<p>The 2025 rankings update were filled with so any stock-risers that one article was not enough. Here is part 2 of the top stock-risers of the 2025 rankings update.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1389143' first='Griffin' last='Linstra'], 6'5 CG Manasquan</strong></h2>   <p>Linstra had a huge summer, which resulted in him moving up 12 spots in the update. The 6'5 guard uses his size to see over his defender and finds his open teammates in the halfcourt. Linstra has a good first step, which he uses to get to the rim off the bounce and finishes nicely around the basket. He is a strong rebounder and can defend multiple positions on the floor. Linstra picked up his first D1 offer from New Hampshire this summer and could pick up more with his play this season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411642' first='Evan' last='Romano'], 6'3 CG St. Rose</strong></h2>   <p>Romano went up 11 spots in the update after he made plays throughout the course of the summer. The 6'3 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and finishes nicely in the mid-range. Romano has a nice release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He moves well without the ball in his hands and gets deflections on the defensive end. Romano picked up his first D1 offer from Buffalo at the end of June and is looking to expand that list over the course of the next couple of months.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1943555' first='Quinn' last='Gibson'], 6'4 SF Cherry Hill West</strong></h2>   <p>Gibson jumped up eight spots in the rankings and has the potential to go up even higher this season. The 6'4 wing has a nice first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish through contact around the rim. Gibson is more than just a slasher as he has a solid shooting stroke and rarely forces jumpers in the halfcourt. He pushes the pace nicely in transition and is an underrated passer. Gibson poured in nearly 600 points in the 2023-24 season and is looking to eclipse that total in his senior season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1558747' first='Kevin' last='Freeman'], 6'5 SF Arts</strong></h2>   <p>Freeman went up seven spots in the update and will be one to track throughout the course of the season. The 6'5 wing has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Freeman moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the halfcourt. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and works for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Freeman is a sharpshooting wing prospect whose ability to stretch the floor will help his stock in a big way this season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1919109' first='Evan' last='Brown'], 6'5 SG Hun</strong></h2>   <p>Brown went up seven spots in the latest update and is looking to move up higher after his postgrad season with the Hun School. The 6'5 guard attacks the basket with a purpose as he finishes strong around the rim and is unafraid of drawing contact. Brown can also score in the mid-range and can make opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He works hard on the defensive end and fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Brown's ability to make plays at both ends of the floor will help his game throughout the course of the season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></h2>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421324' first='Talan' last='Bacote'], 6'2 SG Bloomfield</strong></p>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1919185' first='Sherrod' last='Nelson Jr']., 5'9 PG Toms River North</strong></p>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2504934' first='Chris' last='Lotito'], 6'6 PF Don Bosco Prep</strong></p>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2504938' first='Gardy' last='Etienne'], 6'4 SF Life Center Academy</strong></p>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2504942' first='Aydan' last='Howell'], 6'4 SF Middle Township</strong></p>   <p></p>
