HOOPS
USA - TOP TRADITIONAL AND NATIONAL TEAMS

Note:  The main purpose of these ratings is to recognize as many school as possible.  The purpose of these ratings is to recognize as many teams as possible and to separate Traditional Schools from other schools who are not members of their State Associations.  Information and won-loss records for teams in the "National" Rating are not always readily avaibale so I would appreciate any help in getting that poll as correct as possible.  Recognizing and listing teams is more important to me than how high a team is rated.  However, if anyone feels that a team has not been rated high enough or has been left out, please let me know.  I encourage any help in getting up-to-date information on these teams and the addition of other schools that should be included.  I am assuming that none of the listed schools in the "National" category have fifth year players.  If there are any fifth year schools listed I would appreciate notification so that they can be moved to the Prep School Division.

*** State Champions   ** State Runner-Up   City Champion
**** Tournament Of Champions Winner
 


The CONSENSUS RATING (see below HoopsUSA Ratings) is a combination of the four major polls.  No HOOPSUSA information is included in that rating.  SPECIAL NOTE:  I am still updating my ratings (Traditional and National) and teams may not appear in final order.  As I have mentioned many times previously, no one really knows who the top teams are and if coaches, fans or members of the media feel I have left any team out, I invite opinions and suggestions that can help improve the ratings.

The HoopsUSA Consensus Rating is designed to give as many schools as possible the promotion and publicity they deserve.  Although HoopsUSA does not agree with ranking traditional schools with non sanctioned (states) school, the Top Teams in this rating gives a better true ranking of the top four National Polls because it involves all the top pollsters rankings joined together in one place.  The Traditional High School Poll and "National" Polls  (Shown Above) are divided separately.  The "National" Poll is not intended to include schools that have Post Graduate-fifth year players.  The Consensus Rating shows all the ratings each team receives in the four National Polls.  The poll shows the highest rating each team receives (H over R).  Rating teams is of course not an exact science or perfect in any way. I'm certain that all the other pollsters would echo those sentiments. Realistically, no one really knows who the best teams are among the thousands of schools in this great country of ours.  It's no more than just an educated guess and just like the college polls, it's a fun thing that can generate excitement among teams and fans.  With that said, I'm certain that some deserving schools, who possibly should be listed, have been left out. Who are they?  When you live in a certain state and follow high school basketball closely, you may know better than the pollsters which teams are the best and most talented in your area.  The opinion of fans, coaches, media and others is very important to me and I'm sure to all those who rank teams. To possibly have a school listed, I need the school, city, state and won-loss record. Records for many of the teams listed in the National Poll are not always easy to obtain.  If coaches and fans don't take advantage of the opportunity to have deserving schools included, then they have no right to complain if they're not shown.  The headings for the polls are as follows:  HR-Highest Ranking ReceivedPREP over POLL-Prep PollUSA over T'DY-USA Today Poll,  ESPN over .COM-Espn.com and MAX over P'RP-MaxPreps.com.  I would appreciate any comments and suggestions as to how we can improve any area.  My email addresses are HoopsUSA@sc.rr.comand EddieOliver@HoopsUSA.com   NOTE:  This poll will be updated throughout the week until all Top 25 and Regional Listings have come in from all of the polls.
