Magnolia Hoops Preseason

2020 Magnolia Team

Here is my list of the top players by class going into the 2019-20 season. It’s hard to do an actual ranking due to the fact of not being able to accurately evaluate every eligible player in the state. This list will show you where you might fall in your class in my opinion. I might be leaving some guys off the list that I’ve forgotten about. I tried to research as extensive as I could going back through all my archives. Some might be left off that I haven’t seen play yet or seen in a long time. Some that don’t make the list might think they are better than some players that are on here. Keep that confidence and go prove it. These are the ones that I’ve actually seen multiple times and these are the ones I’d want to roll with. Picking of these teams involves skill set, next level potential, past production and how they play. One player might not be better than someone left off but the one that makes the list might be the best defender, passer or rebounder in his class.

*****There is 10-15 more players that fall in the top 20 level range.*****
