2022 Rankings Breakdown: Newcomers

<p>Prep Hoops Virginia recently updated its class of <strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/virginia/rankings/2022-rankings/">2022 prospect rankings</a></strong>, and now it’s time to take a closer look. Here is a rundown of some newcomers who are featured in this recent update.</p> <p><strong>#7 | [player_tooltip player_id="1217447" first="Judah" last="Mintz"]</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1217447" first="Judah" last="Mintz"]</strong> is well known both locally and nationally. The former Gonzaga star has decided to transfer to Oak Hill for his senior season. Mintz was a key player on both ends for Team Durant throughout the spring. His ability to guard the opposing team’s best perimeter player is an integral factor to his team’s success. </p> <p><strong>#25 | [player_tooltip player_id="1217448" first="Anthony" last="Davis"]</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1217448" first="Anthony" last="Davis"]</strong> returns to Virginia after spending an extended period of time at school in Florida. He is a dynamic perimeter player who plays above the rim and gives maximum effort on every play. Miller School’s newest addition, Davis is likely to attract a host of division one eyes this weekend. </p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">#85 | [player_tooltip player_id="1217451" first="Ryan" last="Newell"]</strong></p> <p>At this time last year, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1217451" first="Ryan" last="Newell"]</strong> was virtually unknown. But playing behind <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/avery-ford/"><strong>an All-Met first-teamer</strong></a><strong> </strong>has helped him reach the level that he is currently playing at. Newell is a forceful paint presence. He can catch and finish, rebounds out of his area, and protects the rim. Centreville is an interesting bet to continue its successful run as Newell continues to improve.</p> <p><strong>#93 | [player_tooltip player_id="1217455" first="Jack" last="Vander Woude"]</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1217455" first="Jack" last="Vander Woude"]</strong> has probably been one of the most discussed players on this site in recent weeks. But its for a good reason. Vander Woude’s performance against Team Final will go down in the books. </p> <p><strong>#103 | [player_tooltip player_id="1217460" first="Lorenzo" last="Cole"]</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1217460" first="Lorenzo" last="Cole"]</strong> anchors the paint for a very good Nova Cavaliers Pacheco team. He’s quietly been an impactful player in the Wakefield program for a couple of years now. Cole gives his team a boost defensively because he is solid at the point of attack and is aggressive on the boards. </p> <p><strong>#115 | [player_tooltip player_id="1217463" first="James" last="Dapogny"]</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1217463" first="James" last="Dapogny"]</strong> is another newcomer who has been talked about quite a bit on this site recently. His versatility continues to stand out as he can find a number of ways to help his team win games. We’ve seen Dapogny pull down multiple rebounds and even hit multiple threes in a game. He is also been very productive at Falls Church and is poised to continue that trend during his senior season. </p>
