South is well represented in Scout's Ultimate Top 100

Scout.com's basketball recruiting team decided to get all fancy on us and release the Ultimate Top 100. What is it? Well, it is a combined rankings system of all of the high school classes from 2014 to 2017.

Interesting concept. No one from the major recruiting services has done a collected rankings list before. So, the idea is interesting and unique. We applaud that.

The rankings, of course, are just opinions. But they also serve as a nice view into the national opinion of where and who the talent is. You can check out the entire list here.

Which players from the South made the cut? Of the top 100, 21 are from the South.
