Western PA Fall Rankings: 2023 "Terrific 10"

While high school classes have been in full swing, on the basketball court many programs are preparing for Fall League games. Here at Prep Hoops PA, our updated 2023 rankings dropped on Monday and a variety of talented players are being covered this week. The staff at Prep Hoops Pennsylvania has diligently gathered information and worked extremely hard to develop an extraordinarily comprehensive list of over 500 high school basketball student-athletes. This group of seniors has the balance of talent to be the most heavily recruited group in a long time throughout the state. Many young men have been in constant communication with college coaches, while a large number of others are starting to garner collegiate attention as well.
