Six Tampa Bay players were represented in the 2013 ESPN 150 rankings released by ESPN Recruiting Nation earlier today. The release comes a few days after Big County Preps released its 2012 player rankings.
We thought it would be fun to look at three of the national recruiting sites’ rankings and compare the rank of Tampa players in each. In total, nine players are recognized.
Listed below are the 2013 Tampa area players represented on the ESPN 150, Rivals 250 and Top 247. Also accompanying the rankings are BCP player position rankings.
