Last month, I ended my rankings of college basketball's recruiting classes of 2012, and this month we start anew with the Class of 2013.

As the summer begins, the recruiting process picks up for these recruits. These next few months will help to determine which schools become leaders on the shortlists of the best basketball players in the country.

Many will pick schools before their senior seasons begin, which is why I will be posting updates every month to include the newest recruits.

With that, let's take a preliminary look at how the college basketball recruiting Class of 2013 is looking right now.
