by Alex Schwartz
We are just three weeks away from the start of a new calendar year and the fall signing period is well behind us. Now is a good time to take a look at the
remaining ranked players from the Northstar Basketball Post-July 2012 Top 150.
Of the 150 players, just 23 of them are currently uncommitted. There are seven others who have made a verbal pledge, but have not inked a National Letter of Intent and thus not bound to the school to which they have committed.
Although there may not be many ranked prospects available, there are still a number of big-time prospects on the board. In fact, over 25% of the available ranked players are five-star, top 25 prospects. Plus, 11 four-star players remain uncommitted.
The following is a list of the 23 uncommitted players from the 2012 Top 150.The players ranked 1-26 are five-stars, 27-104 are four-stars and 105-150 are three-stars. There are also some additional notes below the list.
