Continue ReadingThe 26 class is solid and already has several players holding D1 offers when they’re only halfway through their freshman seasons. Here’s a breakdown of the top small forwards and shooting guards in the class. This does not include players who are in the top ten of the class overall.
Meagher slips down the rankings because he’s primarily playing freshman and JV for a Lexington Catholic squad that is loaded with upperclassmen this season. Max has all the physical abilities to step into a starting role as soon as he gets the opportunity. Look for him to hover in the 10-20 range in the rankings until next season when he could move up as high as top 5.
Cayson has been slowed by injury this season but still has a ton of potential and will be another weapon for a young and explosive Douglass team when he gets back on the court. Trae is bouncy and long and shows flashes of being an elite defender and big time two way player for the Broncos.
Rawlings, like Meagher, slips in the rankings really only due to his lack of varsity PT. North Laurel has a veteran roster and Jordan is having to wait his turn but he has recently started getting some playing time and earning a role as a reserve on varsity. Look for him to move back up in the rankings over the next year or so.
King falls into the same category as Rawlings and Meagher as he’s not seeing much varsity time this season. Long term, Simon could be a very good prospect who is a mismatch for guards and bigs alike. For now, he needs to keep developing his skills and getting stronger to be ready when his opportunity comes.
Highlights
A hard nosed guard who has the capability of locking down opposing team’s best players, Eli is still settling into basketball after a deep football run. While he’s likely to see a lot of offers coming on the football field, Pietrowski has the potential to be a scholarship level player in basketball as well. Eli is big and physically mature with a great motor so he’s an above average rebounder. Keep an eye on him as a difference maker in the 13th region.
