USA TODAY High School Sports has taken the final player rankings for the Class of 2016 from 247 Sports, ESPN, Rivals and Scout and averaged them to rank the top 100 players. A player who is not ranked by a particular service receives the maximum number for that service. For example, a player not ranked in the Rivals 150 would receive 150. The number would be 100 for ESPN, 247 for 247 Sports and 100 for Scout.

Most of the services do not include international players. Of note, Thon Maker from Orangeville Prep who has entered the NBA draft, was ranked No. 13 by 247 and No. 9 by Scout. Also, in some cases, players who reclassified to the Class of 2016 are included if they reclassified in time to be ranked by the recruiting services.
