Julius Randle takes over top spot in new Rivals150

Posted Aug 28, 2012
There was a time when rankings were extremely important to Julius Randle. Newly minted as the top prospect in the Rivals150 for the class of 2013, the 6-foot-9, 240-pound senior from Plano (Texas) Prestonwood Christian still pays attention to the rankings - his goal was to be considered the top player in the country. As he's grown older, though, the versatile forward focuses more on the bigger picture - big-time college ball followed by the NBA - than rankings. (Rivals.com)
