We separated the class of 2015 and 2016; Took the top 49 players in the class of 2015 and the top 30 players in 2016, giving us 79 promising prospects. We DO NOT RANK FRESHMEN.
—
These players have been chosen out of 92 football teams in Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, and Polk County. Players are ranked at either their high school position or projected college position. TOP 49 PLAYERS IN THE CLASS OF 2015 AND THE TOP 30 PLAYERS IN THE CLASS OF 2016. Rankings will be adjusted prior to the 2014 Fall Football Season.
Criteria
Game film evaluation: All prospects are evaluated using as much film as possible.
Live game evaluation: While it is pretty much impossible for us to see every potential prospect in person, just about every highly ranked prospect will be seen at least one time.
Combines and camps: Our Ignite Elite Showcase and E7 Training Camps gives us an opportunity to get accurate measurements on height, weight, speed, vertical, etc on potential prospects. It also provides us a chance to how these prospects compete against other top prospects.
Right Now: We evaluate how good a player is currently. It is very hard projecting how good a player is going to perform at college level based on his current measurables and skill set.
We are evaluating players as potential college prospects. Not good high school football players. Measurables, skill set, explosiveness, speed, impact. Not necessarily because his 2012 season statistics.
We do not use any other publications rankings as a resource for ours. A players ranking in another publication has no influence on whether a players is ranked in our ranked below. The amount of verbal offers has no effect AT ALL on a players ranking.
