2014 Winners
1) Duke (359 pts)
#1 Jahlil Okafor
#7 Tyus Jones
#13 Justise Winslow
#24 Grayson Allen
Duke ends Kentucky's string of 5 consecutive #1 finishes with a monster class
headlined by the nation's top player for a total of 4 top 25's.
2) Kentucky (346 pts)
#5 Karl Towns
#12 Trey Lyles
#18 Tyler Ulis
#23 Devin Booker
This class is a lot closer to Duke's than most people realize if you just consider
the objective, raw numbers as both boast the same number of top 25 players.
3) North Carolina (254 pts)
#9 Justin Jackson
#15 Theo Pinson
#25 Joel Berry
The Tarheels loaded up with backcourt/wing talent.
4) UNLV (239 pts)
#10 Rashad Vaughn
#22 Dwayne Morgan
#32 Goodluck Okonoboh
Seeing Duke, UK and UNC at the top of the RSCI rankings comes as no surprise
but for the Running Rebels to crack the top 5 is cause for celebration in Vegas.
5) Kansas (232 pts)
#4 Cliff Alexander
#8 Kelly Oubre
#65 Devonte Graham
#95 Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk
This class should probably be ranked higher but Graham was a late bloomer
and Mykhailiuk comes from overseas so both lacked exposure in the typical
evaluation venues.
6) UCLA (223 pts)
#11 Kevon Looney
#33 Thomas Welsh
#36 Jonah Bolden
Welsh made the biggest jump of anyone between the summer and final
rankings moving up 28 slots and Looney is a stud, so things are definitely
looking up for the Bruins.
7) Arizona (217 pts)
#3 Stanley Johnson
#39 Craig Victor
#44 Parker Jackson-Cartwright
Dusan Ristic
Connor MacDougall
This is the 2nd #7 class for Arizona in a row. Last year's bunch was led by
and the electrifying Aaron Gordon. This year the juice comes from another
high wattage player in Stanley Johnson.
8) Louisville (211 pts)
#25 Shaqquan Aaron
#37 Quentin Snider
#64 Chinanu Onuaku
#67 Jaylen Johnson
Anas Osama Mohmoud
The Cardinals reload with another solid class of diverse talents thanks to
Snider's reconsideration of his reconsideration of his commitment to Louisville.
9) Ohio State (204 pts)
#16 D'Angelo Russell
#29 Keita Bates-Diop
#54 Jae'Sean Tate
The best 2014 player from the state of Kentucky, Russell, finished his high
school career in Florida and will play his college ball in Ohio, much to the
delight of Buckeye fans.
10) Florida (203 pts)
#20 Devin Robinson
#31 Brandone Francis
#49 Chris Chiozza
Three guys in the top 50 plus a couple of top 10 level guys from the 2013
class equals lots of upside for the Gators.
