It's been four months since we first unveiled our Best of New England prospect rankings. At the time, the high school season had just ended and we were turning the page to the grassroots portion of the basketball calendar.
Since then, Steve Hewitt and Ethan Fuller have been following the region's elite talent at AAU tournaments and prep showcases throughout the spring and summer. Their notebooks are jam-packed with new observations and thoughts on player development and rising names to know.

How are Steve and Ethan approaching their lists? They discussed some of the notable changes below.
