Summer Stock Risers: 2023 Class Part 1

<p>We’ve been through 3 weeks of high school summer ball and a month of AAU this summer and several players have seen their college stock make big leaps over that time. Here’s a look at the Juniors who have seen their stock go up over the last couple of months.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="932764" first="Kaleb" last="Glenn"], Male - You're probably wondering how the top ranked player in the class could be considered a stock riser but Glenn not only solidified his college stock but also showed he can compete against the best of the best with a strong 16u showing against the EYBL where he was third in 16u in rebounding and top 15 in scoring. Kaleb is an elite talent and his offer list supports that.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="932765" first="Reed" last="Sheppard"], North Laurel - Everyone in Kentucky was seemingly waiting for Reed to land an offer from UK and it finally came. Not due to peer pressure but because it was earned. Sheppard started all year for Midwest Basketball Club playing up a grade level on 17u and thrived. He not only scored in bunches, but he showed his IQ with smart defense and timely passing. Don't be surprised to see Reed as a top 25 player nationally soon.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1043600" first="George" last="Washington III"], CAL - GW3 went from no offers to high major offers in June and July and some scouting services have him as high as top 40 in America in the 2023 class. He was named a top performer at the 16u Peach Jam and has the John Lucas machine behind him as part of JL3 Elite AAU. Washington will have a lot on his shoulders to try and make CAL a region competitor this season in the 7th but he's capable of reaching that level.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="932768" first="Colin" last="Porter"], Ashland - Another player who went from no offers to a bunch really quickly, Porter showed the ability to score at a high level in June summer ball games with Ashland then spent July showing he can be a facilitator too as the starting point guard for a good EAB 17u team out of Tennessee. Colin has now started adding high mid major offers and could end up with high major offers before signing day in 2023.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="932769" first="Dallas" last="Roberts"], North Oldham - Dallas had a big July where he led his team to a 13-1 record and a big tournament championship in Louisville. Along the way, Roberts had a 34 point performance and was named a top performer for the Grassroots Showdown. Dallas has always shown an ability to score but his abilities to facilitate for teammates and showcasing elite ball handling earned him an offer from Georgetown College and put him on the radar for several D1 schools moving forward.</p>
