Someone suggested last week that we do a Super 11 for each classification. Given the response we got to the all-class Super 11 debate, that’s probably a good idea. Let’s keep the momentum going.

Below are my rankings of the best 11 players in Classes AAAAA and AAAA. These aren’t official AJC rankings, just my own. And while I took the job seriously, I didn’t take three weeks to do it, so you might find me second-guessing myself. The rankings are based on all-state teams and recruiting rankings and comparing that to what I’ve seen and heard from coaches, sportswriters and fans.

Next week, we’ll spotlight Classes AAA-A so check back right here to debate my Super 11 picks and suggest your own. And the all-class Super 11 is still up for debate, too.
