My Preseason Top 15 in the GTA

1. Mother Teresa
2. Eastern Commerce
3. Oakwood
4. West Hill
5. Pickering
6. Martingrove
7. Borden
8. Henry Carr
9. West Humber
10. Pine Ridge

Honourable Mention: Campion, Newtonbrook, D'Youville, St. Theresa, Notre Dame (Ajax)

Hard to rate some teams like Pickering who is losing everybody and Mother Teresa and Eastern because word on the street is that they are losing some big names too. Henry Carr is losing a lot too but they have the best junior team in Ontario moving up. I don't expect much from Oakwood, Martingrove, Campion, and West Hill. Borden???? Come on. My ratings are based on everybody coming back.
1. Mother Teresa- Big Mo and Ashton
2. Eastern- JP and Alwayne
3. Pickering- Cory and Jon
4. Henry Carr- no big names. just talent from top to bottom
5. d'youville
6. Martingrove
7. North Albion
8. Oakwood
9. West Hill
10. Father Goetz

D'youville isnt ranked that high I don't even think there the favourite to win tier 1 Peel Campion is the favourite to win peel

in ur opinion they may not be the favourite but they have key players coming back like cameron alvi..kemish edwards..akeem gardner...and jose garcia, if they play right they'll win peel easily

I would never post a top ten but I was very impressed by Oakwood at OFSSAA last year.

They are well-coached play team basketball and have two fine players in Jamie Asefa and Julian Clarke. Also they have Michael Ranger who is very strong. Is Kenneth Buchanan back too?

They will be up there with the best of them in my opinion.

i dont get why u think pickering will do so bad. devoe isnt their whole team. they still got lots of talent on that team. thats why they are the champs this year.

Pickering is definitely a solid team but, losing the scoring and leadership that comes with devoe is hard to replace, also the loss of corey joseph will also impact the team greatly, if they can adapt to this quickly i can see them being solid but on paper it seems they wont be near the championship level that they were at this year.

Okay they might win peel easily but Campion probably has key players coming back as well they probably are top 10 but not top 5

The problem for Pickering is that not only are they being hit very hard by graduation: Devoe, Dwayne, Justin, Juevol and possibly Jonathon Tull but also they are losing their two outstanding underclassmen in Cory Joseph and Jermaine Myers.

That is a devastating hit not only to next season but also to their future.

They have an excellent group of coaches in their program but they will have their work cut out for sure!

are cory and jermaine going to Prep (Pickering)?

Cory is looking at Findlay Prep in Las Vegas and Jermaine is going to an undisclosed school in Indiana.

1. Mother Teresa
2. Eastern Commerce
3. West Hilll
4. Pickering
5. Oakwood
6. Henry Carr
7. Pine Ridge
8. Martingrove
9. West Humber
10. Borden

I think that this years sleeper teams are Borden and West Humber. Borden has a few members from its outstanding junior team coming up(Kevon & Joseph), beat Vaughn Road in the city championshios, and remember they came 4th this year in OFSAA. West Humber should also be solid this year.
