Gramp's Braggin Rights 17U boys basketball ratings - Circuit League ratings and More

 It has been an interesting summer for boys grassroots basketball.  I wasn't so sure I wanted to tackle a national poll again but I jumped in and the EYBL Peach Jam was worth the effort.  I was able to predict 70% of the Peach Jam games with my "Sagarin" style mathematical model.  It helped that The Circuit was tracking a lot of League and Independent scores so that I did not have to track down individual tournaments.

So consider this a final post of 17U Boys ratings.  I will start with the Circuit Leagues team averages and post links to each league and the Independents and my top 2000 17U teams.  I missed some teams in my modeling but there are only so many hours in the day and I ran out of time.

The Circuits were all competitive but EYBL was, by far, the elite of the elite. UAA and 3SSB both came close but most leagues were a far cry from the excellence of EYBL.  There were a few teams in the other leagues that could hang with EYBL teams and a few EYBL teams that probably did not belong.

Here are the League averages:

I have updated all The Circuit ratings for teams that have played games.  There are still a few that are listed with no record and I have not found any BallerTV results for them either.  I cannot believe the level of activity this Spring.  So many teams and so many tournaments.  It is like someone let the dogs out, after being cooped up for a full year.  I love the activity. The EYBL is still the top league by far and can throw Brad Beal and about six other teams into a hat, pick out one and have a pretty solid #1 US 17U team.  I feel pretty good about the EYBL ratings but some of the other leagues have top teams with just a few games and I am not sur...
