BISHOP GORMAN

The following is a list of 30 high school basketball teams that appear to have a powerhouse crew returning from this year’s squad.

All teams are listed in alphabetical order, with 2009-2010 records listed. This is simply an early list of squads that played well this season with underclass talent expected to return. As always, transfers are the rule, rather than the exception, these days in high school basketball, and this list is expected to be fluid and changing until our season preview occurs next fall.

This is done in fun – and follows what seems to be every college basketball website doing the same type of look at next season’s early favorites. This list does not include schools that have rosters that benefit from numerous transfers or lesser-known foreign players, including Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, VA), Findlay Prep (Henderson, NV), Montrose Christian (Rockville, MD), Mountain State Academy (Beckley, WV), and Montverde Academy (Montverde, FL).
