Weekly Fantasy Rankings by Class
Seniors
#1- Al Mighty (Texas)- 1.561
#2- David Ginsberg (Syracuse)- 1.556
#3- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- 1.407
A really, really close race, as all our seniors continue to perform well. Rob is having a spectacular senior season so far after 3 subpar seasons. Al actually might have won this going away had he not fouled out against Stephen F. Austin. His 2 POTG awards this week outdid David's POTG and double-double.
Juniors
#1- Jace Hunter (Pittsburgh)- 2.145
#2- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- 1.185
#3- Deacon Palmer (Mississippi State)- 1.129
#4- Dean Hoo (Marquette)- .949
#5- Tim Sheppard (Michigan State)- .714
What an incredible game by Jace, who has won another contest for the junior class. In just 1 game this week Jace had a POTG and a double-double, winning this junior contest by almost a full point.
Sophomores
#1- Sophus Abel (Texas)- 1.642
#2- Matthew Ginsberg (Georgetown)- 1.394
#3- Will Brown (Duke)- 1.255
The sophomores brought it this week, but it was our sophomore Texan combining with Al Mighty to give Texas 2 contest wins this week. Against Michigan State, he had a POTG and a double-double, and against North Texas he took advantage of limited minutes. Still a heck of a performance by Matthew and Will as well.
Freshmen
#1- Jerry Miller (Florida State)- 2.308
#2- Cori O'Neill (Marquette)- 2.000
#3- Benito Sanchez (Utah State)- 1.100
It would have been a shame had Cori won this freshman contest with just 1 minute played during the week, but it was a good minute. He was outdone by Jerry though, who only played 13 minutes this week but took full advantage of them. It was a good week for all our freshmen though.

What a week! 12 of our 14 players that played this week were 1.100 or better and 3 of them at 2.000 or better. Our guys brought it this week! Lots of POTG awards and Double-Doubles. Still haven't hit a triple-double yet (at least if we have, I've missed it), but this is competition at its finest.
