Spence and Co's 2024 Top 100 Breakdown and Positional Ratings

Top 100 Breakdown

The 5th Top 100 East Texas Players list was just as fun and difficult to make just like the previous 4. Out of all the players in ETX I looked at 583 guys who made first team all district, and graded 295 highlight tapes from those who made them. The highlight tapes had to be from this season. That left off a lot of quality D1 Signees: Lance Jackson PG, Tra Ball TH,  Micah Strickland Brownsboro, Jaidyn and DeJuan Johnson of New Diana, Johnathan Bush from Whitehouse, and Jon Denman from Palestine Westwood. 

Here's the complete breakdown of the Top 100.
