COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: Class of 2019 Top 50
Like you saw with the release of our 2018 Top 50 prospects, this is all about promotion and getting those athletes out there who have made a huge impact.
As all of you know, there is no exact science to what we have done continuously for nearly a half century. The only key is to watch every player you rate – live – in game conditions.
While rating seniors has always been easier, because many have reached their growth potential at the high school level, underclassmen can be tricky. Growth is a huge factor. Youngsters tend to sprout up at 16 or 17 and changes their entire athletic future - immediately.
In addition to this list that comes out at the start and end of each season, we continue to promote and evaluate nearly 3,000 South Florida prospects – and over 6,000 statewide – each year.
The fact that we produce so many major college athletes in this area only points to a Top 50 not nearly being enough, but again, since we promote EVERY football player at EVERY school at EVERY level, we get a chance to continue promoting rather than making this some competition.
The fans love lists, and that is why we continue to author them. Remember, the 50 prospects that you are about to see are football players who have continued to produce – at camps, combines, spring football and into the season.
Enjoy this pre-season listing, and understand that we will re-rank when we watch more prospects live – and will continue putting EVERY South Florida football player out there.
