U of L's final 2017 recruiting rankings

Louisville basketball finished with a consensus top-10 recruiting class for the 2017 cycle.

The four major national recruiting sites – 247Sports, ESPN, Rivals and Scout – released their final Class of 2017 rankings in the past few days and all four Louisville signees showed up in the ratings.

THE 2018 U OF L RECRUITING BIG BOARD

With guard Darius Perry, forwards Jordan Nwora and Lance Thomas and center Malik Williams all signed, Louisville's 2017 class was ranked seventh in the nation by 247, ESPN and Rivals. Scout ranks U of L's class 10th.

The Cards' signing class ranked second in the ACC in all but one recruiting site's team rankings. Duke has the consensus top class in the conference, and Miami slipped ahead of Louisville in ESPN's team rankings, thanks in large part to the individual jump made by shooting guard Lonnie Walker.

MALIK WILLIAMS

Williams, a 6-foot-11 center, is U of L's highest-rated incoming freshman. He is considered a five-star prospect by 247, ESPN and Scout and four stars by Rivals. He ranked as high as 20th nationally (Scout) and isn't ranked lower than 27th (ESPN and Rivals).

DARIUS PERRY

A 6-foot-2 Georgia native, Perry has a wide range of national rankings but finished as a consensus four-star recruit. He ranks as high as 51st (ESPN) and as low as 94th (Rivals). Scout ranks Perry 82nd nationally, and 247Sports lists Perry at No. 69.

JORDAN NWORA

The jury seems to be out on Nwora, a 6-8 combo forward best known for his shooting touch. Nwora, who spent a prep year at Vermont Academy, ranks 46th in 247Sports' final ratings and 53rd on ESPN. He also ranks 90th on Rivals and 101st on Scout. Each of the sites give him four stars.

LANCE THOMAS

Another Georgia native and another combo forward, the 6-10 Thomas is a four-star prospect on 247Sports, ESPN and Scout and three stars on Rivals. His highest ranking is 76th, on 247Sports. He is 109th in Scout's rankings and 142nd on Rivals. He doesn't have a ranking on ESPN, although the site doesn't rank players outside the top 100.
