Ohio’s Best Boys Basketball Players
Buckeye state boasts more talent than ever before

By Steve Helwagen

Over the course of the summer, Ohio’s best boys basketball players showed their stuff in various AAU and summer camp events from coast to coast.
These events helped Ohio’s best players earn reputations as the nation’s very best. The national rankings supplied by ScoutHoops.com are dotted with players from Ohio.

Five of the current seniors are in the national top 100, led by Dayton Dunbar’s Daequan Cook at No. 16. Even better is the Class of 2007, where seven Ohio prospects are listed among the top 50. That group is led by the North College Hill duo of O.J. Mayo and Bill Walker, ranked first and fourth nationally, respectively.

The sophomore class in Ohio also boasts two of the nation’s top 15 prospects, including Cincinnati Hughes’ Yancey Gates at No. 5.

“You would be hard pressed to go back and find three years consecutively where there is this type of talent in the state of Ohio,” said HoopScoopOnline.com Ohio editor Chris Johnson. “And there is not only talent but also some size. In that sophomore class, there are four or five really good players who are already 6-8 or taller.”

The Ohio talent quotient would be even better if Herb Pope, a 6-8 forward considered a top-10 national junior, had followed through with his stated plan to transfer to a school in Ohio. Instead, he began the new school year at his old school in Aliquippa, Pa.

With the summer camp and AAU season over, Johnson has reassessed his lists of Ohio’s top prospects and updated them. The following is a look at the top prospects in each class in Ohio high school boys basketball, as rated by Johnson.

this kids a slasher, layup or nothing. at this point has a lot to develop in his game, but he is young. physical development will also be importnat for devon.

[MARVYMARV14]

I would also like to add that he plays a lot of point guard for his team.
At least last year he did.

• Although his scoring output has diminished from 17 points per game to 14.3 as a sophomore, 6-3 guard Devon Moore of Northland (6-3) is a more polished player simply taking advantage of a better supporting cast.

"Devon’s doing things that are so precocious for a kid his age," Northland coach Satch Sullinger said. "He doesn’t force things, but he knows when to take over a game. He puts the ball where it can be used to help the team."

Brian Snow from the rivals network thinks that Devon is the best Guard in OH for 2008...

[MARVYMARV14]

Devon, is a very heady guard, just needs to put on some muscle, then he would dominate.

I would have to agree at this point. Also, Moore was named to the First Team All-City League North Division today.
