We conclude our 2022-23 preseason FAB 50 National Team Rankings powered by Ballislife.com with an in-depth look at the nation\u2019s top 15 teams. We began with teams No. 31-50, continued with teams No. 16-30 and this is an in-depth look at the nation\u2019s 15 best teams. Montverde Academy of Florida is the nation\u2019s preseason No. 1 team for the eighth time as it seeks its seventh FAB 50 title in eleven seasons.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

All 50 teams are written up with explanations for why they are placed in these positions. Montverde Academy is in the pole position to begin the season for the eighth time, one short of the all-time FAB 50 era record of nine held by Oak Hill Academy of Virginia. Only twice has Montverde Academy finished lower than No. 1 when starting out No. 1. In 2019, the Eagles finished No. 4 after losing in the GEICO Nationals semifinals to eventual national champ IMG Academy and in 2022 they finished No. 2 after losing at the buzzer to eventual national champ Duncanville of Texas. Academy-type programs that are now part of the National Interscholastic Basketball Conference (NIBC) continue to dominate the FAB 50 while the COVID-19 Pandemic is not the main topic of discussion in the preseason for the first time in three years. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

2022-23 High School Basketball: The Future Has Arrived<\/strong>
As high school basketball moves past the grip COVID-19 had on the sport for three seasons, a new era for the sport is here. The pandemic fueled a migration of talented players away from traditional public and parochial schools that play for state titles to independent, academy-type programs with looser scheduling and practice time restrictions that were beneficial to many players during the pandemic. Many parents of D1 prospects felt that route was best for their sons and still do. During the pandemic, parents and players saw the formation of the National Interscholastic Basketball Conference (NIBC) and it continues to grow in scope and appeal. D1 prospects from all over the country know about the conference and aspire to play for one of them, or knock its member teams off if their own team gets a golden opportunity to. \u2028\u2028<\/p>\n
