2025 Rankings New Guard Additions

Check out some of the newly added guards to the 2025 rankings, including a couple of familiar names returning to the state, as well as some solid under-the-radar guards who should have big impacts for their respective squads this upcoming season.    Hiatt brings a new perspective upon his return to Washington after winning the National Prep Championship Tournament last season with Western Reserve Academy. Playing alongside the likes of multiple high-major recruits has no doubt had an effect on Hiatt's development and the mindset he brings back with him to Edmonds Woodway. We slot him in at number five in this update of the 2025 class rankings but he'll be one to keep an eye on as we refamiliarize ourselves with the talented guard.       We got our first look back at Lanier, since his return to Washington, at the Prep Hoops Expo this September. He's no doubt a heady player who has the IQ and skill to thrive in his senior year. Outside shooting and defense seem to be his strengths, but he's another player we are eager to get more eyes on as the season opens up.     Parker was a key leader last season for Silas and really affected the game in lots of ways. He was effective from long-range, especially spotting up or relocating off of drives and entries to the post, but also showed an ability to do some playmaking off of his paint touches. He's going to lead the charge again this winter and is really a kid who gets his hands all over the game for the Rams.     Burns is an interesting wing who showcases skills that really translate to playing in space. He's great at operating the break or filling lanes where he's an athletic finisher. He excels at getting downhill, both in stride off the catch and using the dribble to beat his man, and is able to finish at tough angles and around some congestion inside.     The Seton Catholic point guard has displayed some exceptional range behind the arc and looked pretty impressive from what I saw of him this summer. He's getting shots off quicker, shows no hesitation to pull when given any space behind the arc, and has some good toughness that lends itself to playmaking among the trees inside. He's a guy to watch this season as Seton Catholic should be in play to make a run at the 1A state tournament.     The numbers don't lie, Boddie was the definition of a knockdown shooter from 3-point range last season. He does a great job getting feet and hands set to get shots off quickly, and he's also a pretty scrappy player. Solid defender and a guy who's going to fly around and fight for extra possessions, showing the hands to get pokes and tips and keep the play alive.     He's a tough lefty point guard who does a great job facilitating in tight spaces and has shown some good shot-making ability off the dribble and around the paint. Is really active on both ends and should make a good impact in his first year at Shorecrest.     Greear is another tough guard who has really excelled getting downhill and showing some strength finishing inside. He plays looking to attack gaps and uses that aggression to slip past defenders, absorb contact, and finish inside. Monroe looks like one of the tougher teams heading into the year in the WesCo 3A and Greear is a guy who can set the tone with his pace and toughness.     He's a skilled guard who has some strength and footwork to efficiently work through traffic and get to the rim but he also shows some good potency from the midranges and can knock down some threes too. When he is on, he adds a big boost to this Lindbergh team that will need him at his best to take advantage of a solid roster heading into the winter.
