Indiana remarked in another thread about the depth of talent on the boys' side amongst 94-96 born. Since the last event of 2011 has been added (the first of 2012, the Casablanca Grade A, starts on Boxing Day) it's possible to work out the rankings for the start of 2012 (give or take a position, for the odd minor event left to drop off from 2011). This is how it looks for those in the top 150, if I've calculated correctly:
The boys do look a much stronger bunch at the moment, plus a few other 1996's on the way. With the girls i think we'll have to wait for the 97,98 and 99ers
They waited until the Mexican Grade A was over before starting 2012 rankings, altering some of the projected rankings, and allowing Myles Orton and Tom Hill to progress into the top 150 with results last week. 8 boys inside the top 100 is similar to 2008, though that was down entirely to those in their last year (1990s) whereas this time we have 3 with a couple of years left (Kyle, Luke and Evan)

And with Peter Ashley just outside the Top 100 at 117, with 3 years left.
