Jon Hood Moves Up the Charts

The new Rivals.com Rankings are out and its a mixed bag for Kentucky fans. Jon Hood has moved up to #19 in the rankings and has become a 5 star player. While that is higher that most other services, it isnt too extravagant in my eyes. I love Hood as a player and think he has the potential to be the most successful UK player from the state since Rondo and Derek Anderson. In more downward news, GJ Vilarino went unranked in the Top 150…a result not surprising due to his slipping reviews in the past year. While I think the rankings often miss players and are by no means the gospel, GJ has seen his stock fall quite a bit. Hopefully he will pick it up and be ready come next fall.
