PREPHOOPS Note: Rick Bolus player rankings are based on college potential and are not meant to be an indicator for awards such as Mr. Basketball. 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.
