The Selection Process

VISIBILITY ...

If we don't see you or know who you are, we encourage you to make some noise. The Super16 All-Star Power Team has provided multiple avenues for athletes to be seen and noticed. We strive to gather all of the information possible to make sound selections in making this event one of the best in the country. 

1. ATTEND A COMBINE

There are multiple combines to evaluate talent. We have developed an evaluation process that will assist our evaluators in determining the best of the best. Any eligible athlete can attend as many combines as needed to impress our evaluators.

NOTE:

- Attending a combine (or more) increases your chance of being selected
- All S16 All-Stars are not selected from combines alone

​2. BASKETBALL GAMES

Whether its school ball or AAU ball, you may see a Super16 representative observing your game. Just like any athletic event, you never know who's watching. Our team of evaluators will be able to see team players, team leaders and those performing at a level above average.  You will be approached and possibly invited to a combine for further evaluation. 

3. CREDIBLE SOURCES

We have an intimate circle of credible coaches and colleagues that will provide information on "recommended" players. We investigate all leads and may invite them to a combine to see them compete in person. We will also view game-film and/or highlights to validate each recommendation. If no proof can be provided, we will move on to the next recommendation if they cannot attend a combine.

4. THE FINAL COMBINE

S16 ALL-STAR FINAL SELECTIONS:NO BIAS, NO FAVORITES, NO POPULARITY CONTEST

  1. Approx. 8-12 Evaluators will be given instruction to do their own rankings
  2. Each Evaluator will select who they believe are their top 25 players, ranking them 1-25. 
  3. All players that receive a rank between 1-25 will be added to our S16 All-Star ballot and tallied for final rankings at the end of the night. 

A player ranking #1 will receive 25 points (per eval)A player ranking #2 will receive 24 points etc ... etc. A player ranking #25 will receive 1 point.

The top 20 in each class will determine this year's Super16 All-Star Teams. *Although a majority of the athletes will be chosen from the combine, S16 still reserves the right to select athletes due to our SELECTION PROCESS.We will let you know who those athletes are the following morning.
