2018 Florida Player Rankings Update
Jake Perper
In this article:
While we were working on updating our class rankings here in the state of Florida, one of the top guys in the junior class decided to make a move.
Montverde forward R.J. Barrett moved up from a 2019 prospect to 2018 in a reclass move this week. It was a suspected move as he will still be able to graduate academically in that time frame.
With that in mind, our new 2018 player rankings were different before Barrett's move.
Here's the link to the new rankings.
Now, a breakdown.
---Elijah Weaver holds down the No. 1 overall spot while Emmitt Williams moves to No. 2. R.J. Barrett slides in at No. 3 now that he has moved up a class.
---Weaver and Williams are established guys in the 2018 Florida class, both serving as experienced vocal leaders. Barrett may have the higher ceiling, but this ranking is based on experience and what has been done so far in high school ball.
---Anfernee Simons moves up to No. 4 while Lugentz Dort is at No. 5 and Silvio De Sousa ranks No. 6 overall.
---Emmanuel Dowuona makes a big jump up from No. 18 to No. 9.
---Angel Smith moves up from No. 68 to No. 50. Also, Jaxson Strates lands at No. 86 and Immanuel Crump is now at No. 99.
