Odd for Citron not to be ranked.

 

[WewatchBall]

Exactly but hey she got ranked high off making USA by Espn! Making USA shouldn’t determine that IMO

Seriously? HoopGurlz had Citron ranked #20 before she made the USA team, and she went to #17 after making it. Sonia is a terrific player, a top-20 player IMO whether or not she made the USA team.

Verhulst and Citron both play on independent AAU teams, so they aren't at the big Nike, UAA, or Gauntlet events. It was clear those two were well ahead of Saylor to me at U16. All three are great players and have great futures ahead of them.

I agree all three are great players... however out of the 3 only 2 are consensus Top 25 kids tho. ESPN and Prospect Nation ... Citron doesn’t appear on Prospect Nation! When all ranking sources agree it’s more of a correlation of where a kid probably is possibly ‍♂️

 

[WewatchBall]

Also Citron had a great campaign .... I totally agree but again that’s not a prerequisite to be better than someone. Body of work over time determines that not 1 stretch of good basketball. The best players in USA don’t always make USA basketball it’s been proven.

 

[WewatchBall]

Btw I love Citron definitely a P5 kid all day!!!

She is not in their system, which means they may never have seen her play. They are sometimes behind with adding some players, especially someone like Citron who plays for an independent.

 

[WewatchBall]

Verhulst plays independent top 25 regardless! Again there no debate there. Citron is good just not unanimous top 25 player ‍♂️

FWIW, ProspectNation also ranks players high based off the trials, so it isn’t like ESPN is the only service taking it into account.

“The highest newcomer to the group is Saylor Poffenbarger of Middletown, Maryland. The 6-foot-1 guard tore up the USA Basketball National team trials with her smart play and shot making. She capped off her summer by committing to Connecticut.”

 

[DaBball]

Short little podcast talks about Poffenbarger, Wolfenbarger, Verhulst, von Oelhoffen, and their summers. 2022 PN rankings will be out within the next week or so.

 

[WewatchBall]

All good players I still don’t believe trials should determine your rank... full body of work HS, AAU, performances as well! Along with ability skill and size for position coupled with upside.

That sounds like a plausible list of the Prussian division commanders under von Blucher in 1815, who had the decisive role in defeating Napoleon at Waterloo.
