There are kids in the 2009 class that scouts didn't get a chance to see last AAU season, doesn't mean they aren't good. Some AAU programs don't let kids play up a level and scouts don't spend much time watching 16U AAU games, instead they focus on the 17U level (rising seniors).
March is a dead month for recruiting...high school basketball is over and college coaches are preparing for the NCAA tournament. The AAU season heats up in April, there will be new names on the radar.

Given the break between HS and AAU, isn't this normally a time for those rankings to be updated? That would be nice to see. I know it's not what they'll look like by the time these kids hit campus, but the closer we get the more accurate they are.
