<p>With two NCAA live periods over already, rising Sophomores have had the opportunity to play in front of college coaches for the first time since last July in most cases. Here’s a look at the biggest stock risers so far this spring.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1252217" first="Kaden" last="Magwood"], Western - Magwood has been mentioned with the top players in this class for years now and for good reason. The 6'3 combo guard is having a big spring with Mac Irvin Fire and earned a new offer from Western Kentucky last week to go along with the offer from Coastal Carolina that he's held for a few months now. Kaden is one of the most explosive guards in the class and has shown the ability to score the ball at all 3 levels.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1088829" first="Jayden" last="Miles"], Western - Miles, like his Western teammate Magwood, is playing with Mac Irvin Fire this spring and after taking his lumps early on in April, he has caught up to the speed of the game and earned his first D1 offer today as Western Illinois became the first school to offer the 6'8 forward. Not too far removed from knee surgery that cost him an entire season, it seems like Jayden is getting back to 100% and getting better all the time.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1110323" first="Vince" last="Dawson III"], Great Crossing - Tre has been one of the best 2025s on the UA Rise Circuit this spring as he has 4 games of 20+ points and a 35 point outing last weekend. At 6'5, Dawson can play on or off the ball and has great vision combined with his ability to see over defenders. When he gets to the midrange, Dawson is deadly and has "old man game" where he utilizes jab steps and pull ups to do most of his damage.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1320168" first="Cooper" last="Davenport"], Henderson County - Davenport was quietly one of the best freshmen in western Kentucky this season and has ridden that momentum into a strong April of AAU with a UA Rise team out of Nashville. Cooper has been a big time shooter for them, averaging double figures for the month of April. As he gets stronger, Davenport should be a better driver and be able to finish through contact better.</p>
