Last weekend's Iverson Classic marked the final evaluation of the 2021 class for Rob Cassidy and our hoops gurus.
So this week, we are rolling out the final 2021 rankings, starting with a countdown of the top 10 prospects today. On Thursday, we will release the full Rivals150 and Friday we will unveil the final position rankings before putting the 2021 class in the rear-view mirror.
Check back throughout the day to see who else made our top 10.

The raw numbers don't necessarily tell the whole story though. You really have to look at who is leaving, who recruited the guys who are leaving, and who is coming in to replace them. Like aTm and LSU are also both losing 9 guys but who they are bringing in is waaaaay more impressive than what UGA and South Carolina have coming in. Really not even close.

So, based on this article, I guess they are assuming that Primo will stay in this year's draft? If not, he would have been included in the Alabama players drafted. Not sure they would have Shack as being drafted in the draft in either season.
quote:
The Iverson Classic brought 28 of the best players in high school basketball together in Memphis, Tennessee, for three days of intense practices, scrimmaging and other live competition. The NBA allowed each team to send one representative to evaluate the two days of practices, with no restrictions on the number of evaluators allowed for the actual game. This provided an opportunity for teams to start building out their scouting files on a class that has been almost invisible to them due to mass cancellations of camps, tournaments and other exposure events over the past 14 months because of the coronavirus pandemic.
With the normal all-star circuit -- the McDonald's All-American game, Nike Hoop Summit and Jordan Brand Classic -- all on hiatus, the Iverson Classic filled the void, reeling in a huge swath of talent, including 12 of the 22 players currently classified as five-star prospects in ESPN's recruiting rankings. Several other prospects outside that range made compelling cases over the week for why they are deserving of one-and-done consideration.
While we've scouted many of these prospects live over the high school season, it was very useful to see this group through the eyes of the 30 or so NBA scouts who were evaluating these players for the very first time and getting their raw initial impressions of the class, which were largely extremely positive.
Note: While the 2022 NBA draft is too far away to reasonably predict the order, we're using ESPN's Future Power Rankings to help show which traded picks might convey in 2022.
(can't post the full mock bc it would be a formatting nightmare)
13. JD Davison
41. Jahvon Quinerly
58. Keon Ellis
Big stock boosters
The clear-cut leaders and best guards on their respective teams, Nolan Hickman and J.D. Davison both made their case as being two of the best floor generals in the class and strong one-and-done candidates.
Davison was one of the revelations of the week. Few knew what to make of the internet sensation and highlight reel machine who played his basketball in the second lowest of the Alabama high school conferences, where his team finished 16-9 and lost in the playoff semifinals.
Davison quickly showed that he's much more than a YouTube sensation, proving to be one of the top all-around basketball players at the event. Featuring good size, a huge frame and an explosive first step, he was very difficult for opposing guards to contain when he went to the lane in transition or created out of isolation, finishing aggressively through contact.
Davison is also a willing passer who shows nice vision out of pick-and-rolls, being capable of rejecting screens powerfully and finding teammates on the move. Still, learning to value the ball and cut down on turnovers will also be a priority moving forward, as Davison did have some wild moments.
Where Davison impressed the most was on the defensive end, using his outstanding physical tools to get up on opposing guards, block shots on the perimeter and crash the glass. He plays with impressive toughness and intensity, looking more than happy to do the little things to help his team win games.
Davison's swing skill is his jump shot, once known as a significant weakness but clearly an area in which he's made strides. He struggled to make shots in games, at times passing up open looks, but has projectable mechanics and soft enough touch as a finisher to indicate there's plenty of room to grow long term. Davison looks like he'll be a great fit at Alabama, which sports one of the most wide open and efficient offenses in the country.

Yeah, I wasn't completely sure about that either. I think I agree with you though and they are assuming Primo is drafted this year and Shack goes undrafted in either year.

Washington, who is ranked as ESPN's No. 12 overall prospect for the 2021 class, will choose between Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky and LSU.
Looks like Kentucky is the favorite and would catapult ahead of us in the recruiting rankings.

our recruiting average is 4th overall. i give far more merit to that measurement than not being ranked higher for simply not adding an extra 3 star or two. for example id take our class over what kansas got anyday. plus yea, would be nice if transfers would factor in as well.

247 Composite recruiting rankings update:
These recruiting rankings are bogus if they do not include transfers. That portal is becomming the primary recruiting ground fast. Do Gurley and Burnett mean anything to our class? And we likely will have fewer transfers in or out than any other team in the SEC.

I saw too many knees blown out cutting on those carpet courts. I think they pulled it out and went hardwood my senior year.

Mississippi State's DJ Stewart will sign with an agent and remain in the 2021 NBA Draft, a source confirmed. Significant SEC news. Was an all-conference player.
Big loss.

The Crimson Tide should return four of the top seven scorers from a team that won the SEC regular-season title and SEC Tournament - most notably Jaden Shackelford and Jahvon Quinerly. The addition of five-star point guard JD Davison and four-star big Charles Bediako gives Nate Oats a chance at back-to-back conference championships.

I guess why not ask now, what are all of y’alls personal expectations for next year?? Mine are slowly raising by the day it feels like but the alabama basketball letdown PTSD still exists for me a little bit, even though I couldn’t be any more on board with Oats than I already am and he doesn’t mess around with BS from players.
