New Rankings: The Top 10 of 2022

We are happy to introduce our Top 10 of 2022. These rankings as noted are based on college potential and not necessarily where the player is today. Our top 10 were voted on by our panel of nine college coaches from across the region. As noted previously in our rankings intro, not being on the list does not mean you won't have a successful collegiate career. Also being on the list doesn't mean a player will go on to be an All-American. These are thoughts and opinions based on live games, videos, notes, and statistics. Here are the top 10 with quotes from our panel.
