TOP 10 PLAYERS BY CLASS… P4 PLAYERS…AND MORE
Today I will give you a list of players. This list of players is based on what they have done. Potential is not factored in. What is factored in is how they are projected at the next level. Reputation, hype and where they play do not factor into who makes the list. I have personally watched hours of film of each and every single player on this list. There are always players that I may have missed because I have never seen them play. But truthly that is rare. Parents behavior in this list are not factored in. This based 100% based on a players performance. COLLEGE COACHES WOULD BE WISE TO DO BACKGROUD CHECKS ON ALL THE PLAYERS ON THIS LIST
