Daniel Hamilton ends up #14 overall with 5 stars.

Rakim Lubin stays at 3 stars.

Sam Cassell Jr. stays at 3 stars.

Bossi on the rankings of our 3 guys:

I'm going to leave the call on Cassell to our jucojunction guy Brett Swanson. He does all the juco rankings and I'm not sure when he is releasing his final rankings. I personally like Cassell as a high end 3-star. He looks about how I expected he would when we ranked him low end Rivals150 out of high school.

I don't know what others don't see in Hamilton. He is a monster talent to me.

Watched a pair of game films on Lubin. Tough kid, good athlete. Think he is more of a role player than a contributor on a defending national champ. Will look forward to seeing him in college and never have a problem with kids outplaying projections!​

Who are the "others" who are down on Hamilton?

Only one I've seen is the guy who has an axe to grind for some reason with UConn and he admits its based on ONE time he saw him (Goodman).

I'm guessing the ESPN analysts who dropped him from 5 star top 20 to 4 star top 30. Also, the McD's AA snub.

The kid had an incredible senior year and Rivals was the only site to recognize it with a jump in the rankings.

Cassell was far and away (and that is putting it mildly) the best player at the Florida State JUCO tourney. Not a great athlete, but highly skilled. Is there a JUCO rankings list anywhere? Would be interested to see it.

247 had their final rankings as well. D Ham a five star at 18. I don't believe Lubin was in the top 247.

I don't believe Lubin was in the top 247.

Nope, but they do have him as the 7th best prospect in Alabama. Not half bad for a kid who played in Georgia this year!

Try to keep up, 247.
