Obviously, we have the most confidence in our evaluations of the players we’ve seen early, and have had the chance to follow the longest. There are no guarantees, but if you are seriously interested in the 2016 Under Armour All-America Game, get out to one of our events this Fall so we can start following you now. Keep in mind, the 2016 Under Armour All-America Game will feature 2017 graduates, along with our traditional slots for two underclassmen (2018 graduates).
