A look back at how Tennessee High School players have been ranked among the nations best. I thought it would be fun to go back through the archives of some of the top recruiting services, namely HoopScoop and Bob Gibbon's All-Star Sports since they have been around the longest and since I do work for both , and see how the prep players from Tennessee have been ranked over the years. The archives go back to 1983 and finish in 2005. I compiled the list and approximate ranking for each player from each year. This was quite an undertaking but I thought it would be fun to see who made it and who was highly thought of and did not make it for one reason or another. I found it interesting that some guys were extremely highly thought of and never panned out and other barely made the Top 100 and are playing in the league. I only took players ranked from 1-100 depending on the year, some only went to 50 and listed them accordingly.I listed the High School if available or if I knew it myself. 1983 Tyrus Baynham-Nashville (#42) William Bedford-Memphis (#50) Mike Carpenter-Knoxville Farragut (#72) Fred Jenkins-Columbia Central (#96) 1984 Richard Madison-Memphis Northside (#8) 1985 Doug Roth-Knoxville Karns (#21) Rod Watson-Memphis (#34) 1986 Sylvester Gray-Arlington Bolton (#7) Ron Huery-Memphis Whitehaven (#13) 1987 Elliott Perry-Memphis Treadwell (#25) 1988 Todd Day-Memphis Hamilton (#14) Ernest Smith-Memphis Whitehaven (#38) Roland Ware-Memphis Central (#73) 1989 Malcolm Mackey-Chattanooga Brainard (#21) Anthony Douglas-Memphis East (#31) Orlando Lightfoot-Chatanooga High (#53) Marcus Jones-Memphis Westwood (#59) Jarvis Stacy-Jefferson County (#62) Ronnie Robinson-Cookeville (#82) Carlos Groves-East Robertson (#93) 1990 Anfernee Hardaway-Memphis Treadwell (#9) Randy Carter-Memphis Central (#47) 1991 David Vaughn-White's Creek (#6) Chris Elliott-Memphis Central (#89) 1992 Tony Delk-Haywood County (#15) LaMarcus Golden-Memphis (#34) Stanley Caldwell-Union City (#83) 1993 Sylvester Ford-Memphis Fairley (#18) Cedric Henderson-Memphis East (#77) 1994 Lorenzen Wright-Memphis Booker T.
