Power forward Dwight Powell’s recent commitment to Stanford has pushed the Cardinal to No. 8 on the latest national team recruiting rankings, according to Rivals.com. Stanford has four commitments, led by Toronto-born Powell, who is the No. 23 overall prospect on the Rivals list.
Cal, which also has a four-man class expected to sign beginning Nov. 11, checks in at No. 25.
The Cardinal and Bears are the only two Pac-10 schools on the Rivals’ top-25 list.
Here is the full list.

See. I didn’t want to poo-poo the prior high rank of 15 I saw posted here before, but Cal has no one player ranked really high, just a bunch of pretty-very good players. Franklin is 72 (or 85) while Solomon and Crabbe are about 90-100.
You’d really like to have at least one elite guy to anchor the team at one position. Teams like Duke, Uconn, Kansas, UNC and UCLA get multiple high elites annually, so Top100′s can’t compete with those programs.

The only question I have is, do these rankings turn out to be right more often than dead wrong? There have been a lot of Ray Youngs and Jelani Gardners over the years.
