Updated Class of 2024 Rankings – Top Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2023-24 season has reached its midway point and we've watched and followed enough of the action so far to do a Class of 2024 rankings update. Here's a look at the top stock risers in this iteration.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2055471' first='Tanner' last='Overby'], Lincoln </strong>- +63 (from #137 to #74)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We first spotted Overby during the summer as he was tearing things up during June ball and elite camps. Little did we know his undersized power game would translate to the high school season where he would be leading 6A in scoring at over 30 points per game. Clearly we initially ranked him too low and there's no question he can still continue to move up in the final rankings, but he's undoubtedly the highest stock riser in this update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1315364' first='Jonas' last='Spencer'], North Eugene </strong>- +47 (from #96 to #49)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>How Spencer projects to the college level as a multi-position defender is what led to his rankings rise. With his 6-foot-4 size he can guard guys both outside and in, and offensively he can do damage from multiple areas on the floor as well. This has led us to dub him a "Swiss Army Knife" and it's a moniker he's embraced his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1565738' first='Dax' last='Hanzlik'], Westside Christian </strong>- +41 (from 81 to #40)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another high-riser - both in the rankings and literally - is Hanzlik, whose natural athleticism fits in with college basketball's highest level. The skills of the senior have come along as well and he's taken on the reins of main man at Western Christian, especially offensively averaging over 22 points per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1457596' first='Ian' last='Prictor'], Mountain View </strong>- +34 (from #88 to #54)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like his older brother Tane, who when it was all and done became a D-II scholarship player, Prictor has certainly emerged as a legit big man. He's a potent force down on the block and has been piling up double-doubles for Mountain View on a regular basis this season as the team's secondary threat behind [player_tooltip player_id='1113084' first='Quincy' last='Townsend'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1495286' first='India' last='Mohiuddin'], North Eugene </strong>- +18 (from #126 to #108)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The transfer from Sheldon has fit right in with the Highlanders to the tune of becoming their leading scorer. The senior off guard has a bit of an unorthodox style but can really score in bunches, capable of getting hot from deep or getting out and finishing in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1383114' first='Evan' last='Heisler'], Lincoln </strong>- +15 (from #37 to #22)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a couple of years as a backup, it was expected that Heisler would emerge his senior year and he certainly has. The 6-foot-10 post has been tough down on the block but has also shown the ability to face up and knock down jumpers in Lincoln's high-low offense. There's no question he's emerged as a D-II if not potential D-I recruit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1507262' first='Aengus' last='Sutherland'], Lake Oswego </strong>- +14 (from #42 to #28)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Lake Oswego has had its struggles, Sutherland has accepted the role of main man and despite the target on his back from opposing defenses, has produced. The 6-foot-5 swingman has effectively used his athleticism and strength to overpower defenders on offense and defensively, showed his abilities during the Capitol City Classic in helping limit big man [player_tooltip player_id='1110567' first='Austin' last='Maurer'] in a win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
