<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's that time of year again where we do our quarterly rankings updates, and we will start with the senior class! We've had quite a while to compile our 2025 rankings over the past four years, so we had a solid list already but that doesn't mean things haven't changed with transfers and shakeups throughout the list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We will be doing content throughout the week on new additions, biggest risers and positional rankings. Here's a look at part nine players who saw their ranking rise in the update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1956071' first='Adlan' last='Elamin'] | 6'8” SF | Paul VI</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2025722,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/unnamed-37.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/unnamed-37.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2025722" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Previous Rank: #14</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>New Rank: #11</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Utah State commit has been on national radars for a few years now, and after a little bit of a lull through his junior season he has come out and had a fantastic senior season for the Panthers. At 6'8” he provides a lot of versatility as he can make shots and move his feet on the perimeter, he can handle the ball in transition, he thrives in transition with his athleticism and he allows them to give a lot of different looks since they can plug and play him at different positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2242371' first='Josh' last='Hamilton'] | 6'8” PF | Highland</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2636819,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/tempImagecjp0Ov.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/tempImagecjp0Ov.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2636819" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Previous Rank: #50</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Current Rank: #17</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hamilton was very intriguing when we first watched him as a rising junior with Highland, but he dealt with nagging injuries throughout his junior season and this past summer, and now that he's healthy again he's looking like one of the top available bigs on the east coast the way he's played against their grueling schedule. The 6'8” forward is strong and athletic for his size as he plays above the rim effortlessly and with authority, he moves his feet well on switches and is a good rim protector and he still has a so much room to get better moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1489070' first='Danzelle' last='Coles'] | 6'4” SG | STAB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1905513,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Coles-Danzelle.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/Coles-Danzelle.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1905513" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Previous Rank: #29</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>New Rank: #23</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Queens commit took a while to get acclimated when he transferred to STAB last season, but now that he's been there for a while he's not only shown he's a division one player but has had some huge moments for them over the past few years. The Richmond native is a physical guard who can get downhill and finish through contact, he crashes the glass and uses his athleticism to rebound, he can make shots from multiple levels and is a stout defender as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1494113' first='Camryn' last='Pacheco'] | 6'4” SG | Spotswood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2724492,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/tempImageRePz2u.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/tempImageRePz2u.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2724492" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Previous Rank: #41</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>New Rank: #33</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pacheco was a player who impressed when he was young, and seeing the growth he's had since his freshman year it makes sense that he'll be joining his brother at Mount St. Mary's next season. The 6'4” off guard oozes confidence and is a talented shot maker who can get to spots off the bounce and make contested shots, he knocks it down at a high clip from deep, he is excellent as an iso scorer and he produces across the board for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2451937' first='Adarius' last='Boston'] | 6'4” SG | King's Fork</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Previous Rank: #57</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>New Rank: #43</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boston is another player who has taken quite the leap over the past few years, and he's one of the most underrated prospects in the 757 that is still available. He has great physical tools with prototypical size and long arms on the wing, he's a talented scorer who can fill it up from all over the floor, he can play on or off the ball and he uses his length to get deflections and challenge shots defensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225266' first='Jeremiah' last='Gorham'] | 5'11” CG | Highland</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2636799,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/tempImage12Ibts.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/tempImage12Ibts.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2636799" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Previous Rank: #56</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>New Rank: #44</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Gorham at times gets overshadowed on a team with a deep backcourt and a top 5 player in the country, he's been fantastic this year in the Elite Prep League and against their national schedule being one of their go-to scorers on the perimeter. He's quick with the ball and deliberate in his movements to get to spots, he can make tough shots in the midrange, he has deep range off the catch from deep and he consistently makes plays when they need him to.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2451966' first='Cole' last='Hoffman'] | 6'8” C | Manchester</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2504909,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/tempImageoXlNWn.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/tempImageoXlNWn.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2504909" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Previous Rank: 86</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>New Rank: 72</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hoffman is a player we've been tracking as he emerged as a project big his sophomore season, and things have started to click as he has steadily improved and is having a big senior season for the Lancers. He's a throwback big who buries defenders deep and has soft touch around the rim with both hands, he boxes out and rebounds well on both ends of the floor and he's started to extend his range to the elbows as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2242394' first='Daron' last='Moore'] | 6'1” PG | LC Bird</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2450759,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/tempImageCJkm8f.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/tempImageCJkm8f.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2450759" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Previous Rank: 92</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>New Rank: 76</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore was huge in leading LC Bird to a state championship appearance last year, and now as a senior guard he's shown a lot of development as a leader and a playmaker on both ends too. He's quick and shifty off the bounce with the ability to touch the paint both in pick-and-rolls and isolation situations, he controls the tempo and makes good decisions in transition, he scores it well around the rim and in the midrange and he's a very good on ball defender who can cause ball handlers problems as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2242424' first='Tyler' last='Sprague'] | 6'0” CG | Spotswood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2724493,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/tempImageOsZmGz.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/01/tempImageOsZmGz.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2724493" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Previous Rank: 99</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>New Rank: 88</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sprague is another under the radar guard who impacts the game on both ends of the floor, and he impacts winning across the board as a guard who can do a lot of different ways. He's a very good on ball defender who can guard 94 feet and has quick hands, he's shifty and quick off the bounce to get to the rim, he can score it efficiently in different ways and he makes others on his team better too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
