Top early period signing classes
1. Duke – The Blue Devil recruiting machine continues to roll this year highlighted by the 3rd best player in the country power forward Josh McRoberts and perhaps the top floor general Greg Paulus both five-star prospects. To go along with their inside-outside duo, Duke also signed athletic center Eric Boateng and small forward Jamal Boykin both four-star prospects. The wildcard could be Martynas Pocius who was one of the fastest risers in the last two months.

This Duke haul could have Coach K cutting down the nets again in the near future.
2. Oklahoma State - Future Cowboy head coach Sean Sutton did his father proud this year by landing the nation’s No. 1 player Gerald Green to go along with fellow five-star point guard Byron Eaton. Continuing their raid into Texas the Oklahoma State staff also snagged commitments from four-star shooting guard Terrell Harris and Roderick Flemings to give the Cowboys four of the countries top 56 players.
3. Washington – Lorenzo Romar and his staff landed two of the biggest prizes of the recruiting season when the convinced 5-star shooting guard Martell Webster and four-star power forward’s Jon Brockman and Artem Wallace to stay at home and play for the Huskies. In addition that added point guard Justin Dentmon, combo guard Harvey Perry and Roburt Sallie to give them some depth in the backcourt.
4. Kansas – Bill Self continues to pull in nationally ranked players during his short stint in Lawrence, this year the Jayhawk head skipper proved that Kansas is a force from coast-to-coast by reaching into Alaska for the Nation’s No. 12 player in point guard Mario Chalmers, Washington for No. 14 Micah Downs and Chicago for No. 10 Julian Wright. While this class won’t be as big as most in the top five what it lacks in numbers it more than makes up for with talent.

Bill Self is all smiles about his future Jayhawks.
5. Louisville – Five-star power forward Amir Johnson highlights the Cardinal class that could consist of as many as eight signees but foundation of the future will come from the five four-star players Chad Millard, Bryan Harvey, Terrence Williams, Clarence Holloway and Andre McGee. The versatile group which also includes Jonathan Huffman and JaJuan Spillman give Louisville a little bit of everything.
