Last year this time we had 106 players to rank for the 2021 class.
We added 86 players to get the total to 192, which is the highest on the site since they started in 2015.
Players from out of state, post grad and previously undiscovered players are apart of the new 86.
This obviously means most players who were ranked last year saw their ranking drop.
Our goal at PrepHoopsAZ is to try and recognize anyone who may play college basketball.
We are trying to give them the proper exposure, especially in these crazy times with a virus still out there, forcing college coaches to only be allowed to read articles and watch film.
My advice to parents, especially in this particular senior class, is to get as much film on your son as possible. Once you properly make the film, email it out to schools that your son is interested in playing at.
We have to think outside the box with this class and go out of your way to gain some attention from college coaches.
We at PrepHoopsAZ try and help as much as we can, but it doesn’t hurt taking some initiative.
