Prior to the season, there were 369 prospects ranked and now there have been 133 additions, bringing the total number to 502 players.
We want to rank as many kids as possible so first off college coaches can tap into our network and find kids they might not even know about. Also, having programs and kids feel included is important. All these kids play a role on their squads.

No. 1 – Moussa Diabate Moussa Diabate 6'10" | PF IMG Academy | 2021 State #22 Nation FL could possibly be part of the 2020 class (according to talks) if he decides to reclassify up. The 6’10” stretch forward can shoot, handle the ball and protect the rim. His energy is relentless. There is no wonder the likes of UF, FSU, Auburn, Maryland, Miami and Virginia Tech have offered.
No. 2 – Langston Love Langston Love 6'4" | SG Montverde Academy | 2021 State #31 Nation FL is a strong guard who doesn’t back down from anyone. He is going to battle his senior year and be a problem at the next level as he continues to further his game. Villanova, Wake Forest, Marquette, UCLA, Stanford and Oklahoma State are some of his top offers.
No. 3 – Deebo Coleman Deebo Coleman 6'6" | SG West Nassau | 2021 State #49 Nation FL is a long body who is athletic, crafty with the ball and a dangerous shooter. He can score at will. Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, FSU, Memphis, Oklahoma State, UF and Georgetown represent some of his top offers.
No. 4 – Ernest Ross Ernest Ross 6'9" | PF Santa Fe | 2021 State #57 Nation FL is a growing product who defends the rim, mixes it up as a slasher and is really hard to defend when knocking down the mid-range. He’s loaded with upside and has room to fill out his upper body. Xavier, UF, Virginia Tech and Oklahoma State are some of his top offers.
No. 5 – Alex Fudge Alex Fudge 6'8" | SF Lee | 2021 State #40 Nation FL continues to get better and better and is really fun to watch. The kid is long and can blow past you in a blink of an eye. His hops are through the roof along with his high IQ. Alabama, Texas, UF, Virginia Tech, USC, Oklahoma State and Iowa State are some of his top offers.
No. 6 – Ramses Melendez Ramses Melendez 6'7" | SF Central Pointe Christian | 2021 State #108 Nation FL is a riser and someone who transformed from a talented spot up shooter and ballhandler to a bonafide creator and attacker. He plays the game the right way with endless purpose and energy. Offers from UF, St. John’s, USF, Oklahoma State and FAU are out there.
No. 7 – Wesley Cardet Jr Wesley Cardet Jr 6'5" | SG West Oaks | 2021 State #117 Nation FL is a long point man who controls the floor and can toy with defenses with his stretch shooting ability. He has endless room to continue to get better which is scary. Alabama, Clemson, Miami, UF, USC and Dayton are some of his top offers.
No. 8 – Ryan Nembhard Ryan Nembhard 6'0" | PG Montverde Academy | 2021 State #131 Nation FL plays with a high IQ much like his older brother Andrew currently at UF. At 6’0″, he isn’t super intimidating but he’s crafty with the ball, can create for himself and is a jumper who can finish with dunks and finesse. Stanford, UF and Seton Hall have all offered.
No. 9 – Michael James Michael James 6'5" | SF Oak Ridge | 2021 State #113 Nation FL is a true alpha on the court and doesn’t back down from anyone. A strong and lengthy kid, he can shoot at a high clip, drive and kick and he wins a lot of 1-on-1 battles inside. Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Wake Forest and Hofstra are his top offers.
No. 10 – Josh Minott Josh Minott 6'9" | PF St. Andrew's | 2021 State #30 Nation FL is a bloomer who came on this summer and carried that over into a state title run with St. Andrew’s. A super bright kid, he is going to do wonders in or out of basketball. His length, jumper and finishing ability are all key attributes. Rice, Dayton, FGCU and FAU have all offered. He has just as much untapped potential as anyone on this list.
