<p>While acknowledging that we haven't evaluated <em>every</em> player, we've likely evaluated more than most, and this list serves as a credible placeholder as we continue to organize and expand our database of prospects. It's essential to recognize that <em>any</em> list is dynamic and subject to change; and this one is sure to evolve during the next five years. Today, as the countdown commences with the players ranked from ten down to sixth in the nation, our team of scouts at Prep Hoops Next will continue to direct our attention toward the future!</p>
