Nice to see Nick rated so highly coming in at 34 and Iman at 23 with Frank the Tank at 65, those three would be one hell of a class.

quite a rise for Williams.......Goulbourne is listed at #96 too

While this is a "rise" for Nick it is also where he was initially slotted before he gave a verbal to Marquette.  So I think some people may have stopped watching him as closely since he had already given a committment.  My guess is the rankings services are just not catching back up with him.

Interestingly, they have the leader for Iman as Georgia Tech, followed by Marquette and then North Carolina.

Iman:

"Scouts Grade: 91
Position Rank: SG #8
Considering: 1-Georgia Tech , 2-Marquette , 3-North Carolina

Evaluation: He's a strong all around guard who can shoot and handle the ball. A long athlete who struggled in a camp setting (2007 NBPA Top 100) but has a beautiful stroke and finally got it going. A good passer with a great feel for the game.

Notes: Also has offers from Clemson, Georgia Tech, Minnesota, Northwestern, Western Kentucky, North Carolina and Wisconsin..."


Nick:

"Scouts Grade: 90
Position Rank: SG #11
Considered: 1-Marquette

Evaluation: Williams' strength is in his transition game as he really gets up and down the floor. He has a nice, athletic body. His mid-range shot is good but could be better. Right now he is not really sure of the difference between good and bad shots. He is used to being the number one option so how he reacts in a secondary role will be interesting to see.

Notes: No notes available at this time."

Frank Ben-Eze #65:
"Scouts Grade: 88
Position Rank: PF #14
Considering: 1-Maryland , 2-Connecticut , 3-Villanova , 4-Kansas , 5-Marquette

Evaluation: This emerging 2008 big man moves well, plays hard and is unselfish. I love his attitude as he continually tries to get better. He needs to add strength to his extremely long 6'10'' frame. While his outside shot is solid his post game needs some work, although he is very aggressive around the hoop. Frank is well coached and fundamentally sound.

Notes: No notes available at this time."


Lance #96:

"Scouts Grade: 84
Position Rank: SF #16
Considering: 1-Stony Brook , 2-St. Francis (NY)

Evaluation: Lance turned a lot of heads with his ability to shoot it behind the line and score in a variety of ways. He can take one or two dribbles and hit the pull-up with ease along with getting to the basket and finishing in traffic. He has a long, athletic body with good skills and a great stroke; he never tries to do to much or what he is not comfortable with. He lets the flow of the game come to him and could be a terrific defender because of his length and desire. His ballhandling in the backcourt and dribble moves to the basket are what he needs to work on

Notes: No notes available at this time."


Renaldo Woolridge #102:

Scouts Grade: 83
Position Rank: PF #23
Considering: 1-Georgetown , 2-USC , 3-Tennessee , 4-Illinois , 5-Marquette

Evaluation: Renaldo is the son of former Chicago Bulls standout, Orlando Woolridge. Although physically he is far from his father's chiseled physique, he is still growing and could possibly end up 6-9. Overall, his skills are quite raw (though improving), and at this point of his career we're not sure if he's going to be a three or a four at the next level. He can handle the ball decently except when pressured. In addition, his jump shot is quite flat, however, he makes enough of them where you have to respect it. He gets most of his points either launching jump shots (he takes a lot of them) or driving to the basket - he possesses a pretty solid first step. Defensively, he's a bit of a tweener because he isn't physical enough to guard a "four" (yet) or quick enough (laterally speaking) to defend a wing. Overall, Woolridge needs to improve his feel for the game - especially shot selection - and become more physical on the inside (not near the rebounder and post player he should be).

2007 Pangos All-American Camp

Woolridge improved as the weekend went on, however, his shot selection was suspect throughout.

Notes: No notes available at this time."

Just a hunch here but my guess is those listings are in "no particular order" and even then Goulbourne's show no interest except in Stony Brook and St. Francis for a top 100 kid?  Let's take that with a grain of salt.

Hmmm - Shouldn't Harvard be on that list??

Although its nice to see these guys ranked, ESPN's recruiting service might even be worse than Hoopscoop.
