I'll bet Jennings being #1 put a smile on Yakka's face! McDonald has really dropped. But, as I've said before, I don't put any credence into these rankings. After the first 15 or 20 it becomes a crap shoot.

[time2howl]

No doubt Yakka's grinning ear to ear. These rankings are mildly interesting but a lot of the player's production depends on how he is used, where he is used, and how he is coached and mentored. Looking back over the years, a lot of "superstars" never did shine and some of the brightest performances came out of lower rated players or "unknowns".

[Eloy]

that both Jeff Taylor and Reggie Jackson are both ranked so much higher the Phil McDonald.

Rankings mean really nothing. McDonald is a big-time talent. He's never disappointed me in the times i've seen him play this summer. I smiled a little....BJ is the icing on the cake....but just love that Negedu kid:) Whitey is going to be a stud...and lavender is very athletic. UCLA is getting some payback this year...the addition of Kevin O'Neil is huge for UOFA...one of the best recruiting and defensive assistants around.

[LoboMike]

That's pretty far-fetched, IMO.

[LoBo LoCo]

Just for conversation's sake...what's happened to the likes of Tchiengang and Anthony Jones??? Where does it look like they are headed?

No telling with Anthony Jones. Tchiengang maybe Notre Dame, or Vandy. Tciengang is really high on academics.

[Garishwolf]

It's great McDonals is dropping off radar, come on guys GET HERE!!! Please
