1st Annual Sip Super 15
Here is the First Annual Sip Super 15. This new list or ranking is a composite ranking of the top 15 best players in the state regardless of class. This list is of players that will currently be playing in Mississippi this season. The composite is taken from three NCAA Certified Scouting Services that reside and specialize in Mississippi high school boys basketball. The three are as follows: Jeff Roberts of Magnolia Hoops, Lavel “Shoeman” Johnson of MS Hoop Report and Gerald Snider of Gerald Snider Recruiting Services. Each parties individual overall ranking will remain anonymous. The 3 rankings will be tabulated and then filtered to see who had the lowest composite score. In case of a tie, the player with the lowest rank of all 3 will be awarded the spot. It will be broken up into 3 teams of 5. Their individual rankings will be in parenthesis. Players that were not ranked in one list were assigned a value of 16.
