Player ranking FAQ

Q: Who selects the players on the list?
A:
Our player rankings are compiled by a staff of 10 people, including members of the basketball media and high school coaches from all levels. We also have at least one member from the northern, southern, central and metro areas of the state.

Q: How much does this list change from week to week?
A:
Changes will occur frequently. Players can move or moved down once they are observed and reported on by one of or many experts.

Q: What are the rankings based upon, high school prowess or college potential?
A:
These rankings are based solely on the recommendations on the players prospect ability at the COLLEGE level. The accomplishments of the high school career is not the main core factor of determining where they are ranked or listed.

A:
The Breakdown has one of the largest distributions of college contacts in Minnesota. Our fall publications get sent to over 400 colleges across the country.
