After months of poring over video and reports and (when possible) attending amateur games, I’ve compiled a list of what I consider the top 50 prospects of the 2011 Amateur Player Draft. Here are the top ten available talents. I’ll publish in-depth reports on each of these players over the next few days, followed by a complete top 50 list and mock draft this weekend. Check back here for all your 2011 Draft needs.
