2024 Spring Rankings Update – Looking at the Top 10

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the FINAL 2024 rankings update being published today, it's time to take a look at our final Top 10 list that includes a lot of mainstays, as well as a new name at the back end of the rankings. With 9 high major prospects, including a plethora of ACC and SEC commits, this North Carolina class is as loaded at the top as we've ever seen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top 8 players remain in the same spots as the winter update, with everyone continuing to perform at a high level for their respective HS teams. [player_tooltip player_id='1154560' first='Isaiah' last='Evans'] maintains the top spot, dropping 22 points last night to lead North Meck into a heavyweight quarterfinal clash with Myers Park on Friday. [player_tooltip player_id='2209419' first='Jayden' last='Quaintance'] is once again at 2, dominating in the low post with Word of God and looking to be an impact piece for Coach Cal and Kentucky next season. Rounding out the top three is Combine Academy [player_tooltip player_id='1131546' first='Rakease' last='Passmore'], who has been a force on the OTE circuit and ranked inside the top 50 nationally at 24/7 Sports.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the next five spots, a plethora of ACC and SEC guys make up this group. [player_tooltip player_id='1030010' first='Austin' last='Swartz'] stays at #4 as he put on some dazzling, high scoring performances in his last go-around with Cannon School this year. [player_tooltip player_id='1115509' first='Drake' last='Powell'], the hometown UNC commit, comes in at the fifth spot. At 6 and 7, Myers Park duo [player_tooltip player_id='1076350' first='Bishop' last='Boswell'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1180892' first='Sir' last='Mohammed'] slide in at those spots respectively. The two of them are playing great basketball at the right time as the Mustangs look to go back-to-back in the 4A classification. [player_tooltip player_id='1076334' first='Paul' last='McNeil'] clocks in at number 8 as he continues to lead Richmond to state title glory and then prepares for NC State next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1126297' first='Jayden' last='Harris'] is our first mover of the group, sliding up one spot to the 9th position in the rankings. Salisbury is a 2A quarterfinalist with a matchup with Randleman next, and Harris' 30.6 PPG is going to be vital for them to compete for a state title. [player_tooltip player_id='1076361' first='Ari' last='Fulton'] rounds out the list, moving into the final 10th spot of the rankings, up from 12th in the winter. His performances at Westover have not gone unnoticed, and Coach Billmeier at NJIT may have gotten a real steal that could be impactful in his first year in New Jersey.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Make sure to subscribe and keep an eye out for more rankings-related content coming on the website through the rest of this week!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
