He explodes up to dunk the ball, he runs the floor with fluidity and rebounds and blocks shots at a high clip. He received an offer from Miss State recently.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2550844' first='Tegra' last='Makabu'] <strong>AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A thicker framed post player who is almost impossible to move. He uses his mass and girth to control the glass and gobble up all the balls near him. He scores on put backs and dunks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2291967' first='Kyle' last='Bogart'] <strong>Highland</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big man in the East Valley is mobile and rapidly improving it seems by the month. He uses his size and length to block shots and gobble up rebounds in his area. He will score it effectively around the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1263804' first='Jaylon' last='Johnson'] <strong>Skyline Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A skilled five-man who can face-up a little, uses hook shots, dunks the ball with good hands and will power up inside. He is still finding his footing after a year injury and hopefully will keep improving his movements as the year goes on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2211005' first='Nnamdi' last='Ogali'] <strong>Bella Vista Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong center with some size and length. He uses his sturdy frame, girth and aggression to throw his body around inside the paint to score or to rebound in his area. He can throw it down on the break but plays mostly under the rim. He runs the court and can score on put backs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1469392' first='Jeremiah' last='Jones'] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the tallest players in the class is Jones. He is a fluid mover and has some skill around the basket. He will run the floor, rebound in his area and most importantly alter or block shots. Once he gets stronger, he should take off even more. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1917869' first='Ethan' last='Sobik'] <strong>Notre Dame Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong based center has good hands and skill. He can stretch out to the three point line and then work inside with good post footwork with hook shots and layups. He will score on put backs and block some shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1679272' first='Jack' last='Raslavsky'] <strong>Mesquite </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fluid mover with size and length. He transferred in from Basha and looks to make a fresh start for the Wildcats. He will rebound the ball at a good rate and he will block shots or alter a few each game. He has a hook shot and will occasionally face up to the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
