The year of the Sophomore in Nebraska high school Hoops.

This year’s Sophomore class of Nebraska prep basketball talent is the strongest, as far as numbers go, that I’ve seen in quite some time. I thought it would be worth mentioning the names of players you will enjoy watching on the hardwoods the next two years.
