A very strong top 5 players in The 2018 - 2019 MemphisHoopers.com Preseason Top 25 Senior Rankings with the first time in area basketball history having the No. 1 player in the country via ESPN High School Rankings in James Wiseman. Wiseman playing for the reigning AAA state champions Memphis East solidify the top overall spot locally, nationally, and worldwide. Memphis Basketball overall talent level has rebounded tremendously from the last two to three years. The new hiring of Anfernee 'Penny' Hardaway as head coach of University of Memphis has brought the basketball juice back to Memphis.

   His college decision will be a major, major notch for the University of Memphis historically in the late period of April and it definitely will be very interesting with all the heavyweights as Kentucky and Kansas in the ring plus our home town favorite University of Memphis and crew. This year the rankings don't have a big mover in the mix after July events as most of your spring and summer activities like MUS Summer Camp have concluded other than the fast paced July evaluation period at hand.

   Rankings are based on summer circuit activity, varsity play going into high school postseason action and character compadres! All of this play effects your rankings because this is a grow up period. If you fell like you should be ranked higher, show me and it will happen. I will watch your team play this season depending on schedules. MemphisHoopers.com staff also takes into consideration, character and attitude as well as basketball skills accordingly. Staff is at all major Under Armour, Nike, & Adidas circuit events, Elevate Hoops, Terrific 24, Big Foot Hoops and other major showcases.
