Rick Staudt

A South Florida native, Rick has been a passionate observer of prep level basketball in the Sunshine State since the late 1990s. He began as a contributor to FloridaHoops.com in its early years, and became the Florida Editor of the Hoop Scoop, a Recruiting Analyst for Prepstars.com, (both national publications) and a contributor to FlaVarsity.com, part of the Rivals network, in the early 2000s. Rick joined SourceHoops.com at its beginning in 2011 on an exclusive basis. In that time, he has produced unequaled content, such as his annual Travel Team Previews and yearly Florida Tournaments and Events Listing, which has proven to be an invaluable resource for their College Coach subscribers. A voting member and ballot reviewer for the Dairy Farmers’ Mr. Basketball Award, Rick also works directly with the Florida Association of Basketball Coaches (of which he is a member) to produce the annual All-State Teams for each classification as well as Independents. Rick routinely contributes to the Orlando Sentinel, and has written preview articles for the nationally respected City of Palms Classic program.
