PD Class of 2025 National Recruiting Rankings #11-#20

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Dig released their Class of 2025 National Rankings last week and with that comes recruiting class rankings.&nbsp; What programs are making waves in the recruiting world?&nbsp; Who is getting a steal?&nbsp; What programs are bringing in large classes? We have all the details with #1 – #50 in the Class of 2025 recruiting classes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>How are these determined?&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is no science, there is no formula, it's a gray area.&nbsp; Do we look at the entire class or just the top one or two in the class?&nbsp; Do we value the immediate impact they will have as freshmen or do we look at what they could do in their entire year?&nbsp; What about the combination of players coming in along with the players they already have?&nbsp; What's the answer?&nbsp; A little bit of all of the above.&nbsp; These recruiting rankings will be based on the level of players coming in and what they can collectively do as a class.&nbsp; Some classes have two coming, others four or five (some more).&nbsp; There are some classes that are small, but could have an immediate impact.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#11 -
