Recruiting News: Scout.com Class Of 2016 Top 75 Recruit Rankings Released

Scout.com updated and expanded their class of 2016 rankings. The previous rankings only had a top 50. A number of PC targets made the list.

Scout.com’s Evan Daniels talks about one PC target who made a move into the top 10:
