Continuing to Evaluate and Update
While we were fortunate enough to have a full summer of AAU basketball and a June high school live period, we still weren’t able to watch as many players as we wanted during the high school season so there’s still a lot of work to do on our ends to evaluate the most players we can. We hope that the high school season will go back to normal, and through events in the fall and beyond we will have a chance to continue to update and expand our rankings moving forward.
Tons of Versatility
With certain rankings you can see if the state is being dominated by one area, or heavy in one position, but this 2023 class has great versatility throughout the state. There are players from all of the area codes in the state in the top 15, along with every position in the top 10. While the 2023 class may just now getting the opportunities to be recruited and evaluated by college coaches, we expect this class to get recruited highly by programs at all levels and with players that can fit in a lot of different systems as well.
