<p>In this July update Premer of Great Bend reclaimed the <em>No. 1</em> overall ranking. He truly is the best all-around athlete in this class, and his play on the hardwood and the diamond can back that up. Premer is an exciting player to watch, and <em>Notre Dame's</em> coaching staff should be jumping for joy that they landed a commitment from him. </p>
