P-Hoops is getting back into things with the 2011-2012 Indiana High School Basketball season right around the corner. After a long hiatus, I'm returning to writing about one of my greatest passions in life: the Indiana hoops scene. I'm hoping to have time to re-establish the niche I had carved out, with game recaps, player breakdowns, interviews, and other hoops-related nuggets for readers to enjoy. Today I'm starting with a ranking of the top players in the state for the 2012 class. It's hard to believe that when this blog was launched, these kids were FRESHMEN! All grown up, and with many college choices already made, P-Hoops is proud to unveil the best of the best in the 2012 senior class.
* One caveat is that these rankings exclude former Indiana studs D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera (formerly of North Central) and Mitch McGary (formerly of Chesterton), who are in prep schools out of state. Smith-Rivera, currently at Oak Hill, is a Georgetown commit. McGary, ranked as high as number two in the nation by Scout.com, is at Brewster Academy and is committed to Michigan. These two would undoubtedly find their way into the top 5 of this list, with McGary a likely number one overall. Also left off the list is former Carmel big man AJ Hammons, committed to Purdue, who would also be a top ten ranked player.
