2024 Rankings: Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a long but productive spring and summer spent watching high school and club basketball games, it was time to put a fresh update on the class of 2024 rankings in Southern California. In this piece we break down the biggest stock risers in our latest update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 10 [player_tooltip player_id='1502796' first='Darnez' last='Slater']: Roosevelt, Cali Rebels</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Slater jumped up 12 spots and into the top 10 after a highly-successful spring and summer with his high school and club teams. While not the most flashy or explosive of prospects you'll see, the 6-foot-3 guard is as steady and solid as they come on both ends of the floor. His decision-making in the open court, consistent mid-range jumper and ability to defend on the perimeter are the traits that have him hearing from mid-major programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 13 [player_tooltip player_id='1502816' first='Jael' last='Martin']: Carlsbad, Cali Stars</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those in the know already knew what Martin was capable of and, if given the platform, his recruitment would blow up like it did. The 6-foot-8 forward jumped up to No. 13 from No. 36 due in large part to him making strides as a shooter off the catch. Martin has all the physical and athletic tools you look for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 18 [player_tooltip player_id='1643024' first='Tanner' last='Jones']: Campbell Hall</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones made one of the biggest jumps of any SoCal prospect and he can thank his offensive prowess and all-around high motor for that leap. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard is a strong, physical and explosive athlete who can get to the rim and finish through contact, stop and pop 15-footers and hit catch and shoot three's with consistency.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 23 [player_tooltip player_id='1502783' first='Kendyl' last='Sanders']: St. Bernard, Belmont Shore</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the summer went on, and the more Sanders expanded his game, the more we knew we'd have to put him in the top 25. Sanders, a 6-foot-6 forward, jumped from 30 to 23 and proved he can be a perimeter-oriented wing-type with his dribble-drive and finishing ability to go along with his face-up shooting from the mid and three-point ranges of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 43 [player_tooltip player_id='1817907' first='Amare' last='Campbell']: Etiwanda, Oakland Soldiers</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Campbell jumped 12 spots from 55 to 43 due to his solid efforts with the Oakland Soldiers on the EYBL circuit. The 6-foot guard is a big time energy guy, especially on the defensive end, and used his speed, strength and athleticism to push the pace in transition and get paint touches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
