Grassroots 17U boys basketball ratings - 5/16/2021

 I have been working in the dark ages, I guess.  I have spent the past three summers searching tournaments for boys basketball scores to put together my "Sagarin-style" ratings and then I came across The Circuit website, which has every team in the country in one website.  EYBL, UAA, Prephoops, Recruit-Look, Zero Gravity.... you name it, they have got it.

So my life is easier and more difficult.  I used to concentrate on a few big leagues but now, I end up down in the weeds, checking basketball scores and calculating ratings for even the worst team in a state.  It might take me all summer, fall and winter to catch up on ratings!  LOL

So this is what I have....  If there is no rating, the team has either not played or I have not caught up with their scores.  The difference in rating would be the spread if two teams played.  The ratings for the EYBL are pretty solid... it gets dicier with teams that have not played a lot of games.

I have it listed by league or state (for independent teams).  I will post it by ranking in the next blog.
