Inside The Class 2022 Rankings Top 5

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="674422" first="Koren" last="Johnson"] CG 6’3" Garfield High School</strong></p> <p>A Top 50 player nationally Koren is a bit of an undersized scoring guard who can really shoot it. Has a good feel for the game with great pace, and at times can handle the point guard position because of his good ball-handling ability and decent passing. Gets a lot done on the court production-wise. Defensively he is solid, he is athletic enough and big enough to defend either guard spot. An efficient shooter, Johnson knows how to get open and should be someone who finds a way to get buckets at the highest level of college basketball.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="674420" first="Tyler" last="Linhardt"] CF 6’7" Kings High School</strong></p> <p>There is a significant physical upside to Tyler with plenty of room to gain strength. A solid athlete at the wing with good size and decent length. Easily should be able to play both big three and small-ball four at the college level. Smooth stroke with the ability to hit threes off the catch and pull. More of a one- and two-dribble pull-up shooter than a slasher but has a quick first step and good touch around the basket. Has a multi-positional defensive upside. Adding foot speed and improving ball skills will take the game to the next level. A top 100 player nationally with High Major Talent. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="674438" first="Maleek" last="Arington"] PG 6’3" Auburn High School</strong></p> <p>Plays with surprising strength and explosive athleticism at 6-3. Regularly gets to the rim with crafty handle and size ups. Draws fouls at a high rate. Tremendous passer on the move or in open court situations. Good three-point shooter but has plenty of room for improvement. Creative finisher off the dribble. Rebounds well for his position and is a disruptive defender. As he grows as a leader, look for his stock to keep rising. High Major Talent.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="674428" first="Tre" last="Blassingame"] SG 6’6" Auburn High School</strong></p> <p>Has good size and length, and while he needs to get stronger, that will come in time. Right now, he’s at his best as a shooter, where his height and long arms allow him to shoot over nearly every defender. If a bigger player is on him, he is also athletic enough and a good enough ball-handler to go past them. A highly skilled prospect who can play anywhere on the perimeter. A hard worker who shows tremendous IQ on the court. Has the making of being an impact wing in the Pac 12. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="674421" first="Tyler" last="Mrus"] SF 6’7" Seattle Preparatory</strong></p> <p>Has good size on the wing with shooting range. Super athletic, but plays with strength and has body control. Dangerous three-point shooter when hot. Finishes well inside the arc. Is composed with the basketball. Solid handler and passer. Strong rebounder. Comes up with points off the glass. Excels at getting out in transition and running the lane. A positional defender with versatility defensively that will continue to get better.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
