It's a Rankings Wrap for 2023

With nationals taking place next month, we decided it’s time to put a bow on the class of 2023 in regard to the ranking updates. We have followed this class since their 15s seasons and they have accomplished so much and have memories they will carry for their entire lives. Keep following this week as we have additional articles concerning these rankings such as most significant moves, newest ranked, top 20 overviews, and more!

A couple of fo things to note. An athlete graduating early to head off to college in January did not affect their ranking because they didn’t play this club season. An athlete moving down in the rankings more times than not has to do with other players moving up. The rankings are a mix of current play, next-level potential, previous play (both high school and club), school class, club competition level, position, and other additional things that are taken into consideration.

Lastly, rankings are always subjective. Our attempt at conducting rankings does not dictate if anyone plays in college or how good they will be at the next level. There are players we rank who had phenomenal high school and club careers but will choose to hang up the smelly knee pads and shoes.

Here is a preview of what to expect when you look at the rankings.

The top 4 are the same led by state player of the year and Kentucky-bound Brooklyn DeLeye Brooklyn DeLeye 6'2" | OH Washburn Rural | 2023 State #30 Nation KS .
