Here's a look at part two of the new faces in the updated rankings!   #52) [player_tooltip player_id='2242031' first='Lorcan' last='Hyndman'] | 6'6” SF | Bishop O'Connell   Hyndman is one of a number of transfers to O'Connell this year, and the 6'6” wing is a talented prospect who will bring production in a number of different ways to this group. He has great size on the perimeter with length and the ability to guard multiple positions, he can make tough shots from the midrange and from deep and he can create for himself and others off the bounce.   #54) [player_tooltip player_id='2571755' first='Stephen' last='Kouassi'] | 6'8” PF | Oak Hill Red   Kouassi is an intriguing long term prospect for Oak Hill's Red team, as he had a big junior season and is set to have an even better senior season this year. At 6'8” he's the type of player that can impact the game without needing the ball as he is a constant lob threat, he runs the floor hard, rebounds well on both ends and is a big time shot blocker as well.   #66) [player_tooltip player_id='1511722' first='Deng' last='Wutchok'] | 6'7” PF | Virginia Academy   Wutchok is another impressive long term prospect moving forward, as he can do a lot of things at 6'7” that others can't do and is only scratching the surface with how good he can be. He has long arms and is a natural athlete to guard multiple positions and protect the rim, he shoots it well in the mid-post area in both face ups and post ups, he is a good passer at his size and he can work off the bounce as well.   #71) [player_tooltip player_id='2571759' first='Elijah' last='Williams'] | 6'4” SF | Evergreen Christian   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage0ivHwy.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage0ivHwy.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2566632" /></a></figure>   Williams is part of a very talented group at Evergreen that will be a tough out this year, and his size and versatility will make him a tough matchup for anyone. At 6'4” he's a smooth and explosive athlete who can attack off the bounce and get to the rim, he can knock down shots from all three levels, he's a good defender and he's willing to do the dirty work too.   #73) [player_tooltip player_id='2571766' first='Prodigy' last='Simms'] | 5'10” PG | Eastern Mennonite   Simms had a huge junior season for EMHS leading them to the VISAA D3 semifinals, and he's one of the most talented shotmakers in the Harrisonburg area. While he's only 5'10” Simms has exceptional range well past the three-point line, he creates space and has a quick release to get his shot off, he can get downhill and finishes well over bigger defenders and he's a high IQ playmaker too.   #81) [player_tooltip player_id='1852043' first='KJ' last='Anderson'] | 6'7” SF | Oak Hill Red   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Screen-Shot-2023-04-10-at-5.11.24-PM.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Screen-Shot-2023-04-10-at-5.11.24-PM.png?w=734" alt="" class="wp-image-1903859" /></a></figure>   Anderson is a native of NY who spent last season in Knoxville, TN, and he joins an already talented Oak Hill Red group who will benefit greatly from his versatility. At 6'7” Anderson can knock down shots from deep at a good clip, he gets downhill and uses his length to finish at the rim, he has good ball skills and is a versatile defender as well.   #91) [player_tooltip player_id='2571775' first='Marquise' last='Jones'] | 6'4” CG | Norview   Jones is part of a talented Norview backcourt that will be a tough matchup for anyone, and he's a player who could move up this list easily with a big senior season. At 6'4” he's a guard with great size who can handle the rock and get downhill where he's a good finisher through traffic, he can get to spots off the bounce and knock down shots from the midrange and he is useful defensively with his ability to guard multiple positions.   #100) [player_tooltip player_id='2571779' first='Curtis' last='Jordan'] | 6'3” SG | Norview   Jordan is one of a number of running mates with Jones who is also set up to have a great senior season, as he can score the ball in a number of ways and will play well off the multiple shot creators they have. Jordan can drill it from deep off the catch with good range, he's shifty off the bounce and can score it from multiple levels in isolation and he can get hot quickly and score the ball in bunches.   #107) [player_tooltip player_id='2571790' first='Bishop' last='Saunders'] | 6'0” PG | Christchurch   Saunders is one of the more underrated lead guards in the state, coming on strong this summer and showing he's a well rounded guard who impacts winning in a number of ways. The 6'0” lead guard plays with great pace and doesn't get sped up when he's pressured, he finishes well with both hands at the rim, he can make shots off the bounce from deep and he's an unselfish playmaker too.   #110) [player_tooltip player_id='2571786' first='Devin' last='Gaines'] | 6'0” PG | Peninsula Catholic   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage0W8tEo.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage0W8tEo.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2566631" /></a></figure>   Gaines is another guard who has burst on the scene this fall with a revamped PC team that will compete with anyone they're matched up with, and he's a guy who can fill it up in bunches when he gets it going. He's an aggressive downhill guard who thrives in transition with his speed, he can knife through the defense and finishes well at the rim and he provides great ball pressure defensively too.
