High School Top 200 Basketball “Sneak Peek”

I am really enjoying the process right now of discovering the best talent in the country and trying to find those small school talents that no one looks at and Ranking them with the best. Through doing HS Top 200 Basketball it’s been fun finding the differences of how things are done with Basketball and how it matches up with 1st XV Rugby. I have said this before but Basketball is my favourite sport, then Rugby, then Football (American), League so on and so on. Doing my home work on Basketball in NZ has really put me in a space of interest with talent here in NZ and what High School Top 200 can do to help everyone be seen and take that next step to go “College Ball” in the States. I have to say that the way that Basketball is being played right now NZ has an even better shot at getting more players into the College system, it’s not about how tall you are it’s about hitting your shots in a nut shell.

I want to say again so that you’ll dont get confused, this is not the official Rankings they will be out in April but this is to show you the viewers, players and coaches where we are at and what the Rankings are looking like. I understand that a lot of you guys will not agree with it and that’s fine but if you think Im wrong Im happy to hear from you and why you think Im wrong I welcome it makes me learn more. Now if there are players that are not featured on this Rankings but you think they should you can get at me on my Facebook page and let me know cause Im always on the look out for new and undiscovered talent.
