We’re totally a rankings whore, and we love to cut/paste excel charts, so here’s the final list of the 2008 Rivals top 50 Seniors, which came out today.   

By our count, here are the big winners:

• UCLA – 4 players
• Arizona – 3
• Wake Forest – 3
• Alabama – 2
• Florida – 2
• Georgetown – 2
• Kansas – 2
• Kentucky – 2
• Louisville – 2
• Memphis – 2
• UNC – 2
• Ohio St. – 2

In other words, the usual suspects (minus Duke who only had one player, but loses virtually nobody off of this year’s team).

Before getting all giddy and making F4 reservations, keep in mind Bruin, Wildcat and Demon Deacon fans that more than one pundit has declared the Class of 2008 as one of the worst in recent memory.  There are no Greg Odens, Michael Beasleys, Kevin Durants, Derrick Roses or Kevin Loves in this year’s group – you’ll be lucky to get a Kyle Singler or two. 

Update:  we missed this previously, but here’s the Rivals Top 30 classes.
