Interesting to see how the teams in the league have been recruiting over the past three seasons. AAC has had 7 or more classes ranked in the 24/7 top 100 for those three seasons. This hasn't translated to the tournament however.

Also, what's up with Tulsa? Do they recruit?

I've ranked them based on how well they've recruited overall. The top 5 should ALWAYS compete for a tournament bid. These are good numbers overall in CBB.

Team: Rank in 15', 16', 17'

1. Uconn-39, 8, 21
2. SMU- 42, 52, 44
3. Memphis- 10, 92, 55
4. Temple- 52, 75, 57
5. Cincy- 58, 62, 61
6. UCF-56, Nr, 72
7. Houston-66, Nr, 69
8. USF-47, 87, Nr
9. ECU-100, 67, Nr
10. Tulane-72, Nr, Nr
11. Tulsa- Nr, Nr, Nr


I know recruiting rankings don't matter much in college basketball because of unbalanced classes, etc. Just thought it was interesting. We should hopefully see Memphis, Temple, Uconn return to the mix next season. SMU and Cincy will keep rolling.

I don't know how this service ranks classes but Tulsa's '15 class was one Juco player and a transfer. 2016 had 8 players 3 Juco and 4 freshmen and a transfer. 2017, so far, is a freshman and a Juco.

Also important to know that college basketball doesn't matter much in recruiting rankings.

247 is a horrible basketball evaluation service.
