2025 Class Rankings Sleepers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a list of players that are much lesser known, but not lesser talented than most of the names on the 2025 rankings. Players we thing will make a huge jump in production and notoriety in next season if not before in AAU seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

coaches.  Swain is a towering 6'7u0022, doubles as a college prospect pitcher on the mound, as well as starting to develop his on court skills by the end of the season.  Swain will be an LKC mainstay next season and likely lead Ravenswood in several statistical

well as on the move.  Greyson can assume the role as 2nd or 3rd scoring option but seems to have no problem when duty calls for him to put the ball in the bucket.  Greyson returns next year with a great line up of returning starters and bench players.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["2382654"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip

time starting role as he put down a transition alley-oop dunk.  Wilfong is a long and lean athletic wing/forward player who could easily propel himself into recruiting talk with some off season development.  Wilfong is a super athletic and bouncy player and uses his abilities well.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["2382635"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip

state's top shooters returning next year.  While much of the defensive pressure goes to [player_tooltip player_id='2208821' first='Caleb' last='Thomas'], Uth-Smith is the perfect compliment as a long lengthy wing shooter that stretches defenses and keeps them honest.  Spring Mills will have no shortage of college coaches giving attention so Loakkhae will get eyes on him soon if not already.

starting to be a matchup problem.  We'd anticipate him being a double double machine next season and in the average range of 15 u0026amp; 10 which will get him attention from small college and juco's
