COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Rankings Week is nearing a close here as we take a look at the updated 2017 class. A class known for its talented big men at the top, 2017 may not have the depth that the classes before them and after them have, but make no mistake, these seniors can play.  The class is led at the top by a terrific trio of Kaleb Wesson, Sterling Manley and BJ Duling. 

With that, we reintroduce our 2017 rankings. Grouping players into point guards, wing guards, wing forwards and centers, 270 Hoops has critically evaluated each player in the area, combining an analysis of production, play style, height and college projection to formulate the rankings.

Take a look at the complete rankings here. 

While there is not a Division I prospect in this class, there are plenty of intriguing options for college coaches at the Division II, III and NAIA levels.

Leading at the top is Whitehall's CJ Prater, who has been highly productive for the Rams since his freshman season. Prater is a lightning bolt at the point guard position that can get from point A to point B as quick as anyone. Leading Whitehall in scoring this year, Prater is putting up more than 20 points per game for the Rams.

Coming right behind Prater is Dublin Jerome's Zach Watson. A rising point guard prospect in this class, Watson has excelled this season as he has taken on the primary scoring load for the Celtics. With a quick first step and reliable jump shot, Watson will likely end up at a high academic program at the next level.

Behind Watson are several intriguing point guards who have all achieved great season, leading off with Briggs' Danny Corbett. Corbett has led the City League in scoring this season, while also becoming just the third player in Briggs program history to eclipse 1,000 career points.

Anthony Mills of Westerville South checks in behind Corbett, as the 6-foot-2 guard brings a blend of size, athleticism and scoring ability that make him an intriguing spot at the point guard position. Mills has been an integral part of Westerville South's success the last two seasons.

Rounding out the top five is Logan Elm's Ridge Young. A big-time bucket getter at the high school level, Young has done nothing but produce in his storied career at Logan Elm, as he in second among all scorers this season at 26 points per game.

Outside of the top five, there are plenty of quality lead guards including but not limited to, Northland's Brandon Waugh, St. Charles' Braden Budd, Reynoldsburg's KJ Walker, Grove City Christian's Matt Bailey, and many more.

Another position group with depth but no Division I talents, the wing guards in 2017 are solid. The man at the top of that list is Delaware's Will Yoakum, an athletic specimen on the wing who is signed to play at Division II powerhouse West Liberty. Yoakum is a wiry 6-foot-5 wing that can score in a variety of ways.

Behind Yoakum is one of the more intriguing prospects on this list in Lancaster's Jacob Arter. An athletic combo-guard who can make tough shots, Arter has been terrific for the last two seasons, putting up big numbers against elite competition in the OCC-Ohio. Arter should end up at the Division II level.

Behind Arter is Bloom-Carroll's Gavin Brown. With one of the prettiest shots in the area, Brown is a marksman from three with good size on the wing. Signed to Shawnee State, Brown has been so dangerous this year that most opponents have opted to face guarding him all game long.

Coming in at No. 4 is Newark's Jakim Murphy. As athletic as they come in this class, Murphy is a kid that has emerged as a senior, providing great minutes off the bench for Newark. Committed to Wilmington, Murphy's best basketball is still ahead of him.

Rounding out the top five is Jonathan Alder's Andrew Koenig. A quality scorer for the last three seasons, Koenig has been one of the most productive players in this class on the wing, as he has been a stronghold in the backcourt for Jonathan Alder. 

Outside of the top five, there are several quality players as Africentric's Landon Martin checks in at No. 6. Martin was a breakout player this season, averaging nearly 20 points per game before seeing his season come to an end due to a knee injury. Other quality wing guards include Grove City Christian's Brandon Baker, Thomas Worthington's Christian Carter, Heath's Denton Jacob and Worthington Christian's Jayden Turner, among many more.

With some Division I caliber talents, the wing forwards in 2017 are the second best position group behind the area's big-time centers. Leading off with Newark's BJ Duling, the 6-foot-7 forward has been as good as anyone this year in leading the Wildcats to a 19-1 record. Duling is an elite slasher and finisher, as he is a near impossible matchup at the high school level. Duling is signed to Kent State.

Right behind Duling is Groveport's Lony Francis. A kid that went from being cut as a freshman at Gahanna to becoming a premier player in the OCC, Francis is a high upside wing forward prospect who will have his college education paid for. Francis is the best defender we have seen against Duling, as he has the length, quickness and athleticism to defend both on the post and perimeter. 

At No. 3 is Westerville South's Antoine Smith. An above-average athlete that has turned into a dangerous perimeter shooting threat, Smith has turned in two solid years in a row for the Wildcats. Postgrad ball could be an option for Smith who has Division I potential.

At No. 4 is another player with high upside. Independence's Dibaji Walker is a prospect that has emerged out of thin air in the last year, as he has turned in a strong senior season for the Sixers. At 6-foot-6, Walker has terrific length and athleticism, in addition to having an NBA bloodline, as his father Samaki Walker spent 12 years playing at the highest level. You could see Walker potentially playing Division I basketball after a year of postgrad ball, as he is young for his grade. 

Rounding out the top five is St. Chalres' Tavon Brown. At 6-foot-8, Brown is a legitimate point forward, as he can nearly play every position on the floor. Signed to Hillsdale, Brown excelled this past summer on the AAU circuit, racking up several big-time Division II offers before settling in on Hillsdale. Brown has the potential to become a three-level scorer at the college level. 

Outside of the top five, there are quality pieces everywhere, including Walsh signee Reece Strohm of Reynoldsburg at No. 6, Grove City's Anthony Tyree, DeSales duo Abdul Kanu and Luke Hippler and Worthington Christian's Jay Joseph, among many others.

Let's get to the winner's circle now. A class with four Division I commits in the post, 2017 has some high-major flavor with Kaleb Wesson and Sterling Manley.

Wesson has gone from start to finish at No. 1 in the class, turning in an absolutely historic career at Westerville South, where he has a chance to end up as the program's all-time leading scorer. Wesson has been absolutely dominant this season, turning in two 40+ point games and leading Westerville South to another OCC title. Wesson is signed to play at Ohio State. 

At No. 2 is Manley, who is signed to North Carolina. At 6-foot-11, Manley offers elite length and shot-blocking ability, as he has a chance to end up being the best big man in this class in the next few years. Manley's recruitment skyrocketed this fall, as more than a dozen big-time programs threw their hat in the ring before the near 7-footer settled in on UNC.

At No. 3 is St. Charles' big man Nick Muszynski, who also stands at 6-foot-11. Signed to play at Belmont, Muszynski broke out as a prospect last season before refining his overall game and dominating for the most part as a senior. A seasoned post scorer who can step out and hit mid-range shots consistently, Muszynski has a bright future ahead of him.

While not a traditional center, Caden Sanchez of DeSales checks in at No. 4. A strong post scorer who stands at about 6-foot-8, Sanchez has been stellar in the last two seasons for the Stallions. Signed to play at High Point, Sanchez is one of the more reliable post players in the senior class.

Rounding out the top five is Wellington's 6-foot-9 big man Dustin Harder, who is signed to play at Division II Belmont Abbey. A little different from the four big men in front of him, Harder is more of a stretch forward who can knock down shots with consistency from the perimeter. With quality size and some upside remaining, Harder should be a productive college player.

Outside of the top five, there are several intriguing posts with size and skill including Bloom-Carroll's Matt Smith, Northland's Quentin Jones, Bishop Hartley's Grant Smith, Johnstown's Kyle Matoszkia, Thomas Worthington's Jake Montgomery and Marysville's Josh Daman, among others.
