After the recent rankings update, many new players were added to the rankings. In this article we’ll take a look at the top guards that were added in the final update. [player_tooltip player_id="1395686" first="Tyriq" last="Ivory"], 5’11 PG Warren G Harding 2022: Ivory is a two-sport stud as he excels on both the gridiron and the hardwood for the Raiders. His football athleticism comes through when you watch him on the basketball court with his incredible quickness and strength to finish around the basket. Not an explosive leaper, but Ivory is so shifty and never gets moved off his spot when he’s attacking. Ivory is an inconsistent shooter but showed flashes this season with his jumper. [player_tooltip player_id="1392311" first="Camden" last="Horning"], 6’1 CG Uniontown Lake 2022: Horning had a great season for Lake as the Blue Streaks had a surprise season in the Federal League. Horning showed out in the one game I caught during his senior season against Buchtel in the play-by-play classic. I was impressed with his decision making with the ball in his hands and his off-ball movement. I think Division III programs should be taking a look at Horning as a prospect who can play either guard position. [player_tooltip player_id="1395684" first="Reico" last="Coulter"], 5’10 PG Washington Court House 2022: Coulter comes from an area of the state that’s commonly overlooked by many, but his talent is clear when you watch him. Coulter is a talented scorer who just finds ways to get buckets. Coulter brought toughness and quickness which allowed him to finish as one of the top scorers in the southeast district. After waiting his turn at bigger schools, Coulter showed his talent as a senior by playing a lead role for the Blue Lions. [player_tooltip player_id="1368781" first="Darian" last="Leslie"], 6’1 SG Dayton Dunbar 2022: Leslie was a prospect who consistently gave solid efforts from the wing guard position for Dayton Dunbar. Leslie is a score first prospect who showed the ability to shoot the ball from the outside and is a solid transition athlete. Playing next to the Allen brothers and freshman Brandon Hatcher, Dunbar played a fun style of play and Leslie shined when the game sped up. [player_tooltip player_id="1398751" first="Duane" last="Davis"], 5’10 PG Groveport-Madison 2022: Davis had a breakout senior season where he improved his PPG numbers from 7.9 to 12.3. Davis found his most success slashing to the basket and finished the season on a tear with a career-high 25 points in his final high school game against Reynoldsburg. Davis scored in double figures in eight of his last nine games of the season and has received interest from multiple Division III programs in Ohio.
