We are in the process of updating our player rankings at vballrecruiter.com. We led with our initial player rankings back when we launched in March. After starting with the Class of 2023, we are continuing below with the Class of 2024. The free article is broken down into three parts. Part one features players whose rankings have changed since March. This includes players who have moved up from 3-stars to 4-stars and from 4-stars to 5-stars. The second part highlights players who have been added to the rankings who were not part of the initial list and now have a star ranking. The final part lists the remaining players who appear in our rankings. They are players who were already ranked and whose ranking did not change. While the article is free for all to view, we do not list the actual star rankings of any player. You’ll need a subscription in order to see those, plus gain access to everything we do from indoor, to beach, to boys. Let’s take a quick moment to share some background on the player rankings. We decided to use star rankings in similar fashion to the way they are used in sports like football and basketball. We went this route instead of using a numbered rankings system because we feel it’s easier to relate to and eliminates the minutiae of sorting through hundreds of players who are very similar in talent. For example, when releasing a list of top players from 1-100 there are only so many 5-star recruits. The football site 247Sports features just 32, 5-star recruits from each class. The Class of 2024 below contains 28 5-star recruits. The Class of 2024 has roughly 70 4-star recruits, while there are approximately 300 3-star recruits. Rather than debate the difference between a player being No. 17, No. 27 or No. 37, or No. 67, No. 77 or No. 87 we felt it was easier to relate to 3, 4 or 5-star rankings while also giving a more relatable context when it comes to recruiting classes. If a college program lands three 5-star recruits needless to say that’s an incredible class. Lastly, players are listed with the club they played for this past club season. We know some have made switches. Please email chris@vballrecruiter.com with any changes, corrections and/or updates. Club directors and club coaches are welcome to email with any players not appearing on the list who they feel should be considered for a star ranking.
