'25 Rankings Update: Biggest Stock-Risers

Previous Rank: 23   -The burly forward continues to be one of the most consistent performers in the area, routinely turning in a double double with 2 or 3 stocks that represent his defensive impact. Folefac hits the glass hard, provides a good roll target but can also his pick n pop jumpers from the top of the key, and guards 2-5 for a MZPA team that has notched some big national victories. Love his willingness to do the dirty work, especially when contrasted with the offensive load that he carries for his team.     Previous Rank: 58   We've written about Haskins a times in the past month as he is starting to become a much more consistent performer in his senior season. A pick n pop threat that can also knock down shots beyond the arc, Haskins is becoming a much more consistent rebounder and roll target in the paint to get easy ones for his team. His activity on the defensive end gives his team much more flexibility with rotations as he can guard out on the wing or in the paint.     Previous Rank: 81   -Our second Tech Prep stockriser of the cycle, Bumpass has earned a starting role as a steadying presence on the wing. Bumpass serves as a great connector because he sees the floor well and can execute on snap decision passing windows by throwing accurate one-handed dimes with either hand. The handle has improved to make him a more effective scorer off the bounce, often earning a trip to the FT line on his forays to rim if he doesn't score outright. Bumpass also serves a crucial role in his team's defensive schemes, flying around defensively and communicating well whether he is on the ball or on the back line to help his team navigate schemes or dissect actions before they are executed in the halfcourt.     Previous Rank: 78   -Muhammad's ability to score it at an efficient clip while being the focal point of each defense he faces proves his value at this level and the next. With a deceptively shifty handle that gets him into his pull-up quickly from all 3 levels, Muhammad is a difficult cover because he can pull up, hit movement shots, score at the rim with power or around defenders in the paint with finesse. Consistently puts up 25-30 a game to keep his team within striking distance of some good teams.     Previous Rank: 83   -Mobley is a guard with good size that can succeed both on and off the ball because of his size, shooting ability, and floor vision. His ability to manipulate the defense with his eyes makes opponents commit to a rotation that frees up teammates for easy buckets in the zone that the defender just left open in the halfcourt. Mobley rebounds the ball well from the guard spot and can also muscle up to guard forwards or shadow defensive assignments on the perimeter. Mobley serves a crucial role without dominating the ball for a balanced Largo Lions team.     Previous Rank: 175   -One of my favorite point guards to watch in the area, Brown constantly applies pressure to his matchup by attacking the rim with a reckless abandon. Brown's probing drives to the rim rarely result in turnovers as he is the straw that stirs the drink for a gritty AACS group that has pulled off some upset wins this season. Love his POA defense out on an island, with Brown serving as a pitbull that is really difficult to screen and even more difficult to get past on drives to the basket.
