As we continue looking at talented freshman in advance of our launching the 2018 Hot 100, we go to Northern California to spotlight a pair of players who have a strong chance to make the list.

Both of these players play for the same team, the Sorcerer – Williams 16U team which last summer tied for 5^th at the PGF 14U National Championship.

The duo have a lot in common: each was heavily recruiting early after strong showings at OnDeck events and verballed to major programs one to the Big 12 and the other to the SEC.

Here’s a closer look at the athletes who you’ll be hearing a lot about over the next few years!
