2028 Breakout Candidates

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We recently updated our rankings and broke down stock risers, new names and even positional rankings. But let's take a look at some potential breakout stars in the near future in this rising Sophomore class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2529549"],"_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-680ec79349364"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most productive freshmen in Louisville this past season, Baron is going to be thrust into the primary scoring role for the Bruins as a Sophomore and he's got the skills to step into that role. Clay has a nice jumper and isn't afraid to let it fly from deep. Ballard will be young next season but [player_tooltip player_id='2529549' first='Baron' last='Clay'] has a chance to shine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532061"],"_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-680ec793493c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ashland is going to graduate one of the best players in school history in [player_tooltip player_id='1089524' first='Zander' last='Carter'] but the cupboard is far from bare. Hughes played a smaller role this past season for the Tomcats but should be expected for a huge boost in playing time next year. Starting this summer, don't be surprised to start hearing his name quite frequently as a potential breakout star in the Sophomore class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532067"],"_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-680ec7934940f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Male has an absolutely loaded class in 2028 but Curry-Hill gets overlooked at times. That may not be the case for much longer. Nicholas is a steady PG who is evolving as a playmaker and has a lot of long term potential. Don't be surprised if you start to hear his name mentioned with the rest of the best in the 7th region's 2028 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2529551"],"_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-680ec79349452"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more high upside kids in the class in my opinion, Aaron is getting better and better. He's long and pretty athletic and his confidence continues to grow as he becomes more and more of an impact player at the varsity level in high school and on the 15u AAU level. I haven't seen Adams play live in a few months but recent film looks like he's starting to embrace his above average athleticism and play above the rim more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
