Our first Top 100 Prospect video could only get through the Top 10 Prospects in 45 minutes. So we're back for Part II, and now, we're focused on everything other than the Top 10. Geoff Pontes, Carlos Collazo and JJ Cooper all pick multiple prospects they expect to break out in 2025, as well as looking at some prospects who got mixed reviews when we received feedback from industry sources. And they end with a look at some non-Top 100 Prospects who could rise into the rankings.
