Continue ReadingIt doesn’t seem like that long ago since we updated our prospect rankings prior to the start of the Indiana High School Basketball season. Now, we awaiting the 114th Annual Boys Basketball State Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday, March 30th to put a bow on yet another excellent season. With the season coming to a close it marked time for us to once again update our Prep Hoops Indiana Prospect Rankings. This will be our final update for the Class of 2024 before they graduate and move on to the college level.
First off, as is always the case, these are PROSPECT rankings not PRODUCTION rankings. There will be players ranked in the Top 150 that just got into their varsity rotation as a senior while there are players on the watch list that have put up numbers since their freshman season. We are attempting to project to your college level, not what you are as an Indiana High School Basketball player. While you will find Class 1A players highly ranked, Class 4A players on the Watch List, rural kids ranked highly, etc. there is always the dilemma that not every situation is created equally. Just because you have had individual success at one school does not mean that would be replicated at other places. Also, winning matters. Generally speaking (but certainly not always the case) averaging 8.0 points per game for a state title contender translates better to the college level than averaging 18.0 points per game for a sub-.500 team. Obviously none of these examples are meant to refer to any specific player, but they simply are a look behind the curtain as to what all goes into this process. It is an inexact science without a clear answer to “how we do it” other than having six years of college coaching experience and well over a decade of scouting Indiana High School Basketball players.
Secondly, 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.
Especially now that your senior season is over, PLEASE use me as a resource. I am not a hype man or promotor so I’m not going to share your highlight video or mention you just because you ask, but I WILL always answer questions about how to navigate the recruiting process. One of my passions is helping YOU achieve your dreams of playing college basketball. You’ll NEVER be considered a bother to me by asking for advice or guidance because I know how daunting the process can be.
Now, without further ado, let’s dive on in to our updated Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2024 Prospect Rankings!
