Tennessee Player Rankings - 2018 Class
The high school season has completed, and the state champions have been crowned. The next step for a lot of high school players across the state will be the travel ball season with players representing their respective travel clubs.
NEB Media spent this past high school season traveling state-wide to watch the top Thanksgiving, Christmas, and post-season tournaments. In my opinion, It is safe to say that Tennessee is definitely one of the most talented states in the country when looked at from an overall perspective. With that being said, NEB Media will release the post-season player rankings prior to the start of the travel ball season.
NEB Media uses college level potential mixed with what an individual player accomplished during the high school season to formulate its player rankings. The 2018 class is a very talented, and deep class, with every player in the top 25 listed being a Division 1 player.
