Continue ReadingA few weeks back we unveiled the updated Class of 2024 list of players throughout the state of Florida.
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.
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.
With that in mind, there are very few websites and social media outlets who do what we do – with posts and listing of prospects.
A few days ago, we spotlighted some players from the updated 2024 rankings – and it was well received. Today, we bring you more talented young men to check out as well.
In the coming weeks – before the updated juniors (Class of 2025) are released, we will take the time to introduce you to some prospects that may not have been on the radar before.
With 11 colleges, 250 teams and thousands of athletes watched live this June and July, we have watched many new faces appear and completely change the way their recruitment is going.
