<ol start="7">

<em>(Up from 26)</em></strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Highlight athlete that is a blur in transition and plays above the rim. Very good all-around floor game. Stuffs stat sheets as a rebounder, passer and defender. Mainly a slasher but outside shot is getting better. Auburn has offered.</p>
<ol start="20">
<li><strong> 6-5 W [player_tooltip player_id="1204747" first="Shamarrie" last="Hugie"] – Beach<br />
<em>(Up from 33)</em></strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Flying under the radar since his arrival back to Georgia. Great frame that is wiry and strong. Can pack on more muscle. Scores from all three levels. Graceful getting to the rim. Good shooter that can create offense off the dribble. Gets on the glass and gets into passing lanes. Can guard 1-5. Blocks shots when challenged inside.</p>
<ol start="28">
<li><strong> 6-8 F [player_tooltip player_id="1020690" first="Brigham" last="Rogers"] – Blessed Trinity<br />

<p>30. <strong>5-8 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1131512" first="Authur" last="Johnson"] - Bowdon<br />
<em>(Up from 52)</em></strong></p>
<p>There aren’t many players in 2023 that can be as unguardable as AJ Johnson can be during stretches. The high volume shooter scores in bundles. He’s electric with the ball and has one of the best pull-up jumpers in Georgia regardless of classification. Johnson scores with either hand on floaters and has the ball on a string. The only reason why Johnson isn’t a household name by now is because he is in Class A-Public.</p>
<p>36.<strong style="font-size: 1rem;"> 6-4 W [player_tooltip player_id="873083" first="Mason" last="Etter"] – Etowah<br />
</strong><strong><em>(Up from 51)</em></strong></p>
<p>Picked up a Kennesaw State offer. Tough as nails. Sacrifices his body time and time again. Shoots well from mid-range and three-point line. Does the little things. Competitive rebounder and defender.<br />
<br />
42.<strong style="font-size: 1rem;"> 6-0 CG [player_tooltip player_id="1049234" first="Dante" last="Harrison"] – Campbell<br />
</strong><strong><em>(Up from 141)</em></strong></p>
<p>Emerged as one of the best scorers the 2023 class had to offer this summer. Great shooter that creates space off the bounce. Gets to his spots routinely. Microwave scorer. Can get downhill and use his body to avoid shot blockers. Quality rebounder for his size.</p>
