   West Virginia
More Huggins clones headed to Morgantown and you know what that means Ö more wins!

   27.   Oklahoma State
One of favorites Roger Franklin is finally graduating! If Karron Johnson can find his way, class is even better

   28.   Kansas State
Wally Judge, one of the more improved big men in the nation, leads a group with upside

   29.   USC
Obviously a tough blow when Sidney flew south but still has talent; Johnson, Jones can each score

   30.   Baylor
The Bears will one day need to replace wing firepower and Dennis and McLaughlin can help right away

those two dudes going to duke are good.  love that Coach K landed them.

Cheesiest descriptions ever.

agreed, it's like Jack Handy wrote them

4th.  Not bad.  And only one of those dudes is gonna start.  ku is gonna be way good next year.

2, imo.  robinson and henry.  the small guard is supposed to be very raw.  better to have a 2 that can shoot.  plenty of other guys on the floor that can make things happen.

jfc, w/all the other teams getting goofy descriptions......wally (JUDGE!!) throws em a softball and that's all we get?

Morris twins have served their purpose.  Likely will be kicked off the team by conference play, so Robinson is a lock at the 4.  The second guard spot is up for grabs, but I have to assume the Mornginstar era is over.  And with the two over rated Kansas kids usual mediocrity I think it'll be between Johnson and Taylor.

[Babytears]

ku doesn't kick people off any teams.  You pretty much have to shoot someone to get the boot... Wait a minute.

Not sure why all the hate towards the Morris twins.  They'll be two of the most improved players on the team next year.  Marcus Morris averaged pretty good numbers for a freshman, and both guys have been hitting the weight room hard this summer.  Just look at how much Aldrich improved from his freshman to sophomore year.  Also, how are Morningstar and Reed "overrated?"  They are barely rated to begin with.  That being said, both were more highly regarded coming out of high school than this garbage:

[fatty fat fat]

aldrich hasn't improved at all. he just didn't play his frosh year. I expect him to regress next year a bit.

Wouldn't be surprised if Spradling has a better college career than Morningstar and Reed.

I'm gonna agree with BMW and say that the Morris twins will have MORE of an impact next year, not downplaying Robinson at all. I think Robinson will come off the bench, but Morris will start before him. Both Morris' have been hitting the weights and training. The whole team has been. You are probably right about Morningstar and Reed. Unless they can hold off X, they both will be seeing less minutes. I see the starting lineup not changing much next year, because Self is a huge believer in the philosophy that you gotta earn your minutes, they aren't automatically given to you. That said, the lineup could change ALOT. Besides Aldrich and Collins, the whole roster can change. I said Cole's freshman year that that guy was legit and he has proven it. It all goes up hill from here. Team has SO much talent, I bet self will even have trouble figuring out who should start before who.

reed was actually well thought off. morningstar was not, that's why he prepped for a year. spradling somewhere in between the two.

also, not sure there's a lot of "hate" towards the morris goofballs. more lol's and wondering which one will be the first to leave and when.
