Continue ReadingAfter a busy April and May on the Grassroots circuit followed by the month of June back with high school ball it is time to update our Prep Hoops Indiana Prospect Rankings. With this update we expanded the Class of 2025 Prospect Rankings to a Top 125 while our Watch List grew to over 175 additional names. Before diving into the release, let’s go over a few very important points as it comes to rankings.
First off, as is always the case, these are PROSPECT rankings not PRODUCTION rankings. That is even more true when ranking younger guys here in the Class of 2025. There will be players ranked very highly who have not made much of an impact at the varsity level while there will be Watch List players who had very productive seasons on varsity as freshmen and sophomores. Our job is to project what type of college prospect each player will be, not how productive they are of a player right now.
Secondly, with the younger classes, there will always be more movement because we become aware of more prospects or simply get a better evaluation. If you move down several spots it doesn’t mean you got worse or that you aren’t a very good prospect. It just means with more information, and many more names coming into the rankings, we had to readjust. A lot changes between your sophomore and junior year in high school and that is where these rankings obviously lie. We’ve learned a lot over the last year and these rankings attempt to reflect that.
Third, it is true, that rankings really don’t matter. I know that is a bit of cliche and I understand why they matter to players…that is why I spend countless hours evaluating prospects and then pour over all information time and time again to put out the most accurate ranking possible. I know it matters to YOU. However, they don’t matter much at all to the people who actually matter…college coaches. When a college coach asks me about a prospect they don’t look to see what he is ranked and I don’t look before I respond. Evaluations matter…rankings don’t.
Finally, I am always very transparent when it comes to rankings. My email address is coachbrandonramsey@gmail.com or you can find me on Twitter @BRamseyKSR. Reach out to me if you have any questions or if you would like to submit information to be considered at the next update. We do these 3-4 times a year because we know it is an inexact science. There will always be someone flying under-the-radar. However, we at Prep Hoops Indiana, do as good of a job as possible covering every single corner of the state and find good players from high-major Division I prospects to Division III prospects and everything in between.
Now, without further ado, let’s dive on in to our updated, and expanded, Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2025 Prospect Rankings!
