The Takkle Top 100 have been launched!
Takkle has officialy launched the Takkle Top 100 in baseball, boys lacrosse, and girls lacrosse. These lists compile the top junior and senior athletes in high school and are following in the footsteps of the popular Takkle Top 100 football rankings as well as the Takkle Top 25 basketball rankings.
The TAKKLE Top 100 baseball rankings, powered by Baseball Factory are based on the opinions of Baseball Factory scouting and baseball operations personnel, in addition to information and opinions gathered through discussions with scouts and otherwise informed baseball people throughout the industry. The order of the rankings was determined through consideration of a combination of the players' present ability and future potential, along with their value as both college and professional prospects. Baseball Factory is the leader in player development and college placement nationwide. Since their inception in 1994, over 2,000 Baseball Factory players have been selected in the amateur draft, over 175 have made it to the big leagues and over 20,000 have gone on to play college baseball receiving $500 million in scholarships.
The Takkle Top 100 boys lacrosse rankings is compiled with the assistance of Jake Reed's Blue Chip Lacrosse Camp. Jake Reed has established a network of Division I coaches, scouts, high school and club coaches from around the country. This list reflects the top junior 09' and senior 08' lacrosse players rated not only by current ability and performance but also by their potential to perform at the college level. These factors are measured by personal observation at the Blue Chip Lacrosse Camp, other tournaments, showcases, and high school games.
The Takkle Top 100 girls lacrosse rankings powered by womenslacrosse.com is based on information compiled from their vast network of coaches and scouts. With decades of experience in lacrosse assessment and education, womenlacrosse.com has become the leader in the women's game by continually forging initiatives, including tournaments and clinics, that help drive the sport from grass roots to global.

Athletes are rated using a series of factors including game statistics, current performance, ability, major lacrosse accolades, college potential, and level of competition in the individual's home state. These factors are measured against such intangibles as on the field leadership and game sense to more accurately determine the final ranking.

Tristan Thomspon: Committs early to the Texas Longhorns
Highly-regarded sophomore forward Tristan Thompson ended his recruitment early by committing to Texas, according to the Austin American-Statesman. Thompson, who is originally from California, but plays for St. benedict’s High in Newark, N.J., is considered one of the top players in the entire class of 2010.
"He's a big Kevin Durant fan," Thompson's AAU coach, Ro Russell, told the Statesmen. "And he was impressed by (UT assistant) Rodney Terry and (head coach) Rick Barnes."
- Kudos to Fort Worth’s North Crowley High guard Willie Warren and the Panthers, who advanced to the Class 5A state tournament by trouncing Midland Lee. Warren scored a school-record 47 points in the victory. Former Kansas star Keith Langford previously held the record with a 45 point performance.
"My teammates put me in a position to score. They gave me the opportunity to do this," Warren told the Dallas Morning News. "I had 30 at halftime, and they all could have said, 'Willie's got his, now it's time to get mine.' But we've all been unselfish all year."
This came after Warren led a balanced scoring attack with 17 points in a semifinal win against previously fourth-ranked Duncanville High.
"The only thing that makes this a big deal is the respect we have for Duncanville," North Crowley coach Tommy Brakel told the Fort-Worth Star Telegram after the game.
- In the weekend’s biggest upset, Jordan Hamilton and Compton’s Dominguez High toppled California powerhouse Mater Dei 63-60 in the CIF Southern Section championship game.
Dominguez, which won its 10th CIF-SS boys basketball championship, improved to 28-2. Mater Dei is 31-1. Both teams play in the CIF Southern California Regionals next week.
