Top Newcomers in the 2024 rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While rankings remain to be the most popular piece of recruiting publications, they continue to serve a purpose to coaches, scouts and evaluators alike. It's easily the toughest job we do, but can also be the most rewarding, especially seeing new names and faces enter the list. While rankings might seem to be most polarizing, we shouldn't discount the hard work that the newcomers on the initial 2024 class list have put forth to get there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2208722"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"While Joy isn't a household name yet, he's done enough and has shown enough not only to us, but to college coaches as well to justify his entrance into the top 50.  Cole has the attention of a handful of D3's at the moment but could very well parlay that attention into D2 looks as well.  He has a school season coming up with one of WV's top programs.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1851970"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"One of our small school specialists, Barr has entered the rankings and for good reason.  His combination of size and skill make him more than marketable for college coaches as well as high value for his high school program.  Having a great state tournament performance in March, Barr left a lasting impression on evaluators and coaches alike who saw a combination of shooting skill and size from the wing, which is of high value at the next level.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2208742"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Boggs name has been recently mentioned by a handful of college coaches after some recent outstanding showings at elite/prospect camps.  He has a full skill set at 6'4u0022-6'5u0022 frame that has caught the eye of multiple coaches and put him the recruiting radar in WV.  Playing on a high school team which has boasted D2 u0026amp;
