Prep Hoops IN Class of 2028 Prospect Rankings – New Names, Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We released our updated Class of 2028 Prospect Rankings on Monday evening. This update featured our first shot at ranking the Top 25 prospects in the class, over 50 new names, and the growth of our database to nearly 350 names in the current freshman class. As always, here at Prep Hoops Indiana, we don't just release rankings and forget about them. We strive to always dive deeper than that. Throughout this week we will be highlighting each of the Top 25 prospects, going over some of the new names added to the Watch List, and taking a closer look at some of the highest upside prospects that narrowly missed the cut in our initial Top 25. Let's take a closer look at some of the new names who joined our ever-growing Watch List.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2791286"],"_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-67ca2f4418128"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Washington Township is 20-4 on the season and has spent time inside of the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 1A Top 10. The Senators are set to take on Morgan Township in the Sectional 49 semifinals on Friday night before likely playing Kouts on Saturday for the championship. Banker has been a large part of their success leading the team in scoring at 13.0 points per game while also averaging 4.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.1 steals per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2797089"],"_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-67ca2f4418182"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Cavaliers have really struggled this season from win-loss standpoint, but at least there is some optimism for the future with this 5'10" guard around. Jackson leads Culver Community in scoring at 7.3 points per game as a freshman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2797061"],"_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-67ca2f44181cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There are so many good, young prospects going through southern Indiana right now. This Crothersville High School prospect has certainly emerged among the long list of names to watch. Jones has stepped into a major varsity role from day one averaging 10.6 points, 24. rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per game for the Tigers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2797062"],"_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-67ca2f441820e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">River Forest enters Sectional 18 play with an impressive 16-6 record. The Ingots will take on Kankakee Valley on Friday night. A big reason for their success this season has been this 6'0" freshman guard. Nelson is averaging 9.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.7 steals to do a little bit of everything for the team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2797618"],"_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-67ca2f441825d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It isn't easy to earn the right to even dress for the varsity games as a freshman at a place like Lawrence North. However, the reason why the Wildcats are able to maintain success is because they always have guys like Prather coming up through the program. The physical, athletic, 6'2" wing has appeared in three games for LN this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2797658"],"_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-67ca2f44182b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Richardson upside as a three-point shooting threat should keep fans of Owen Valley High School engaged over the next few seasons. As a freshman, the 5'10" guard has shot 38-112 (33.9%) from beyond the arc. Richardson is averaging 5.9 points per game for the Patriots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
