Dunbar now nationally ranked, according to one site
We wondered what effect Dunbar’s 98-76 win against nationally ranked Whitney Young at the Flyin’ to the Hoop boys basketball event would have on the Wolverines’ reputation around the country, and at least one site has noticed.
On Tuesday, MaxPreps.com ranked Dunbar No. 22 in its newest Xcellent 25 national ranking.
Their thoughts:
Entering the Xcellent 25 after being totally off the radar a week ago, Dunbar grabbed the nation’s attention with a 98-76 win over then-No. 25 Whitney Young (Chicago, Ill.) at the Flyin’ to the Hoop event in Ohio on Sunday. The Wolverines have won nine games in a row by 13 points or more and feature a balanced scoring attack led by 6-4 senior guard Geron Johnson (14.2 points per game), 5-9 senior guard Ryan Bass (13.7), 6-2 senior wing Deon Stewart (11.4) and 6-6 sophomore forward Deontae Hawkins (11.0).
Dunbar did not make the USA Today Super 25, but Whitney Young, which was No. 16 in that ranking, was out of the poll.
Two other Flyin’ to the Hoop participants improved in USA Today’s ratings. Findlay Prep (Nev.) moved from No. 4 to No. 2, and Montverde (Fla.) Academy moved from No. 25 to No. 24 after defeats on Trotwood-Madison and Wayne.

Dunbar would beat Col.Northland if they played. That’s what makes them polls so invalid. What credentials goes into determining who is ranked higher than another. I think Dunbar would give UD all they could handle, no kidding. Why you may ask? Coach Pullen knows how to win, Gregory doesn’t as he lost the game vs Xavier playing Huelsman over Dunbars dunking machine Benson. Wake up Gregory, you’re sleeping at the wheel!

English is a great language, might want to try it sometime you two. Dunbar is good, but would NOT beat Northland, no way no how. Northland is VERY good and barely lost to Oak Hills which has like 6 guys going D1.

They knocked Whitney Young out of USA Today top 25. If they beat Trotwood by 10-15, they are in (because Monterverde just barely beat T-M, and they are #24 in USA this week). The bottom line is Dunbar won’t lose another game this year.

First, while Dunbar is an excellent team and I am pulling for them to win D2 state, they would NOT beat Northland. The main reason: they can’t compete with Northland’s size. Second, Northland beat Oak Hill, held UD savior Juwan Staten to 5 points and are still undefeated. Finally, it would be nearly impossible for a high school team to defeat a division 1 team, I don’t care how much a coach “knows” how to win.
