RECRUIT SCOOP: VYPE Hot 100 for 2020 Version 2.0

With the early signing day a week away, it's time to release VYPE version 2.0 of our Hot 100 for 2020.

With so many talents in Houston, it's a challenge to put together such a list. It's so hard to decipher who will develop at the next level, who has peaked out, who made the right choice and who will be in transfer portal in a year.

This list tries to combine all of those unknowns. For instance, Katy's Jordan Patrick may be one of the Tigers greatest playmakers in school history, so how is he No. 87 on this list, while Tomball's (No. 6) Demond Demas, (No. 13) Shadow Creek's Xavian Alford and (No. 36) FB Bush LB Kenneth Phillips didn't even play their senior year.

We reached out to several of the uncommitted players, who have updated us on their favorites.

How about this? UTSA has six of the Top 100 verbally committed. Now, they are without a coach as Frank Wilson was let go. So many variables in this recruiting game, but take a look as we can "agree to disagree."
