The preseason rankings are here…

As you probably saw in today’s paper, we’ve got Simeon No. 1, followed by Marshall, St. Joseph, Thornwood and Bloom. Here’s what some other sources have to say…

Joe Henrickson’s City/Suburban Hoops Report checks in with the following top 5: Simeon, St. Joe’s, Loyola, Lincoln Park and Marshall.

Henrickson’s preseason preview is available now. The City/Suburban Hoops Report is a revelation. If you’re reading this blog, I guarantee you’d enjoy it. The Report is high school team, not recruiting based, and Henrickson has a certain knack for noticing up and coming suburban teams before most of us do.

Subscriptions are $25. You can email Joe for more information: hoopsreport@yahoo.com
