Senior AIA Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep world has definitely taken off in the state and many of their top players are very highly thought of Nationally. I want to take a look at just <strong>AIA rankings </strong>only to see where the local stars are at for this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2

portal and so many extra bodies doing post grad years. Low D1 players are filling up NAIA, CC and D2's. D2's are going to D3's, so you have to be really really good to hoop in college now, but I wouldn't be surprised that this whole list will end up in college basketball somewhere. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are others too, who I didn't even mention with small school offers. The Preps have the most talent, not many will argue that, BUT the AIA still has talent---go look for yourself:)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
