Who's coming back next year and what will the line-up

Is it true we have the #6 class this year, my boy told me but I find it hard to believe and who's a lock on this team as a considered stud?

24/7 has us at #8 currently

ESPN has us #6
http://insider.espn.go.com/college-...ting/classrankings/_/class/2014/date/20130812

Rivals and Scout havent published their 2014 rankings yet as far as I can find

As for why we are top 10 well we have two top 100 kids in Newton and Henriquez. Newton is a top 50 kid and one of the best 2014 PGs in the country

Take a look at our backcourt next year and try not to get a boner

PG Newton/Rodriguez/Manu
SG Burnett/McClellan
SF Reed/Henriquez/Palmer

Wow! And the rest of the ACC was thinking that last year's success was just a flash in the pan. No more cellar dwelling for us biatches!

To add some further context on the rankings.

247 just updated their individual player rankings this week. Newton had a strong summer and moved up to #26 - the other three sites have not updated their individual rankings, as far as I know (they also didn't have him as high as 247 did prior to the summer, so if he makes a corresponding jump, he'll more likely be in the 35-50 range).

247's ranking for Henriquez, in the 90s, is very similar to Rivals, and higher than Scout. For him, ESPN is the outlier as a top 50 player. I expect him to drop, maybe, as he did not participate in July recruiting events as heavily as other players.

Palmer is considered a 3-star by all of the sites (except Scout which hasn't rated him yet), but ESPN is most bullish on his potential - as a young senior, if he performs well and continues to develop, they expect him to be a contender for the top 100 in their final rankings.

Overall, I think that if Rivals had ranked the classes, we would be top 10 there as well, and Scout we would likely be 15-20. We'll see how things end up when players are reranked and as more kids commit.
