Recruit Dirt Basketball

We do understand that some of these schools are not Post-Graduate programs, however, these rankings consist of both High School and Post-Grad prep schools…

There are Prep School basketball teams are all around the country. Some of the best talent in the country are in these schools and the majority of the players go on to play Division 1. The coaching staffs of these teams have to be masters in recruiting to keep a roster full of talent.

The teams on our list for this season are all very talented. We took many things into consideration and have discussed these rankings with numerous scouts and sportswriters to come up with the best Pre-Season Top 10 ranking as possible.
