1. Player Rankings - ranging from 5th Year Players all the way down to 6th, 7th, & 8th Graders, it's a joke how far ahead we are of the competition.
2. Hot Recruiting Information Section - this section has been updated with all the latest recruiting information on a daily basis continuously since 1998, which once again puts us way ahead of our competition.
3. Insight & Analysis that you can't get anywhere else - not only are we true to our name in terms of providing you with the hoop scoop, but we also tell you why things are happening and how they fit into the grand scheme of things.
4. Historical Perspective - HOOP SCOOP Editor & Publisher Clark Francis has been to every NCAA Final Four since 1973 and has only missed two of the superstar oriented shoe company camps (i.e. NIKE, adidas, & Reebok) since 1983. It's our guess that there is not another person alive who can make such a claim.
5. Accuracy - our track record speaks for itself. But, if you don't believe just ask the college coaches, fans, and players who make ours the most read basketball recruiting web site on the internet.
6. Links - we used to provide you with the links page to all the other best web sites in the Visitors Section, but now it's time to ante-up.
7. Controversy - we always try to be fair & accurate, but we also call it like we see and, as a result, sometimes really stir things up. But that's also part of our charm.
8. Dates & Future Events - we also have a complete list of all of the top upcoming events, along with the date and location.
9. Ranking of the Top Recruiting Classes To-Date - tracking the race to see who has the best recruiting class is one of the best things we do and, as a result, I'm surprised that our competition hasn't picked up on it yet. But, then, again, it's probably too much work for all of the amateurs out there.
10. Archives - we have player rankings of the top players in each class dating back to 1983 and rankings of the top recruiting classes dating back to 1998 from both the Fall and the Spring Signing Periods. And we break it down a number of different ways, including by which school signed the most good players, talent rating average per recruiting, who signed the best two players, who signed the best three players, who signed the best four players over a two-year period, and conference-by-conference rankings of the top recruiting classes.
11. Network of writers & correspondents that is second to none - the people we have writing for us, like our Ohio Editor Chris Johnson, Philadelphia/Eastern Pennsylvania/South Jersey Editor Allen Rubin, New York City Editor Ron Naclerio, Florida Editor Rick Staudt, Mid-South Editor Jim Rothman, Tennessee Correspondent, Andre Whitehead, West Coast Editor Dinos Trigonis, Washington/DC Editor Dennis Marshall, Georgia Editor Linzy Davis, Mississippi Editor Lavel Johnson, Alabama Editor Mark Komara, North Carolina/South Carolina Editor Brian Clifton, and Texas Editor Tim Miller help keep us way ahead of the curve.
12. We look at things in ways nobody else does - the best example is our ranking of the Top 5th Year Players, which includes all the players who are in their 9th semester or more of high school and/or prep school. And this is important not just because most 5th Year Players have an age advantage, but also because certain state associations (i.e. New York) do not allow their members to play against teams that have 5th Year Players.
13. When we say "Basketball's our Business, we mean it - unlike a lot of our competition, we don't try and cover other sports (i.e. football) and we don't have hundreds of people, many of whom have never met one another and don't know what the other is even doing, working for us.
