How Ohio’s 2024/2025 class stacks up in national rankings sites

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a busy summer where many 2024 and 2025 prospects established themselves on the national stage, it's time to take a look and see where Ohio's top talent sits compared to the other national scouting services. Note: Both Damarius Owens and [player_tooltip player_id='1106044' first='Caleb' last='Middleton'] have recently transferred to Western Reserve Academy in Ohio and have not been scouted by Prep Hoops Ohio, for the purpose of this article they will be treated as out of state prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_632375c587bf9","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1222347"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Prep Hoops Ohio rank: 1rnrn247: 137th nationally, third in OhiornrnRivals: 120th nationally, second in OhiornrnESPN: Not rankedrnrnON3: Not rankedrnrnThe Circuit: Not rankedrnrnBurgess is in my opinion a clear top 50-75 prospect in the nation. After being the second most efficient scorer in Adidas 3SSB 16 U play, Burgess has racked up over a dozen high major offers. Burgess has been in the top 4 of Prep Hoops Ohio's rankings since they came out for the class of 2024 and it mystifies me how he's not ranked top 100 by any national scouting website.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1222348"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Prep Hoops Ohio rank: 2rnrn247: 98th nationally, second in OhiornrnRivals: 43rd nationally, first in OhiornrnESPN: Not rankedrnrnON3: 44th nationally, first in OhiornrnThe Circuit: 52nd nationally, first in OhiornrnPowell is a prospect who made a leap from the 4-6 range to third before [player_tooltip player_id='1222345' first='Tyler' last='McKinley'] transferred out of state and took over the second spot in our rankings.
