"The Eli hate be real," a fan wrote.
"I agree that Acuff should be at no. 1, but there ain't no way Cayden is 4th and Ellis is 10th??? Gotta be a joke. Booze should be 2nd and Eli is easily top 5, if not top 3. Who made this list lol," a fan wrote.
"Elit 10 spots too low," one wrote.
"Eli should at least be 6," one wrote.

More hoops fans joined to give their opinions.

"It's the rankings ... People fail to understand that there'll be some controversial opinions. However, I trust the experts because it's their profession! You talk about pushing some players up, but that'd mean other players will go down the rankings too! Of course there's gonna be some arguments here, but I believe the players are ranked at the appropriate spot," one wrote.
"Darius should flip to Michigan. Arkansas is mid, coach Cal washed," another fan wrote.
"Acuff will flip to Michigan," a fan wrote.
