Seeing as how players change AAU teams much quicker than they change high schools, I find listing players by AAU affiliation to be a waste of time. I hope other services/publications don't fall into this.
I wonder if Billy Thomas, former UDJ Cub and reported Titan target, is in the class of 2016 or 2017. He only played a few games of high school ball last year after transferring to a prep school down South and then returning to Michigan, but if this service is putting a lot of weight on AAU play, you would think he had done enough there to be rated somewhere.

This guy makes clear he only rates players he has seen in person, so it's possible he hasn't included Thomas for that reason.

UD Jesuit's 6-8 Greg Egboigbodin was contacted today by Cornell and Cleveland State, tweets Coach Pat Donnally. Today is first day that coaches can directly contact members of the Class of 2017.
Update: Add Iowa State, and apparently some other high majors.

Recent highlight video for Jermaine Jackson, Jr. Looks like he has been working on his outside shot.

Titans today are reported to have offered 6'9 F Gregory Eboigbodin of U of D Jesuit. Excellent. I think that's a natural fit. Greg has shown a lot of promise on the games I have watched.

I am mildly surprised Xavier Tillman didn't make it.
