<p>We are less than a month away from the release of the new player rankings. Although it has been a difficult season, I have been fortunate to see a ton of players. I’m especially happy to see a ton of new talent entering, helping to provide depth to the rankings. In this article, we take a look at a few new players that you should expect to see when the rankings are released. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1073975" first="Calvin" last="Schmeling"] <em>6’5 SG Clark 2021</em> - A true get it out the mud story. Schmeling is getting ready to go from unranked to relevant. It’s a testimony to the depth of talent that Coronado has, that Schmeling was unable to get on the floor last year. A high academic player, Schmeling contributes in a variety of ways when on the floor, including rebounding and defending multiple positions. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1088242" first="Ethan" last="Dong"] <em>6’7 PF Liberty 2022</em> - Dong is a throwback big-bodied post. I saw him up in Utah a few months ago and liked his low post defense and rebounding. Only a junior, he may have the opportunity to suit up for the Patriots in the future. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1123633" first="David" last="Estes"] <em>6’7 PF Basic 2022</em> - A stretch forward type. Estes loves to shoot the ball from the wings and top of the key. As he continues to develop his low post game, expect his stock to rise. As it is he will go from limited Varsity minutes to an appearance in the rankings. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1117033" first="Jacob" last="Fogo"] <em>5’9 PG Faith Lutheran 2022</em> - Enjoyed watching Fogo at a recent Cedar City event. He plays with good pace and confidence. One thing, I’m confident about, is Faith’s ability to develop talent, as he enters his junior season, Fogo has the opportunity to surprise some people with his play. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1105245" first="Kollin" last="Ngo"] <em>5’10 PG Boulder City 2023</em> (featured image) - During an interview with Boulder City coach John Balistere, he mentioned that he was picking up a transfer player from SLAM. Well, coach, you got a steal! Ngo has a tight handle and some wiggle to his game. The guard is good in transition and has shown the ability to finish well with either hand around the rim. He’ll instantly add depth to the 2023 class rankings. </p>
