NBE Class of 2011 Pre-Live Period Top 100
by Alex Schwartz
Big and exciting things are happening here at Northstar Basketball. What better way to fill you all in on that than in connection with class of 2011 rankings?
Northstar Basketball, after over two and half years as an independent website, has joined the NBE Sports network as a part of NBE Basketball Report. This site will still
remain intact and articles will still be posted here, both in entirety and as links to articles I have written for NBE and other sites too.
This new partnership will generate more content for both websites and will allow readers to have more coverage of more players and more events. Exact specifics are going to be developed over time, but the important part for all readers to know is that Northstar Basketball is now a part of NBE Sports. Hopefully you all like the changes and enjoy the things to come.
The first major partner effort between the two sites was on the Class of 2011 Pre-Live Period Top 100 rankings, which were posted on NBE Basketball Report last night. The rankings were formulated by myself and Jeff Borzello, one of the primary writers for NBE and also the founder/writer of March Madness All Season.
Without further ado, have a look at the top players in the crop of rising seniors from coast to coast. This is just the first of many big things to come from the Northstar Basketball/NBE Sports partnership!
