New FAB 50 National Rankings

March 10, 2014 by Ronnie Flores Leave a Comment

Roller coaster ride for Curie of Chicago comes to a close after Condors lose their first round game in Illinois Class 4A state tournament. This is the week we start to see some major movement because of playoff upsets, as three new teams crack the top 10 in additional to six clubs moving into the top 25. Curie’s ouster means a potential No. 1 vs. No. 2 FAB 50 matchup could take place at the Dick’s Sporting Goods National High School Tournament in New York at the conclusion of the season.

Making Sense Of Curie Mess

March 5, 2014 by Ronnie Flores 1 Comment

It’s been a tumultuous 12 days for Curie (Chicago) with most of the news surrounding its top-rated basketball team away from the court. While Curie’s plight brought national attention to Chicago basketball, the Condors finally returned to the court on Tuesday — and promptly saw their season end in an overtime loss. We examine the situation from the perspective of respected national rankings compilers and examine Cliff Alexander’s national player of the year candidacy.

Updated FAB 50 National Rankings

March 3, 2014 by Ronnie Flores Leave a Comment

An eligibility ordeal in Chicago that has drawn national attention did not shake up the Student Sports FAB 50 — at least not this week. Top-ranked Curie of Chicago had all of its regular season wins forfeited, but on Monday the IHSA ruled the Condors can compete in the Illinois Class 4A state tournament. Curie will have a tough road to a state title while the mythical national title hopes of another public school in the Pacific Northwest became much stronger due to another key off-the-court development.

30 College Recruiting Red Flags

February 28, 2014 by Ronnie Flores Leave a Comment

As the high school season comes to a close and the travel/grassroots circuit kicks off, we were inspired by a baseball story to produce 30 red flags scouts and college coaches notice at gyms that potentially hurt player’s chances at securing a college scholarship. Many of these are common sense, but it is still important to remind kids and their parents how their subtle actions could be viewed in a negative light by the important decision makers who are watching.
