The ratings on Chen Yue, 6-7 post, from China continues to climb to a five star phenom. I think that Asha Thomas might be under-rated after she fully recovers from her knee surgery. Great overall recruit class! GO BEARS!

Two 5-star Centers in the same class! S71 is right about Yue, her climb from little-known Chinese junior hoopster to 5-star USA college recruit is pretty impressive. I'm assuming more and more people have seen her play, and her game has continued to develop. With both of Yue's parents having played internationally for China, and professionally in China, Chen must have a pretty highly developed hoops IQ and skill set. In my mind she is the most highly anticipated freshman due to report for Summer Bridge at Cal next month. Can't wait!

What's impressive is Duke having the top ranked recruiting classes in both men's and women's basketball ... but love our Cal bears!

Duke always ranks high, but with current coach, team never seem to meet expectations. I think in many ways the institution recruits for itself...

Joanne backed away from the Duke job, and she would have been very good there--but then landed at UVA, which was where she wanted to be.

I hope UVA improves. If not, Boyle's tenure there may be on shaky ground. Fans are growing restless.

I would think if Yue is a 5 star recruit, we should be higher than number 8.

I don't follow wmns recruiting much, but I thought it was odd that they had 52 5 stars listed...vs. mens side having 20.

It does seem like a lot of 5 stars, but how often can we say that the WBB team and the MBB team both got (2) 5 star players?

I wass looking at 2016 Prospects class that Kat posted and there were 9 5 stars players. That was what I was basing it on.
