It was little more than one year ago that Chris Sherwood first began to make a name for himself among college coaches. An explosively athletic swingman, it was hard for Sherwood to go unnoticed with his high flying aerial assault. But while a wide variety of explosive dunks where enough to draw coaches’ attention, the consensus at the time was that while he was athletically gifted, he still had a lot of work to do as a basketball player.

Notre Dame swingman Angel Nunez begins the year as the top ranked player in Massachusetts’ class of 2011 but Pat Connaughton is a close second coming off his incredible summer.
