Highlight tape is heavily considered in the selection process but not always available. Many games were watched on stream throughout the season. The “Unofficial” tag was added in 2023 due to the Elite 33 lists coming from one person’s opinion. If you feel we missed a prospect, please do not hesitate to reach out. Please don’t blow up the social media post with negative comments as it is not a constructive process.
