Class or 2024 New Additions: Part II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>PICTURED: [player_tooltip player_id='2045018' first='Antonio' last='Ward'].</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior class rankings are ever-expanding. The following players are now making their @PrepHoopsTN ranking debut.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2087252' first='Tyler' last='Stacks'] - Hickman County</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stacks is a bit of a hidden gem. Unearthed by PrepHoopsTN during an AAU event in the spring. Stacks is a little stiff, though gives a lot of energy at 6-foot-5. He squeaks in the bottom of Top 200.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2045018' first='Antonio' last='Ward'] - Rockvale</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>@PrepHoopsTN Summer Combine participant. Ward earned MVP after a stellar camp. Antonio did everything with perfect intensity. His effort was unmatched. His skills are quite good, though not incredible. Good physicality. Gets to the basket with purpose and urgency.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1983742' first='Matthew' last='Sharpe']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good quickness. Matthew played his AAU summer with the [program_tooltip program_id='2078775' first='Tennessee' last='Tigers']. Sharpe is a guy that creates for himself. He did not play the lead guard too often, as the team was guard heavy. Handle is fine. Outside shooting is a concern. Sharpe is likely in that NAIA/NAIA+ range. Could get more solid from the weight room.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2058104' first='Cole' last='Pierpont'] </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2058104' first='Cole' last='Pierpont'] put up 23 points and 15 rebounds early last high school season against Clarksburg. His team plays in Class A, so the quality of opposing bigs is generally very poor. His season did wrap with 16.6 ppg and 7.5 all the same. Cole stands 6-foot-4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2084618' first='Darryl' last='Cotton']</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>@PrepHoopsTN Summer Combine participant. Darryl earned his way onto the All-Star team of the combine with sparkling offensive play. Cotton's first step was elite. He was both powerful and graceful with the slashing. Cotton was a captain last winter for Rockvale and returns with a strong senior class, including [player_tooltip player_id='2045018' first='Antonio' last='Ward'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2087243' first='Josiah' last='Rankhorn'] - Montgomery Central</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Josiah is the younger brother of Isaiah Rankhorn. Josiah is more of a power forward/center than Isaiah, who was a 2-3 at his best. Josiah can block the occasional shot and run the floor decently. He is not physically dominating down low. Good height. Long, active arms. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
