Back in November I released my Post-Early Signing Period Top 25 Classes. Now, with 149 of players in the D1 Hoops Report Class of 2011 Top 150 having made their commitments, it is time to come out with the final team recruiting rankings.

The top four schools are the same as they were in November, with the only change being that the two and three spots have been flipped. In addition, the top 10 includes nine of the same teams as it did seven months ago.

The first time around I did a top 25 plus 10 honorable mentions. This time the list will be of the top 30 classes along with 10 honorable mentions. Note that all player rankings refer to the D1HR 2011 Top 150 or, if the ranking is of a post-grad, then it is from the D1 Hoops Report 2011 Post-Grad Top 40.

So, without further ado, have a look below at the top 2011 recruiting classes in the NCAA and check back for conference recruiting rankings over the next few days.
