ESPN RISE today revealed the complete roster for the fourth annual Boost Mobile Elite 24 event, the nation’s premier elite high school boys basketball event for underclassmen. Featuring 24 of the top high school basketball players from across the nation, Boost Mobile Elite 24 players are selected by a committee of high school basketball experts: ESPN RISE Magazine, ESPN Scouts, Inc. and other leading talent evaluators.
