<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's so so early to rank 2028 players so the list is very volatile at this point. In this first update of the rankings, there are a lot of players who have a long way to go but have a ton of potential. Here are some 2028s to keep an eye on moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2396084"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678e84bb7cfb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Male has 5 freshmen, an 8th grader and a 7th grader on the varsity roster. They are very young, especially for the 7th region. [player_tooltip player_id='2396084' first='Jackson' last='Strite'] has only appeared in one varsity game but he's got size and legitimate skill. Assuming everyone stays put at Male, the Bulldogs will be absolutely loaded for the next 3 years and Strite could end up being one of the best on the roster as he develops his game and continues growing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2451396"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678e84bb7d095"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zachery is a good name to file away for later as Pineville is going to graduate A TON this spring and Preston is likely to be the last man standing for them for the next 3 years. A good shooter who is pretty skilled, expect Preston to go from 4 points per game this season to closer to 20 as a Sophomore as he'll have a lot more responsibility in the offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2332524"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678e84bb7d1c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rutledge is part of a Scott County team that is really struggling to string together wins this season but Reed looks like he could be a big part of future success. Reed is still growing and filling out but his shot mechanics are pure. Right now Rutledge is primarily a freshman and JV player but he's going to have a chance to step into a starting role for the Cardinals next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2451395"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678e84bb7d242"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crosby isn't seeing much court time for a veteran Manual team but he has crazy high upside as a shot blocker and finisher around the rim. Long and athletic, Damauri reminds me of every long and rail thin kid who grows into their body and becomes a legit talent by their Junior year. Think along the lines of 2024 Jamison Glass when trying to project Crosby's future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
