<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Read the entire <a href="https://prephoops.com/tennessee/rankings/2025-rankings/">Class of 2025 rankings</a>, but this particular story features SF Sleepers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1519804' first='Juice' last='Eleam'] (Knoxville Catholic)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #45</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Athletic gym rat. Juice is widely respected throughout the 423 and yet his college attention lags behind similar talents. Finisher in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1532546' first='Samuel' last='Willoughby III'] (Fayetteville)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #49</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Single-season rebound record holder for Fayetteville High with 22 rebounds. Samuel will play D1 college football and be the best hooper on that team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2341792' first='Jalylle' last='Batey-Roberts'] (Smyrna)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #86</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Slender volume scorer. Expect Batey-Roberts to put up about 20 ppg this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2624793' first='Wade' last='Whaley'] (Gatlinburg-Pittman)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #110</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A rebounding 6-foot-4 wing, Wade upped his points per game from 5.4 ppg as a sophomore to 9.5 ppg as a junior. There is both a need and a realistic chance that that number climbs significantly again as Carlos Orr is no longer patrolling the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1578709' first='Malcolm' last='Ashley'] (Oakland)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #77</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fully recovered and returned from injury. Ashley is a tall, versatile wing with surprising shooting touch. He will play at the next level but needs to re-establish his game after such a long time away.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2610428' first='Tyrece' last='Wiggs'] (Kirkwood)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Current Ranking: #216</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Downhill attacker that can play shooting guard or small forward at the 4A level. Fringe college prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/2024/10/2025-rankings-pg-combo-sleepers-4/">PG/Combo Sleepers</a><br><a href="https://prephoops.com/2024/10/2025-rankings-sg-sleepers/">SG Sleepers</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
