<p>With the release of the updated 2020 rankings yesterday, there are plenty of new names and faces in addition to some big movers in the update. Here's a look at some of the players who went from unranked to ranked in the Junior rankings.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ben Carroll, Greenwood (37th Overall) - </strong>Sixteen points and 6 rebounds per game for the 6'7 forward earns him a spot inside the top 40 in the rankings. Carroll shows some positional versatility and ability to shoot the three. Coming in at 41% from long range, Carroll is a prospect to keep an eye on thanks to his size and skill level.</li>
<li><strong>Sebian Dillard, St. Xavier (45th Overall) - </strong>The leading scorer for St. X, Dillard came on our radar halfway through this season. Dillard is a good athlete and slasher that is just good enough of a shooter to keep defenses honest. Sebian will be one of the best guards in the city of Louisville next season.</li>
<li><strong>Mason Rusch, Calvary Christian (54th Overall) - </strong>Mason plays at a small school against questionable competition but you cannot deny his ability to score the basketball. Already over 2,000 points for his high school career, Rusch is a volume scorer but could find a home at the college level with a small school who needs a scoring guard.</li>
<li><strong>Parker Rice, Butler County (76th Overall) - </strong>Scoring 17 points and grabbing 7 rebounds per game as a 6'6 wing forward is enough to at least get some interest as a potential college prospect. Butler County doesn't play the toughest schedule but Rice could be a big time mover in the rankings and in the eyes of coaches as he plays AAU this season.</li>
<li><strong>Tyler Maynard, Lawrence County (78th Overall) - </strong>21 points per game in the wide open offensive system that Lawrence County runs is good but his shooting number show Maynard isn't a product of system but also a really good scoring guard who is going to have some options to play at the next level.</li>
