From a sheer talent perspective, which team

[LukeFeddersen]

From a sheer talent perspective, which team has the most talent in each class at state? Record doesn't matter, talent overall.

1A is hard because the talent is so widely distributed, but Danville is BC Moore's power rating Number 1 team, so have to go with them, but my gut tells me that upsets may rule the 1A tourney.
2A- Western Christian, with Cascade right behind. Van Lingen going to Dordt and Cascade's Green going to college at Sioux Falls on scholarship with his cousin, David Wedewer of Wahlert.
3A- Wahlert has four starters with college basketball scholly offers- Pemsl, Till, Wedewer and Maiers, although I don't know if Till and Maiers have made a final decision/choice among smaller colleges.
4A- Valley is my darkhorse, if they possibly can be called that because they have three terrifically talented Mid-major type players, but Iowa City West's entire starting lineup has had colleges licking their chops. Only center Wali Parks has apparently passed up lower offers to test the JC route in hopes of getting a D1 scholarship in another year or two, but West has four starters of D1 caliber, including Devonte Lane, whose ISU offer was from the previous coaching staff.

However- whether the talent will get anybody other than Western Christian to a title, I don't know. Danville, Wahlert and IC West possibly could all get upset because their classes have some really talented teams..
