A very interesting result out of the Sunshine State today...
If there was a list of who is the new hot program looks like they're going debut quite high up the first Top 100 rankings release, @Palmbeachprep and @NextBball would have been #1 an #1A on that list.
And given the home court advantage adjustment, this outcome is a virtual tie in ranking math performance score.

The early-start teams are building a foundation for the 2026-27 rankings data.
We've already logged a couple of hundred game results, with thousands more to come...
Based on recent history, here's a few of the games that will likely be National Top 100 relevant
Vermont Academy is loaded with talent in the class of 2027 as the Wildcats look to be a formidable threat once again in AAA this upcoming season.

Florida is apparently attracting more than beach goers and amusement park enthusiasts... Their share of national class prep hoopsters is on the rise.
The early results out of the Big Boy FL prep teams appear to suggest they will have several basking in the warmth of the National Top 30
Just like the EPL, in our last post, @PrepBridgeport always being a nationally strong team, who always seems to "play anyone, anywhere, at anytime"... is so useful in our effort to calibrate the entire nation's top teams onto to a single rankings scale.
These @ElitePrepLeague teams are so good for our national rankings algorithm data for two reasons: 1. They're all good, so their results are always Top 100 relevant, 2. They cover such a wide geographic area, that when they return to their home regions and play nonEPL teams, they help connect-the-dots for all of those opponents...who in turn connect the dots with everyone that they play
Given the very high level of these teams...and importantly, the wide geographic range from where they all hail...
This event's game scores really help jump start the computer rankings math for each season.
It will still take us until mid December to get enough data points to get the whole nation calibrated onto one rankings scale, but this event really gets our process going.
College Coaches,
As you are likely aware, the annual National Prep Showcase in New Haven, CT on November 20-22 is the highest of level of talent showcase in the country during this time of year.
Below, we have links to the player profiles for each of the three days.

The 2026-27 rankings computer is officially plugged in.
But do note, it will be December before there's enough data points to calibrate performances from across the nation onto one scale.

The national contender artists,
formerly known as Putnam Science Academy, appear to have settled into their new digs...as they were overwhelmingly good and deep in their opener.
6’6 PG Chase Robertson is one of the best players in the 2027 class & he has a chance to be a pro! I do not throw that “pro” word out there like many others do.
His potential size, strength, athleticism, competitiveness and IQ puts him on another level amongst his peers!
