by Leave a Comment

The Nothing But Net Magazine staff took in all the sessions of the 2022 Pangos All-Midwest Frosh/Soph Camp at The Park District (La Grange, Ill.) this past weekend and broke down its notes and evaluations to rank the top thirty players in attendance. HOOP SCOOP publisher and Ballislife.com Editor Ronnie Flores was not in attendance.

The following rankings are based on evaluations of all 230 campers from all the sessions, not just the two Cream of the Crop All-Star Games. The following rankings are based on performance at the camp only, not on performance combined with previous honors, national or state player rankings. They are also ranked with actual performance in mind, not a player’s potential as a college prospect. Some players did not participate in every session of the camp and in some instances that altered the rankings.
