<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some hidden gems you'll find within Virginia's 2024 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1423731' first='Brenden' last='Ahlers'] | Osbourn (VA)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ahlers is 6'7" with a lot of upside. He brings ample value as a rim protector, floor spacer, and rebounder. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2119799' first='Bryce' last='Breeden'] | Madison County (VA)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Breeden is a sharpshooting 6'3" guard who won Player of the Year in his region and was named First-Team All-State. He averaged roughly 17 points and 6 rebounds while leading his team to a 22-win season and a district title. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1895358' first='Colby' last='Margenau'] | Potomac Falls (VA) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Margenau is a dynamic 6'6” forward who emerged as a versatile contributor for the Panthers last winter. Expectations will be heightened after his breakout season. Margenau still has a ways to go but seems keen on improving. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1259636' first='Peter' last='Mitchell'] | Potomac (VA)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mitchell is an athletic guard who seems to play with relentless energy. He impacts winning in multiple ways. Mitchell is effective as a scoring option but also rebounds his position and competes defensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1948390' first='Ben' last='Wesson'] | Albemarle (VA)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wesson is a 6'4” guard who is known as a knockdown shooter. He hit 80+ threes as a junior while shooting 40%+ percent from downtown. Wesson is not just typical deadeye. He is also a good athlete who will rebound and defend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Here are some hidden gems you'll find within Virginia's 2024 class.
