Rivals.com released a "tweaked" version of their class of 2009 recruiting rankings. Derek Elston remains at No. 96, while Maurice Creek has dropped eight spots to No. 144. IU targets Christian Watford and Roger Franklin have both jumped in the latest rankings: Watford up from No. 47 to 40, and Franklin up from No. 90 to 76.
Demetrius Walker, who early this summer was rumored to be IU's next commit, has dropped four positions to No. 90. Lawrence North big man Stephen Van Treese, meanwhile, has continued his plunge down the rankings, dropping from No. 121 to 133.
