A few weeks after the high school season ended, Westfield (Va.) 2013 guard CJ Hill was left scrambling when his lone scholarship offer – from Division II Adelphi (NY) – was taken by another player.

“I didn’t know where I was going to go,” Hill recalled. I thought I was going to end up going to a D-III college or, like, a prep school, just because I didn’t have anything at all. But I said, ‘You know what, I’m going to work hard for a good two weeks, see what Virginia Elite can do for me in this tournament, and probably go to Massanutten [Military] or something like that.’”

Q: WHO PUT THE RANKINGS TOGETHER?
A: Our DMVelite team of Edgar Walker, Erik Larson, and Marcus Helton put together these rankings. We started with a list of about 100 sophomores under consideration and began to narrow it down and order players. Through debate between the three of us and consultation with area coaches throughout the season, a consensus was reached.
