The Top 65 Sophomore list is something that will change a great deal before all is said and done. A lot will play out over the spring and summer so expect to see a great deal movement over the next few months. Once again all rankings are based on who projects from the highest level on down, its not just about statistics. We would like you to inform us of who we missed, and why you would have them ranked. At this age kids are growing and developing at a rapid pace so we expect to see new faces all the time. All of these individuals will receive a select invite to all of our NEI/ Barton Combines starting in late March. We look forward to seeing everyone there, and want to congratulate all of the kids from the 2014 class on making the top 65.
