In an effort to shine a brighter spotlight on Washington high school basketball players, we have launched our first-ever SBLive Boys Basketball Recruiting Rankings.
Our rankings are compiled by SBLive Basketball Analyst Dan Dickau based on observations and conversations with an extensive network of coaching and media sources across the country. The players have been evaluated through a college recruiting lens and analyzed in four categories: athleticism, ball skills, basketball IQ and upside.
Over the past several weeks we rolled out our Top 25 players in Washington. Coming next, we will take a look at the top players in each class.
