It's a list of the top 44 prep prospects in Tennessee listed in alphabetical order. It has their name, position, height/weight and school. Thanks to all of you that have helped with compiling the list and to those who have ordered the magazine. We may try ranking them next year. I'd have to get more information to do that though. I don't want to just haphazzardly rank a bunch of players. I'll consult CoachT and get some ideas from him. Don

Thanks for the comments. I'm sure there are some other good players that should be on the list but who do we take off? Also, I made an error with Golden Tate's name in the magazine. He's probably one the top prospects in the state and I screw his name up. I will personally call him and apologize to him. Don Yates VandyMania the Magazine!
