This is interesting to look at - Year after year, Region 8 gets very little love and they have just as many Top 40 teams as Region 1 and 2. Region 5 has 6 teams in Hoopster's Top 40. Seems to be a Region that Shilo comes out of every year. Nice to see some other teams in the mix this year. Don't know much about Wilton/Wing. They must be pretty good if they are Preseason #14. Anyone have any info on top players on that team?

They bring back 3 players that played big minutes for them last year: Deng, Deng, Dalen Leftbear and Kelson Keja. They seem to reload every year.

I heard that Deng Deng was gone. Something on one of his social media accounts that my kids had showed me. Great that he is back and yes he will be able to lead that team with some big numbers.

If he was that would change this top 40 a lot.

How? I don’t think much would change at all. Maybe drop them from one to 3? Still would favor them in their region.

Unless someone else transferred in, 4 Winds would still be good, they certainly would not be State Champ contenders without Deng Deng. It would be a 4 team race with North Star, St. Johns and Harvey all having realistic shot at taking the Region. 4 Winds would have very little height and be dependent on Leftbear and Keja (two good players) to carry the load. Not sure if they would have enough depth and talent to be a top 10 team without Deng Deng. Just my opinion and I'm probably wrong
MD, do you remember the sites that indicated he was leaving? Someone posted some time ago that Deng Deng may not be eligible for his senior year because of age. He's a junior now but that would make things interesting for that Region should he have to forgo his senior year. Don't know if there is any truth to that rumor but I remember someone asking the question on this blog.

Deng is at FW and will be under the age of 18 when he graduates in spring of 2024. Hope the people who are going around saying he's 21 feel good about slandering a minor. Btw, his little brother Marial isn't 18.

Last ten State Tournament finishes for Region 8.
22 - 8th
21 - 7th
2020 - N/A
19 - 7th
18 - 8th
17 - 7th
16 - 8th
15 - 6th
14 - 8th
13 - 3rd
12 - 8th
It's been 10 years since Region 8 has won on the first day of the state tournament. In the last 10 tournaments they've played in the last place game 8 times. That would be the biggest reason they get very little love IMO.
