Flagrant fouls has a good ranking page

Birch is first in Canada, followed by Bullar. heres the link http://www.flagrantfouls.com/rankings/canadian/?y=2012

Have you seen Andre Dummond’s (rated 1st overall 2012) mix tape. He looks like a 7 footer who can play the 3. 4 and 5.

It is big news for Birch

I like the list. Nolan Shulman has a good finger on the pulse of the guys coming up. But with Birch out of the way, look for Bhullar, Jankovic, Bennett and Staukas to make a sharp turn up the list. I know that Jankovic had impressed many people this weekend as did Stauskus. Bennett is just too good. Don’t be surprised if you see Junior Lomomba climb up too. He played on the Wisconsin state champ team with Vander Blue so he should ahve learned something.
