Nothing of note is really going on and the only news worth following is that the new Scout.com rankings were released for the AAU halfway point. Jon Hood was the big riser in the recent rankings, moving up from the 60s to #36. This means that Hood’s ranking is now closer to his Rivals placement (which was slightly high in my view) and puts him in contention for the McDonalds game if he has a good high school season. Hood is a player UK fans will love and the attention he is getting from the national services is great to see. In other news, John Wall came in at #3 and Daniel Orton at #10….high rankings for two guys UK is still hotly pursuing.
