NIKE WHO'S WHO OF HIGH SCHOOL
BOYS BASKETBALL
UPDATED JANUARY 31, 2012
The CONSENSUS RATING is a combination of the eight major polls.
The HoopsUSA Consensus Rating is designed to give as many schools as possible the promotion and publicity they deserve. Although HoopsUSA does not necessarily agree with ranking traditional schools with non sanctioned (states) schools, I have also created a poll such as the others for HoopsUSA (A combination of the HoopsUSA Traditional and National Ratings) to include in this ranking. I guess my theory has become, if you can fight them off join them while keeping my own values in place with my other rankings. The Traditional High School Poll and "National" Polls (Shown Below) are divided separately. The Top Teams in this rating gives a better true ranking of the top National Polls because it involves all the top pollsters rankings joined together in one place. The Consensus Rating shows all the ratings each team receives in the eight 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. In a poll where an excellent team has been basically left out like Montrose Christian (#60?) in the Max Preps Poll, a provision has been made to have that team listed by getting the average ranking of the other polls. If people don't voice their opinion about a team, they have no right to complain if they're not shown. I don't like the fact that a poll such as SI.Com and others rank Prep Schools. Prep Schools that have 5th year Postgrad players are not included in the Conensus Ranking so votes for those teams are basically wasted as far as the Conensus Poll is concerned. A separate poll has been created for the PREP Schools. The headings for the polls are as follows: HR-Highest Ranking Received, PREP over POLL-Prep Poll, USA over T'DY-USA Today Poll, ESPN over .COM-Espn.com and MAX over P'RP-MaxPreps.com. Three new polls are going to be added as soon as the webmaster has the time. They are HOOP over NIKS-Hoopniks, SI.COM-Five Star Basketball - Sports Ilustrated/CNN and H'PS over USA-HoopsUSA (Combined Traditioal and National Teams). I would appreciate any comments and suggestions as to how we can improve in any area. My email address is HoopsUSA@sc.rr.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. |

HOOPSUSA VERSION TERRIFIC TOP TEAMS
HOOPSUSA - 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.
