The 2021 class in California is full of players that have already garnered national attention and many more that will soon follow suit. We felt this class could be special mid-way through the spring while the summer reassured us of that feeling. Many of these rising sophomores have gained valuable experience in the spring on their varsity teams and certainly during the summer circuit.

The summer season provided a lot of insight into players in the 2021 class as they head into fall/winter conditioning workouts and games where they'll continue to develop physically, as well as technically, in preparation for their sophomore seasons next spring. Our team of scouts have scoured the state for the top prep players in this class and have had multiple viewings on the players in our rankings. Many of these viewings came at our PBR events that have been held across the state.

Our scouts had many discussions to review our initial lists and make necessary adjustments based on what they saw last spring and this past summer. The overall list was presented, torn down, picked apart, recreated, torn down, and picked apart again before our scouts concluded on what we present here.

In the end, our scouts agree that our updated and expanded 2021 Top 50 Player Rankings accurately reflect the talent of the class in California.
