clearly the tops in CCS.. 5 or 6 years in a row meeting in the finals? Jeez. Are they atop your list for NorCal too?
Good call LBJ6. Do we include Fresno in Norcal?
You play the name on the front of the jersey, not the back. Salesian should be solid this year with solid players. I still put Pinewood in the Top 3. Count Doc out if you choose to. Maybe Pinewood, Mitty and Carondelet with Sopak there now. In no particular order for a Top 3?
I like the list. I don't know anything about Fresno outside of Clovis West being a State champion caliber team every year. I would throw Heritage in the mix of that top 10 as well. They have a High Major Muse on their roster. I'd say like most years. We are very top heavy in Norcal.
I think you have to go St Marys > Mitty. They beat Mitty last season and they return everyone. Mitty lost a lot. Pinewood lost all 5 starters. Yes Ladine is a stud. I do not think they have enough despite great coaching.
You mean 5 star recruit and another D1 transfer. But yes, Sopak is responsible for getting them there lol. That will rise you above others pretty quick
Kind of what I was thinking too.. but also why I asked about Salesian. I just don't know much about them. Do they have enough to overtake Mitty and PW with what those 2 lost to graduation?
Gee thanks for the lesson... I'll keep that in mind next time I lace em up... All I was wondering is if there was a reason that poster put them ahead of C-let and pinewood. Obviously it is all entirely guesswork but we all have different tidbits of info/ rumors/ predictions that lead us to our rankings. I was just wondering if there were specific solid players, or they are returning a number of starters.. I couldnt even tell you how Salesian did last year. I know the track record of all the top teams, but good rankings cant be solely based on history
Sorry I wasn't trying to be rude. Just conversating as if we were all a bunch of Norcal girls hoops fans enjoying a chat in person. You definitely had a legit question. And true that good rankings can't be based on history. It will be fun to watch
On this note.. do we have the horses to compete with MD, LJCD, Sierra Canyon, etc?? The team that comes out of Norcal will of course be battle tested and ready to roll in a one game winner take all... but jeeez there is some serious talent down south right now.
One of the Best true Pg's I have ever watched play basketball and a Soph from Campo that played on Cal Stars that can play.
2nd that. We need those teams to kill each other off and the winner to have a very off night in March in Sac.
I too forgot about Salesian. They were very good last year, and return 4 of their top 5 scorers. The name you might know (or will know) is Fonongoloa.
That's what I'm talking about. I do recognize that name (after a quick google search). She is force down low and will be a tough guard for many teams in the area.
Beside Lepolo I was thinking the other D1 transfer is Epps. They have a 3rd D1 transfer which means C-Let is even deeper. 🤯
As Lepolo's dad... yes I believe their best 3 players are transfers and they have a transfer from SMS that some college coaches may be intrigued by. Lets play ball!
I don't think anyone is sleeping on SRV. I'm personally not. Had them at #6 in all of Norcal above. That's open.
I thought that if a kid played for an AAU program and transfers, it's a one year sit out. Is that not the case?
