Monitor the progress of these youngsters.
As usual, I want to make it clear that these 10 players might not be the best in the sophomore class right now. They might not be the best when it’s all said and done. They are, however, the best I’ve seen thus far. I think my track record is fairly decent at this point, so keep that in mind when you see them play. Also, remember they’re basically babies and their development is key if they hope to achieve even half of their potential. That said, I’m pretty sure you’ll be hearing a lot from this group in the future. As always, enjoy:
