Updated 2024 Florida Prospects – Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A few weeks back we unveiled the updated Class of 2024 list of players throughout the state of Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While it's an ongoing process of adding, evaluating and ranking prospects throughout the Sunshine State, the job is something that we are doing 365 days a year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Because we have the opportunity to see many players live at events, we get the chance to list the players that many never saw or heard about. Getting every player listed is nice, but not realistic. There are over 15,000 players who compete each year in Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With that in mind, there are very few websites and social media outlets who do what we do – with posts and listing of prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A few days ago, we spotlighted some players from the updated 2024 rankings – and it was well received.
