New Additions to the 2024 Class – Eye Catchers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024 class has moved around quite a bit, alongside the addition of a dozen athletes across the state. Primarily featuring perimeter athletes, a few of these names should be on the radars of collegiate programs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='1764240' first='Hayden' last='Von Boeckman'] - Bruce Randolph</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boeckman plays with a poise and toughness you cannot teach. The 5'10 junior guard has began catching eyes this season, posting incredible numbers through his dominant season with Bruce Randolph. Through his junior season, Von Boeckman has posted 28.8 points and 2.8 rebounds per game while contributing 59% of his shot attempts. Although heralded for his shotmaking, the guard is certainly capable reading the floor for open shooters. Transition has been another area of dominance for the guard, proving all too quick for 3A opponents. Boeckman is a wiry strong guard who puts in equal effort on the defensive end, proving viable hunting for steals off of passing lanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='1764365' first='Dylan' last='Perkins'] - Stargate</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perkins provides a baseline for success with Stargate, providing excellent leadership and upside as a playmaker. The 6'1 combo guard is a capable downhill driver, both one on one or following an on-ball screen. Perkins prides himself on communication, directing defensive rotations and facilitating the team's positioning on both ends of the floor. Through his junior season with Stargate, Perkins has posted 18.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 3.3 steals per game. It should be noted that Perkins battles on the defensive end, proving sturdy versus both backcourt positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='1764308' first='Xavier' last='Davis'] - Pueblo Central</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An excellent two-way threat, Davis is steadily improving his decisionmaking and overall athleticism year by year. At roughly 6'4, Davis has become more powerful finishing plays, getting through contact with greater ease. Inside the paint, he has no fear getting up for blocks or rebounding opportunities. Through his season with 16-5 Pueblo Central, Davis has posted 14.6 points, 8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.8 blocks per game while knocking down 35% of three point attempts. Largely an under the radar prospect, Davis could be a diamond in the rough. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='1764306' first='Anderson' last='Brendle'] - Mullen</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of 6A's most potent perimeter shooters, Brendle has quickly emerged this season. Standing right around 6'2, Brendle typically gets to his shots off the catch, although he can flow into these off of movement. Best used as a weak side shotmaker, Brendle certainly gains a bit of space from point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1139980' first='Jordan' last='Leslie']. Through the shooting guard's junior season, he has posted 14.9 points and 3.7 rebounds per game while contributing 35% of three point attempts. Mullen will have one of the most dangerous offensive backcourts in that 2024 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='1648772' first='Quincy' last='Helsel'] - Mountain Range</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Helsel brings an offensive mindset, capable getting into his pull-up jumper for shot attempts. Standing right around 6'1, the guard has a smooth jumper that may be leveraged off the dribble. Through his season with Mountain Range, the junior guard has put up 6.1 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. Continuing to develop his passing vision off the bounce will be imperative to his success at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
