Hoopscoop ranked the Bonnies class as being the 45th best in the nation. Last year they ranked the Bonnies at 50. James Williams with a talent rating of 6 is the highest rated Bonnie player I've ever seen from Hoopscoop. I know Wade Dunston and Yankuba Camara both had a talent rating of 4.

Can Hoopscoop be trusted? I find it hard to believe that last year only 49 teams had a better recruiting class than us. I just can't beleive it!

Aren't these the guys who rank based on the total points they award, so that a large class moves you up in the rankings even if every individual recruit is mediocre?
