Ep. 169 - Preseason 2023-24 FAB 50 Rankings Release Special!

On Episode 169 of Ballislife's "In The Paint Show", Chelsea Hopkins hosts a special ITP episode, the "2023-24 Preseason FAB 50 Rankings Release Show" to coincide with the release of the complete rankings on Ballislife.com.
Chelsea’s fellow ITP hosts, FAB 50 compiler Ronnie Flores and BIL associate editor Ani Umana, break down the preseason poll, talk "Teams on the Rise", "Teams on the Hot Seat", players to watch for 2023-24 and more!
Chelsea puts Ron and Ani under the gun about the big rule changes involving the elimination of the one-and-one foul shot, how teams get ranked, the bubble clubs that just missed and the big matchups to look forward to during the 2023-24 regular season.
Ron and Ani break down the nation's best high school teams in three segments: Teams 31-50 (those looking to maintain their ranking and win section/conference titles), Teams 16-30 (those with legitimate shots to win state titles and move into the Top 15 because of their size and/or depth) and Team 1-15 (the top FAB 50 title contenders with future D1 prospects coming off the bench and loaded schedules).
This episode is No. 4 of season six of the ITP Show and tips off our coverage of the 2023-24 high school basketball season around the country. This special episode compliments the detailed writeups of all 50 teams on the website, so make sure to tune into Episode 169 from start to finish!
