Reason for the Ranking (Top 30)

<p>This month we introduce our updated Class of 2022 rankings!! Rankings are subjective and PrepHoops.com ranks purely upon potential and where the player will be at their basketball peak.  Production factors in only when helping prove the potential is greater or lesser.  Why did we rank these guys?  Why are they at this spot?  Take a look at five Class of 2022 prospects and learn a little about their reputation.</p> <p>Peruse the complete <a href="https://prephoops.com/tennessee/rankings/2022-rankings/">2022 rankings</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/d/1/4/6/11971185311926706097Gioppino_Basketball.svg.thumb.png" alt="Gioppino Basketball clip art" width="17" height="17" /><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: ’’comic sans ms’’, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">#26 [player_tooltip player_id="1008433" first="Eli" last="Rice"]</span></span></p> <p style="padding-left: 90px;">Versatile wing scorer capable of being the #2, #3, #4 scoring option at the high major level.  Motor can be unevenly utilized. Lefty scoring guard [player_tooltip player_id="1008433" first="Eli" last="Rice"] began his career quietly scoring gobs and gobs of points for Station Camp.  Four Division 1 teams offered Eli during the 2020 calendar year: Southeast Missouri, Murray State, North Carolina A&amp;T, VCU.  This offseason there was a brief interlude with Hamilton Heights Christian Academy, but you can now find Eli back in Hendersonville with Beech High School.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/d/1/4/6/11971185311926706097Gioppino_Basketball.svg.thumb.png" alt="Gioppino Basketball clip art" width="17" height="17" /><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: ’’comic sans ms’’, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">#27 [player_tooltip player_id="1018122" first="Jake" last="Dykstra"]</span></span></p> <p style="padding-left: 90px;">Much like his high school teammate [player_tooltip player_id="787686" first="Braeden" last="Moore"], Dykstra confidently slid down positional ladder through lower body training and countless drills.  [player_tooltip player_id="1018122" first="Jake" last="Dykstra"] was a little slowr for a guard his first two years of high school. He thrived as a small forward. Necessarily, the elite defender Jake matured and developed into a prototypical two-guard. Think Craig Ehlo but with elite defense. Dykstra knocked down 4-10 three-pointers in the State Semifinal Game win over Tipton-Rosemark.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/d/1/4/6/11971185311926706097Gioppino_Basketball.svg.thumb.png" alt="Gioppino Basketball clip art" width="17" height="17" /><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: ’’comic sans ms’’, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">#28 [player_tooltip player_id="996945" first="Presley" last="Patterson"]</span></span></p> <p style="padding-left: 90px;">Verbally committed to Vanderbilt. Patterson missed some of his summer season to injury, so it was difficult to get a recent eval on the proven shooter.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/d/1/4/6/11971185311926706097Gioppino_Basketball.svg.thumb.png" alt="Gioppino Basketball clip art" width="17" height="17" /><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: ’’comic sans ms’’, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">#29 [player_tooltip player_id="1018119" first="Evan" last="Shiflet"]</span></span></p> <p style="padding-left: 90px;">In the last year Evan really developed his handle, tightening it up significantly. He was never a poor dribbler, but now Shiflet is undeniably ready to play college point guard.  The defense continues to be next level, and he still projects as a lockdown perimeter defender.  Shiflet is a strong, physical guard that has proven a willingness to attack the lane and subsequently draw fouls.  In the State Semifinal Game win over Tipton-Rosemark, Shiflet managed 17 points, 5 assists, 2 blocks, and 3 steals.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.clker.com/cliparts/d/1/4/6/11971185311926706097Gioppino_Basketball.svg.thumb.png" alt="Gioppino Basketball clip art" width="17" height="17" /><span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: ’’comic sans ms’’, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">#30 [player_tooltip player_id="1297418" first="Isaiah" last="Regular"]</span></span></p> <p style="padding-left: 90px;">Expected to be a dominating starter for a deep Memphis Overton team this winter.</p> <p><em>Coach Rose has been tough on his senior forward, as he should be. Regular, a 6-foot-7 athletic forward, has all of the pieces to lead Overton to big things in 2021. In order for the Wolverines to have huge success this upcoming season, Regular will have to be one of the main reasons. He can block shots at the rim. Regular can put the basketball on the floor and make shots from the perimeter. He’s more impressive by how well he can communicate on both ends of the floor.  - Courtney Asher Smith</em></p> <p><em>Follow @AndrewForce8.</em></p>
