the only thing that gave UNC the edge is their 6th man. If osu took a quality 6th, they would have been #1.

Thats a good point, but I have to believe when both classes are that close and you sign Oden, that should push you to the top. I mean he is by far the best player in the class.

I guess everyone just loves ACC basketball.

Based on those numbers (rankings, # of recruits), I can see why NC is number 1. However, it will be interesting to see if North Carolina's new recruits will play with any sort of chemistry once they hit the court.

I'd never trade our 5 for their 6. Ever.

You bet. I think its funny what some UNC guys are saying right now about how big men are overrated in college hoops. I think they are forgetting that the reason they won the NC last year is soley because Illinois couldn't handle their big man down low.

I would like to see tOSU and North Carolina match up in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge next year. Then, we would be able to see who has the better recruiting class. NC fans might change their minds on how important it is to have a good post player.

3 of the 5 Buckeye signees have played together for years and have led their AAU team to national dominance over the past 2 years. What other team signed 60% of a dominating team? This Buckeye class as a whole is much greater than the sum of its parts.

North Carolina wins another title


With 93 of the nation's top 100 seniors and 180 of the top 200 committed to college basketball programs before the November signing date, it doesn't take a computer to determine that defending NCAA champion North Carolina and Ohio State have harvested the top classes for 2006.

According to recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons of Lenoir, N.C., who has been evaluating high school talent for more than 30 years, this is an above-average senior class that is headed by Ohio State-bound Greg Oden of Indianapolis, whom Gibbons rates as the best big man to come out of the high school ranks since Lew Alcindor, a k a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

"There are two benchmarks in evaluating a class -- the number of quality big men and the number of true point guards,'' Gibbons said. "This class has an ample number of both. Oden is in a class by himself, bigger and better and more dominating than Moses Malone.''

Gibbons also is impressed by the number of true point guards, including North Carolina-bound Tywon Lawson, Kansas-bound Sherron Collins of Crane, DePaul-bound Will Walker of Bolingbrook and California-bound James Randle of Hales Franciscan.

"True point guards are the most difficult players to find and the most highly sought,'' Gibbons said. "Every college program is looking for a floor leader who is team-oriented. In today's fast-paced game, those kind of unselfish players are hard to find, even harder to evaluate.''

Gibbons agrees with Van Coleman of Hoopmasters.com in giving North Carolina an edge over Ohio State, despite Oden's presence.

In Gibbons' view, coach Roy Williams landed the nation's best point guard (Lawson), the best shooting guard (Wayne Ellington) and the best power forward (Brandan Wright). The Tar Heels added three other top-100 players: 6-9 Deon Thompson (36), 6-8 Alex Stepheson (39) and 6-6 William Graves (67).

Ohio State is second "by a coin toss,'' Gibbons said. The Buckeyes have Oden and his high school teammate, point guard Mike Conley Jr., whose father, Mike Sr., starred in the triple jump at Luther South from 1979 to '81 and later won gold (1992) and silver (1984) medals in the Olympics. They got two other top-35 players in 6-5 Daequan Cook (20) and 6-5 David Lighty (34).

But only three Big Ten schools are listed among the top 30 in the nation. Is that a harbinger of things to come? Why is the Big Ten having trouble recruiting blue-chip prospects?

Gibbons insists the debate is much ado about nothing, that history is on the Big Ten's side. The league had two teams in the Final Four and three teams in the final eight last season.

"The Big Ten just needs to recruit better players,'' he said. "There has been a talent drought in the Midwest in general, in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan in particular. The region hasn't been as fertile as it was in the early 1990s. But the future looks bright.''

Gibbons cites his national rankings over the last five years. Last year, five Big Ten programs ranked among the nation's top 40 recruiting classes. In 2004, Indiana and Michigan State rated in the top 10. In 2003, only Michigan State. In 2002, Illinois' class of Dee Brown, James Augustine and Deron Williams ranked No. 7 in the nation. In 2001, three Big Ten teams ranked among the top 12.

"When the Big Ten is good, the talent in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Indiana is good, too,'' Coleman said. "Now the Big Ten finally is realizing that it must go out and recruit nationally, into areas where the ACC, Big 12 and SEC are getting blue-chippers. When you don't have great athletes in your backyard, you must go out and find them. They haven't found them in the Midwest in the last few years.

"Illinois is on the rebound. To succeed, they must get their share of the best kids in the state. But recruiting runs in cycles. Memphis, New York and Southern California have experienced the same up-and-down as Illinois.

When your area is down, you struggle unless you are able to recruit nationally.''
