July Live Period Preview: 60 Prospects to Watch
In this article:
The July Live period begins today and players from coast to coast will be participating in NCAA sanctioned events. This is the evaluation period for NCAA coaches, so many of them will be in attendance at these events to see preps from the highly-touted to the diamonds in the rough. During the last three months, I have seen a number of prospects that will be evaluated during this period. From that vast number, I have come up with a list of players to watch during the live period. Here is my list of the 60 players to watch during the July live period.
