The first 2020 Cal-Hi Sports Hot 100 for the 2019-20 school year is based on evaluations from this past summer’s NCAA viewing periods (which drastically changed in 2019 because of the NCAA bribery and corruption scandal) and non-viewing showcases since June. These rankings are based on college potential, not high school performance, although the baseline of where we begin with each prospect begins with high school basketball.
We’ll follow this report with our post-summer player rankings for the 2021 (Hot 100) and 2022 (Top 65) classes, in addition to introducing the Class of 2023 (Top 25). In the coming months, we’ll continue publishing our archived Hot 100s as part of the most comprehensive California state player rankings you’ll find on the Internet that you can sort through using the easy-to-use dropdown menu below.
In early 2020, we’ll also be rolling out more enhanced features on the Hot 100 players where you’ll be able to search through our vast profiles and evaluations. We’ll highlight California’s individual players — past, present, and future — better than it’s ever been done before.
The previous rankings in the 2020 post-summer Hot 100 refers to the player’s position in the previous list we published in late May 2019 right before the beginning of the summer viewing period in conjunction with the Hoop Scoop, our partner for boys basketball national player rankings.
