Weekly Fantasy Rankings by Class
Seniors
#1- David Ginsberg (Syracuse)- 1.787
#2- Al Mighty (Texas)- 1.123
#3- Rob Nielsen (Stanford)- 1.016
Still a good week for all our seniors, but David was dominant, and his POTG award had a lot to do with it.
Juniors
#1- Dean Hoo (Marquette)- 1.456
#2- Tim Sheppard (Michigan State)- 1.400
#3- Jace Hunter (Pittsburgh)- 1.387
#4- Benton Gale (Florida)- 1.236
#5- Kuji Chagulia (Arizona)- 1.092
#6- Deacon Palmer (Mississippi State)- 1.042
It was a narrow win for Dean, as his double-double got the win for the junior class. Had Tim followed up his performance against Penn State with a good performance against Iowa, he might have won this award.
Sophomores
#1- Matthew Ginsberg (Georgetown)- 1.397
#2- Will Brown (Duke)- 1.373
#3- Sophus Abel (Texas)- 1.000
A close one here, but Matthew pulling down 28 boards this week was a big reason why he was able to edge Will out.
Freshmen
#1- Benito Sanchez (Utah State)- 1.179
#2- Cori O'Neill (Marquette)- .231
The good news is that Cori had some decent minutes this week. The bad news is that he was largely ineffective. Not that Benito was great, he only had 1 game this week and it was good enough. How bad is Florida State hurting without Jerry? Fairly bad.

David's POTG was good enough, but several good performances this week. Believe it or not, Cori should be happy to be on the list this week, because that means he at least played.
