Updated Class of 2025 Rankings – Top Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our first update of the Class of 2025 rankings this fall is complete and a number of guys saw a jump in the rankings. Here's a look at some of the top stock risers in this latest round of updates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>+59 - [player_tooltip player_id='2084597' first='Jackson' last='Bluhm'] (2025 Crescent Valley) <em>from #160 to #101</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bluhm went from barely being a blip on the list to a huge jump almost into the top 100 after we watched him perform well in multiple events this fall. The 6-foot-2 combo guard has a nice all-around game, can really shoot the ball, and makes good decisions in transition. He'll be a key player right away at Crescent Valley having transferred there for his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>+34 - [player_tooltip player_id='2080025' first='Jack' last='Clarke'] (2025 Lakeridge) <em>from #111 to #77</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clarke had a very big summer playing with both Lakeridge and the [program_tooltip program_id='2248856' first='Players' last='Only'] AAU program. At 6-foot-7 he is a legitimate threat in the post and when he played aggressively, could do things like simply performing a drop step, spinning past his defender, and finishing at the rim. His perimeter shooting has also improved. He'll be counted upon heavily at Lakeridge as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>+23 - [player_tooltip player_id='2430522' first='Lane' last='Garrison'] (2025 Dayton) <em>from #121 to #98</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We initially were intrigued with Garrison's size and length at 6-foot-4 when we saw Dayton last season, but after seeing him more in action playing with Team G.R.I.T. on the AAU circuit he deserved a jump. He's a solid shooter, can create off the dribble, and is a mismatch defensively because of his aforementioned height and length. He and fellow senior [player_tooltip player_id='1910904' first='Clyde' last='Rosenberg'] should be a huge 1-2 punch for Dayton this year in 3A.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>+22 - [player_tooltip player_id='2244057' first='Naoli' last='Besha'] (2025 Centennial) <em>from #97 to #75</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The game of Besha continues to mature and he had a nice summer and fall, in particular at the Expo: Oregon where he caught eyes with his athleticism and ability to run the floor. The 6-foot-6 senior looks to create and finish at the rim but can also face up and hit mid-range jumpers with accuracy. He will undoubtedly be a key cog for Centennial in 2024-25.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>+18 - [player_tooltip player_id='2575663' first='Colin' last='Cordle'] (2025 South Albany) <em>from #68 to #50</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cordle played alongside and against top talent with the Oregon Prospects in AAU action and his abilities continued to shine with a nice performance at the Expo:Oregon. The 5-foot-11 combo guard really gets downhill in a hurry and has the strength to finish plays around the hoop through contact. His outside shot is solid and he's more than capable of playing the point guard spot in addition to scoring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>+17 - [player_tooltip player_id='2046424' first='Gavin' last='Aguilar'] (2025 West Albany) <em>from #91 to #74</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aguilar had a big summer with Albany Elite and was arguably the team's top perimeter player during that time. The 6-foot-1 guard can get hot from the outside as well as anyone in the state and can do damage not only from beyond the three-point arc but also getting to the hoop. While scoring is his forte, the senior is well-rounded enough to simply run the offense if called upon as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>+16 - [player_tooltip player_id='2204993' first='Jaxson' last='Spafford'] (2025 Putnam) <em>from #58 to #42</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Everyone knows that Spafford can score - he's one of the top outside marksmen in the state and was a huge point producer for Milwaukie in 2023-24. But what the 5-foot-11 guard did this spring, summer, and fall is show that he's a big-time passer too and it was his balance of scoring and distributing that earned him a First Team All-Event honor at the Expo:Oregon. He'll be primed to lead Putnam after deciding to return to the school for his senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
