Top 100 Post-Summer 2015 Prospects

Top 100 Post-Summer 2015 Prospects
(Based on Summer Performance)
 

There were quite a few players who just didn’t have a good showing in July for whatever reason.  In fact we know they are better players then their respective performances reflected.  The July period has a way of applying some unwanted pressures for some young athletes.  For instance Charles Matthews came-up lame for the Super Showcase in Louisville which as we know is down-the-road from Bluegrass Country, “hum”.  Jordan Ash, Jeremy Roscoe, Donovan Franklin, Zach West and Tyler Hall had spotty showings in the last week.
