Preview: Recruits Projected To Heat Up..

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are headed into the mid-season of the fall 2023 season. This is a great time to preview recruits brought to our attention from our last rankings update and early fall breakout consistent performances that should be noted. We project these recruits will see an increase of recruitment activity during or following their 2023 fall season and likely into the spring 2024 evaluation period. These recruits have all been recently ranked in our class of 2025 in the top 100 in the New England Region. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["734798"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"WILL SMITH Tabor Academy C/O 2025  | 6'5 300 lbs, | IOL | Wingspan 82” | GPA 4.0 | 647-723-5454rnrnu003cstrongu003e u003c/strongu003eHe has transferred from a Prep School in Connecticut to Tabor Academy in Massachusetts.
