PGH New York: Rankings Overview
Prep Girls Hoops New York has officially launched, and we are excited to cover the numerous prospects across the state. One question we always get asked is, “how do the rankings work?” Since this is the first list compiling players from New York, I decided to choose 5-10 prospects per class who are regarded as premier players in the state. From watching the players in person, scrolling through social media and talking to coaches I tried to get a good sense of the landscape of the area just to get us started. The remaining players are on our “ Watchlist (WL), which indicates prospects we will keep an eye on this spring. As we continue to get out on the road and evaluate the talent, the list will expand and become more accurate. For example, PGH New England started with 25 per class, and now we have 200+ prospects ranked per class from ’23-’25.
Our goal is to watch as many athletes as possible to give them maximum exposure through our platform, and the rankings help to organize the prospects in one space. A rankings update is done every couple of months, so if a player did not make the list, there’s ample opportunity to find a spot on it as we move forward.
