11. Willie Cauley, 6-10, 215, Sr., Northwest (Olathe, Kan.)What to look for in 2011-12: Like Upshaw, Cauley sat out last year following a transfer. How is he preparing for his return to the court? By playing wide receiver for the Raven football team, naturally. Yes, at 6-10, Cauley is not just playing but dominating on the gridiron this fall, hauling in six TD passes in Northwest's first two games this season.

Meeks led a young West Charlotte team to North Carolina's 4A state title as a sophomore. The Lions will get a big test at the Chick-fil-A Classic in December.
13. Shaquille Cleare, 6-9, 285, Sr., The Village School (Houston, Texas)Committed to MarylandWhat to look for in 2011-12: Cleare certainly has the talent to warrant more love on this list, but is unlikely to make much noise at The Village School.
14. Daniel Ochefu, 6-9, 225, Sr., Westtown (Pa.)Committed to VillanovaWhat to look for in 2011-12: Thanks to Ochefu, Westtown will be a participant in some of the biggest showcase events and tournaments in the country, including the Chick-fil-A Classic in South Carolina.
15. Phillip Nolan, 6-10, 210, Sr., Riverside University (Milwaukee, Wis.)What to look for in 2011-12: Nolan was an early Christmas gift for Riverside, bolstering a team that went 23-3 and reached the state semifinals a year ago. The slender center transferred from independent power St. Benedict's Prep in New Jersey and is being pursued by the likes of Arizona, Baylor and Minnesota.
