2024 Class Rankings Crosses 230 Prospects [FREE]
Nearly 30 prospects have joined the last 2024 class rankings update of the 2023 calendar year. The total prospects included count is 235 [subscription required to view the list]. Attrition from players stepping away from the game reduced what could have been well over 240 in number.
For the second consecutive year a top player leaving high school early to gray shirt opened the door to a new entry into the top 10. A season ago Maryn Archer left Derby early to enroll early at Arkansas. This year I wish the best of fortune to Olathe Northwest’s Skylar Pierce Skylar Pierce 6'1" | CG Olathe Northwest | 2024 KS as she moves on to University of Nebraska to pursue her volleyball career.
Of note, the number of 2024 prospects who have committed to play college basketball has grown substantially. At the September update that number was 14. 40 players are now known to have committed. Many more have committed in other sports. Upcoming articles will share news on new additions, players whose stock has risen, players still available, and more.
Many thanks go out to my colleagues Jeremy Deckard, Adrian Maloney, and PGH scouts from other states reporting on players they have seen. I also want to offer thanks to parents, fans, other media, coaches at a variety of levels, and especially the players for helping keep our knowledge level high. The news, photos, video, reports, game programs, and comments you shared have been immensely helpful. I spend countless hours catching games in person and online, studying highlights; reading reports; and communicating with a wide range of people to distill the information down to compile the extensive lists.
A couple last notes: Players out due to injury or illness are not removed from rankings while gray shirting players leaving for college early are.
