2021 Watch list - St. Louis Area Boys Basketball

While waiting to get more basketball scores in to my ranking algorithm, I wanted to take a look at the class of 2021, of which my grandson and his Larry Hughes Basketball Academy teammates, are part of.  It is quite an accomplishment for a freshman to make a varsity basketball team and I have compiled a list of sophomores that did play last year.

I ranked the players by their total points for the 2017-2018 season.  Take a look at the future stars of the St. Louis area high school basketball scene.  Yeah, there are great juniors and seniors but these are the up and comers.

I have added a few that did not play for their varsity teams but will have a significant impact this year, including Sekou Gasamma of De Smet.  Fun to watch these guys play.
