MaxPreps.com's initial Class of 2013 Top 100 will be released in August, but it's not too early to identify some of the players that could make the cut and will be on the radar this summer and beyond.
Here are some of the names that could appear at the top of the list in August;
Deonte Burton, Brewster Academy (Wolfeboro, N.H.): Flashed some serious potential with Wisconsin-based club squad Terry Porter Elite last summer and played a big role off the bench for a Brewster program that featured six Division I-bound seniors during the winter.
Aquille Carr, Patterson (Baltimore, Md.): It's going to be interesting to see how Carr is received by college programs as well as the various scouting and recruiting services. He has dominated the Baltimore high school school scene for the past two years and made waves on the travel circuit, but can the National Sophomore of the Year become a consensus blue-chipper at 5-foot-7?
Keith Frazier, Irving (Texas): Playing in one of Texas' most competitive large-school districts, the 6-4 guard was among the Dallas area's top scorers at 21.5 points per game.
Aaron Gordon, Archbishop Mitty (San Jose, Calif.): Brother of New Mexico forward Drew Gordon, elevated his game in a big way as a sophomore to lift Mitty to Division II state title.

Aaron and Andrew Harrison, Fort Bend Travis (Richmond, Texas): Aaron (13.5 points per game) was the scorer for the Tigers last season while Andrew (8.9 points and 5.0 assists per game) was the distributor. At 6-5, both possess plus size for the guard position and were dominant at times playing on the U17 level last summer for the Houston Defenders.
Kuran Iverson, Northwest Catholic (West Hartford, Conn.): Just scratching the surface of his potential, lean forward Led Indians to Connecticut's Class L title game by averaging 15.6 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.
Jabari Parker, Simeon (Chicago, Ill.): Son of former pro Sonny Parker will be the focus of Chicago high school basketball over the next two seasons after leading Simeon to back-to-back state titles as a freshman and sophomore.
Julius Randle, Prestonwood Christian (Plano, Texas): The 6-8 forward earned a spot on MaxPreps.com's Sophomore All-American Team after tallying over 24 points and 12 rebounds per game last season.
Chris Thomas, Westwind Prep Academy (Phoenix, Ariz.): Developing a bit of a reputation as a vagabond, Westwind is his third stop in two years of high school. But the Denver native did average nearly 35 points per game during a 10-game run at Princeton Day Academy (Lanham, Md.) last season.
