MCLA recruiting recap.

We didn’t see any of the 374 kids in Laxpower’s database play so we matched their name with their high school’s power ranking to create a ranking of incoming players. Then we factored in the college program. In other words, if a player went to a top high school and is going to a top MCLA program, chances are high their name will appear below. In some cases where we do know something a little more about the recruit, that knowledge was factored into the ranking.

This list is therefore purely speculation of the highest form.

This looks like a tournament we’d love to attend. If only because the art is incredible.

That also would not post.

Thanks a lot Facebook, for a special summer of service.
