2022 Rankings: Best Available Prospects, Part I

<h5>The 2022 class is beginning to find new homes at the next level, but there’s still plenty of talent with their recruitment wide open. Here’s a look at some of the best available 2022 prospects still on the board in the Top 100.</h5> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5>No. 2 [player_tooltip player_id="533518" first="Elijah" last="Jamison"], Liberty Heights</h5> <p>Jamison was originally committed to East Carolina but de-committed prior to the school year beginning. He’s one of the top scorers still on the board, after all, he’s ranked No. 2 in the 2022 class. He also held offers from Ole Miss, Elon, UNC-Wilmington and a few others before making his commitment. It will be interesting to see where he lands as the top point guard in the state still on the board.</p> <h5>No. 8 [player_tooltip player_id="574405" first="AJ" last="Smith"], Combine Academy</h5> <p>Smith is one of the more underappreciated names in the 2022 class, but he’s still the No. 8 prospect by our count. He’s a strong two-way wing that can knock down shots, defend and has a college-ready body already. He holds offers from USC-Upstate, St. Bonaventure, Tulsa, Rice, Elon, William &amp; Mary, Vanderbilt and others.</p> <h5>No. 9 [player_tooltip player_id="574457" first="Nathan" last="Brafford"], Rabun Gap School</h5> <p>Brafford returns looking to lead Rabun Gap in the NCISAA 4A level and is the No. 9 ranked prospect as a 6-foot-8 forward. He put up 22.8 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 2.8 apg, 2.4 bpg and 1.3 spg as a junior while shooting 52 percent from the field and 36 percent from 3-point range. He’s a versatile forward that can stretch the floor with his perimeter shooting and ability to operate off the bounce on offense and his ability to be a presence defensively. He holds offers from UNC-Greensboro, Western Carolina, Mercer, Rhode Island, Lehigh, Florida Gulf Coast, Stetson and North Florida.</p> <h5>No. 12 [player_tooltip player_id="577868" first="DJ" last="Nix"], Cannon School</h5> <p>Nix returns looking to make it three NCISAA 4A State titles in a row after winning last year’s title game over Carmel Christian, snapping their 18-game winning streak in the process. He’s a versatile wing at 6-foot-7 that can shoot the ball on all three levels and tied the record for second-most made 3-pointers (8) in a game at the Beach Ball Classic this past season. He’s a swingman with others from UNC-Greensboro, Wichita State, Washington State, App State, Boston College, College of Charleston and Houston Baptist.</p> <h5>No. 13 [player_tooltip player_id="787676" first="Daniel" last="Sanford"], JL Chambers</h5> <p>Sanford is set to lead the frontcourt attack for a talented JL Chambers squad and he’s quite the talented big man himself. He averaged 21.4 ppg, 9.9 rpg, 2.4 apg and 2.0 bpg in 2020-21. The 6-foot-8 forward has developed an all-around game but is a physical presence on the interior and attacks the rim with aggression. He holds offers from Tennessee, South Carolina, James Madison, Mercer, App State, USF, Charlotte, Winthrop and Western Carolina.</p> <h5>No. 15 [player_tooltip player_id="932088" first="Anthony" last="Sellars"], Quality Education Academy</h5> <p>Sellars is an underappreciated name that’s found his niche in the Quality Education Academy rotation. He’s a 6-foot-7 forward that can operate inside and out with his skill set. He’s gotten a lot stronger and become a lot more aggressive down low on both ends of the floor. He’ll be a prospect to keep eyes on as the No. 15 ranked prospect in the 2022 class. ODU, High Point and Tulsa are a few schools that have offered him.</p>
