136 sophomores ranked with 36 newcomers. We take a look at some of the top ones who came in this year.   <h2>Here are the top-10 newcomers: (All fall in the top-60) </h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='1225317' first='Jeremiah' last='Green'] AZ Compass Prep   A transfer by way of Texas. He already holds almost 10 D1 offers with most being the highest level. He was recently invited to the Team USA 17U National Training Camp, which is rare for only a rising soph. He is an explosive athlete who works best from elbow and in. He rises high on his pull-up or will dart to the rim and finish usually above the rim or around defenders with euros. He can hit the three and make plays.   [player_tooltip player_id='1223824' first='Alejandro' last='Aviles'] Dream City Christian   Another TX transfer is a skilled post player with an old school game. He has elite hands, advanced post footwork and skill to the three point line. He is extremely patient and works well with his back to the basket. He recently competed for Puerto Rico in the FIBA U16 Championship and held his own while averaging a double-double. He can make shots from the elbow consistently and he is a player that DCC can play through.   [player_tooltip player_id='1554501' first='Xavier' last='McLean'] Phhoenix Prep   A newcomer from Canada has size, skill, feel and athleticism. He can hit the three point shot, pull-up from mid-range and flush it down way above the rim on the break. He sees the court well and he will defend multiple positions.   [player_tooltip player_id='1449296' first='Majak' last='Thokbor'] Dream City Christian   A long, tall and skinny rim runner and shot blocker. He leaps up quickly to thunder down dunks high above the crowd. He grabs rebounds at its highest point and runs the floor like a deer.   [player_tooltip player_id='1482216' first='Christion' last='Fleming'] Gilbert (Pictured)   A good sized combo guard has feel and skill. He has a big wingspan to play the passing lanes and hits the three fairly consistently. He will make plays for his teammates and rebounds at a good clip for position. He will be one of the players the Tigers lean on this year.   [player_tooltip player_id='1449361' first='Caspian' last='Jones'] St. Mary's   A bigger sized forward with high skill and athleticism. He rebounds well in his area and takes good shots. He can shoot it comfortably from mid to the three point line and get out on the break. He will take much needed pressure off of Styles.   [player_tooltip player_id='1494967' first='Dylan' last='Novak'] American Leadership Academy-Gilbert North   A coaches son who knows how to play. The lefty has a pure stroke from mid to the three point line. He has a burst to get passed his defender and can spray the ball around with good timing on his passes. His skill and IQ pop off the page.   [player_tooltip player_id='1483890' first='Khalil' last='Lias'] Phhoenix Prep   A transfer by way of Hamilton HS has length, skill and a motor to defend. He can shoot the three with range and uses some shift to get to the basket. I can see him become a 3 and D type possibly down the road.   [player_tooltip player_id='1449362' first='Cassidee' last='Miles'] Poston Butte   A long lefty with great size and real strength. He loves attacking to the basket with a nice handle and uses his build to seemingly bounce off of defenders and score through contact. He can defend the 2-4 for his HS team and he should have a big year in 4A.   [player_tooltip player_id='1469392' first='Jeremiah' last='Jones'] Arizona College Prep   One of only four true centers in the class. He has college size already and he moves fluidly plus has some skill. He scores mostly in the paint but he will be most effective currently as a shot blocker and rebounder.
