Thomas is a great long term investment for a college coach.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1431585"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Gilleylen could be on the verge of a breakout season.

The talent isn't only at the beginning of the rankings! The class of 2023 has some serious depth that shows in the high quality players as you go through the list. I'm going to give you 10 players to watch that are ranked after 200. These are all recruitable college talents.
