Big news from their rankings:  Anthony Davis moved to No. 1.  Michael Gilchrist dropped to No. 5.  Marquis Teague is at No. 6.  From Scout.com:  “We’ve got a change at the top of our individual rankings for the Class of 2011. Anthony Davis, the fastest-rising senior in the class, laid claim to the title. The big question is can hold onto it?  Davis’ meteoric rise to the top began in April and culminated when he was named the top overall prospect at the NBAPA Top 100 Camp in June. July was just as impressive and it was at the Peach Jam when Scout.com made the decision to change at the top.”
