Many schools have the challenge of meeting lofty goals on the court while only recruiting from a very small applicant pool based on the admissions criteria of their school…but M.I.T. takes that task to another level. With perhaps the most rigorous academic requirements in the nation, finding players who can compete on the court and in the classroom is an extremely daunting task.

Why do you include prep school players in your rankings? That is the question we get perhaps more than any other. Our answer is always the same…because that’s what a college coach will do. You can bet that no college coach who recruits New England is going to ignore the prep schools.
