For the fourth year running (here\u2019s 2013\u2019s<\/a> wrap-up, 2014\u2019s<\/a> wrap-up, and 2015’s<\/a> wrap-up), we\u2019re going to keep an eye on \u201clocal\u201d draft prospects leading up to the 2016 amateur draft. \u00a0By \u201clocal\u201d I essentially mean anyone who hails from the DC\/MD\/VA areas plus anyone who is playing their college ball in the DC\/MD\/VA area.\u00a0 Because of the amount of text on the prep players I have this year, i’ve split the post up into Prep and college players.\u00a0 This post is months in the making, starting in May of 2015 when the various all-Area teams are announced and underclassmen are listed.<\/p>\n

The players are more or less listed in the rough order of their likely drafting: there’s 3-4 significant draft names to keep an eye one in particular (Rizzo, Lee, Agnos and Hess).\u00a0 Read on.<\/p>\n

(Post-publishing update<\/strong>: i’ve added in details\/corrected errors per feedback and comments; thanks for all the updates!)<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of DC\/MD\/VA Local Prep players<\/strong><\/span> who will be rising Seniors in 2016 worth mentioning.\u00a0 I’ve tried to organize these players in the order of their significance as a prospect, which (fairly or not) i’ve driven mostly from their participation in tourneys and showcases.<\/p>\n
