Having been around NKY and watched these girls for years, I would put Crittendon ahead of Moss, not that its a huge difference. Moss tends to get a little bump for name recognition. Cheesman does not belong on this list. Good player but not of this caliber, there are 5-6 others in the 2012 class just in NKY who would be higher; you can't have 2 players in the top 20 and lose as much as Ryle did.

I have seen quite a few NKY games as well and I'm not so sure I can agree with your assessments. Take a look at Moss and Crittendon head-to-head last season:

Game 1 (BC 58- Ryle 53) - Moss 32 points, 16 rebounds; Crittendon 19 points, 7 rebounds

Game 2 (BC 42 - Ryle 41) - Moss 29 points, 14 rebounds; Crittendon 8 points, 5 rebounds

Game 3 (BC 32 - 30) - Moss 18 points, 13 rebounds; Crittendon 10 points, 7 rebounds

Totals - Moss 79 & 43, Crittendon 37 & 19.

What better way to evaluate than head-to-head?

"Name recognition?" Moss has started four years of HS basketball overall, has scored well over 1000 points and will reach 1000 rebounds for her career, possibly even this season. She averaged 22.6 PPG and 10.8 RPG last year and led her team to the States where she impressed those who had never seen her play prior. Seems to me her last name isn't nearly as important as what she has done on the floor.

I don't know if Cheesman belongs in the Top 20 or not but I believe she is the Ryle player showing the most improvement year to year as she gets stronger and more mature and continues to work hard at her game.
