Way too Early Boys Basketball Top Ten.

Written Saturday September 9th at 10:00 PM

Here are my way too early Boys Basketball rankings. These aren't the official rankings but there is an idea.

1. Clarkston: Wolves really have no true weaknesses, a senior heavy team, four Division One prospects. It looks like Clarkston doesn’t want to give up their State Championship.

2. West Bloomfield: Lakers still very talented, could make some noise this season with their athleticism and talent for coach Jeremy Dehna.

3. Troy: Colts still have talent led by Jason Dietz. Troy could be a team that can do some damage for coach Gary Fralick in the always tough Red.

4. Oak Park: The Knights will be very athletic and talented this season for coach Bobby Thompson. Oak Park will be favored in the White.

5. Stoney Creek: Mike Melgarani, Jericho Barr-Redmond, and Nate Davis will be the key to lead coach Steve Norgrove’s Cougars this season.

6. Hazel Park: The Vikings have a ton of experience back led by Carl Bow for coach Brendan Barrett. I’m curious how Hazel Park will do in the Red this season.

7. Troy Athens: Red Hawks have a ton of experience back led by Taylor McCaskill. They will be a team to be a recon with in the White this season for coach Dave Scott.

8. Orion: Dragons have a ton of experience back for coach Jim Manzo. Orion could be a very dangerous team after winning only four games last season in a league that had a ton of experience with them. The Dragons will be a team to watch in the Blue.

9. Oxford: Never count out a coach Steve Laidlaw team especially when they have Michael Raisch and Nolan Harding. The Wildcats should be fine this season especially in the tough White.

10. Rochester: Falcons have a new coach in Vance Kirkwood and they have a ton of talent back led by Hunter Schlater, Corey Gullridge, and LaMarko Gullridge. It could be interesting in the Blue this season.

Teams to keep an eye on: Farmington, Pontiac, Berkley, Seaholm, Ferndale, Groves, Southfield Arts and Tech, North Farmington.

    Heard yesterday that thomas Kithier is still not eligible to play at Clarkston. Macomb Dakota giving mhsaa a hard time allowing it, even though kithier family moved to Clarkston.

    I knew this would happen. Dakota wants Kithier to sit out the season. They believed that the transfer was athletically motivated, even though Kithier's family moved to Clarkston.

    Does sound like that Hank Schemmel the transfer from Maryland is going to help them 6'7" wing who can play the pg spot which would help Clarkston in getting loyer and Robinson open off screens

    He should help them especially in the wing spots.

    Heard Taylor Currie may be decommiting from Uofm today. Also may be going back to the 2019 class. Heard Wisconsin and Ohio State involved.
