Continue ReadingWith the possibility of losing the entire AAU season this year, I mentioned all 104 sophs ranked with my top-5’s series, but here are 24 sophomores that just missed of being ranked and will most likely the next go around!
Here are the last 8:
1. Luke Kearney Luke Kearney 6'7" | SF Bella Vista Prep | 2022 State AZ (Sandra Day O’Connor)
-A face-up 4 type has a chance to be their best player next season with his skill from mid to the 3.
2. Kyle Waters Kyle Waters 6'3" | SF Perry | 2022 State AZ (Red Mountain)
-Another player who will most likely be their best player. He does many things well from scoring to playing defense and making plays for others.
3. Carson Carpenter Carson Carpenter 5'9" | CG EVAC | 2022 State AZ (Heritage Maricopa)
-A highly skilled guard has a nice shot from mid-range and plays with no fear on the court.
4. Tanti Felli Tanti Felli 6'7" | PF Phoenix Country Day | 2022 State AZ (Phoenix Country Day)
-A longer forward who is good around the cup. Fairly unknown but shined in off season showcases.
5. Liam Burt Liam Burt 6'0" | SG Casteel | 2022 AZ (Casteel)
-A shifty scoring guard can shoot it from mid to the 3pt line. Should get some PT on varsity next year.
6. Stanley Mason (St. Mary’s)
-A natural scorer from mid to the 3pt line has good length and may find some varsity minutes to stretch the floor.
7. Kemp Van Es Kemp Van Es 6'1" | SG Phh Prep | 2022 State AZ (Phhoenix Prep)
-A standstill gunner can shoot it with consistency. He has stronger frame and will head over to the local prep team and fire away from deep.
8. Jacob Harding Jacob Harding 6'8" | C Estrella Foothills | 2022 State AZ (Estrella Foothills)
-A sturdy post is a very rugged player on the glass and grabs rebounds by the bunches.
Here are 7 others I need to further evaluate:
1. Ramel Lloyd, Jr. Ramel Lloyd, Jr. 6'6" | SF Sierra Canyon | 2022 #105 Nation CA-S (Dream City Christian)-A possible top-5 soph in the state just moved in from Cali and is already nationally ranked.
2. Cash Scott SG 6’0 (Shadow Mountain)-An athletic guard should make a leap for the Matadors.
3. Jaden Hager PG 5’8 (Casteel)-An undersized scorer with a nice game.
4. Josh Rodgers PG 5’11 (Horizon)-A slashing guard will help the Huskies next season.
5. Collin Hasenstab SG 6’0 (Sunnyslope)-An athletic guard who can score and defend.
6. Julian Riesgo PG 5’8 (Salpointe Catholic)-A quicker guard will fill the void of the graduating guards they are losing.
7. Peyton Smith SF 6’1 (Gila Ridge)-A wing who was their star 6th man. He can score and facilitate.
