PREPHOOPS Note:  Mr. Bolus has communicated to me that the college caliber for players was determined by his own personal observations along with communications with high school and college coaches.  A player's college caliber could change over the season and these changes will be reflected in future rankings.

PREPHOOPS Note:  Rick Bolus player rankings are based on college potential and players can move up or down in rankings over a period of time.
