<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The rising Junior class is absolutely LOADED with talent and there are any number of players who could take over the top spot in any update. With so much talent, it's getting harder and harder to rank these players. Here's a look at the biggest movers in this rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2389668"],"_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-6840b070a0855"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Climbing nearly 20 spots from 36th to 17th in this update, Garrison has quickly gone from unranked to top 20 and hasn't show signs of slowing down. A bigger guard who can play on or off the ball on offense and really knows how to defend on the other end, Gilvin has been one of the biggest stock boosters this AAU season on our Prep Hoops Circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2479666"],"_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-6840b070a08b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making a big move up from 177th to 26th overall, Butler had a monster spring of AAU, leading all of the UA Rise in scoring in the May live period and averaging a double double. An explosive athlete, Jarel could have a future on the court or on the football field. He's a big time leaper with a great frame who should continue improving, long term.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2411599"],"_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-6840b070a08fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McFarland goes from 57th to 30th in this update. He was very impressive at the PB32 Elite Camp a couple of weeks ago and is a big time athlete that makes plays above the rim. His overall skill level needs to continue to improve but he hasn't had a chance to show a whole lot. I'm interested to see more out of Johnny as he keeps developing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2434653"],"_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-6840b070a093d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Horn is an athletic slasher who climbs from 55th to 38th after a strong second half of his Sophomore season, including a 33 point outburst against Scott County. Asher has to become a better three point shooter to reach his potential but he should be a top Junior in Lexington this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The rising Junior class is absolutely LOADED with talent and there are any number of players who could take over the top spot in any update. With so much talent, it's getting harder and harder to rank these players. Here's a look at the biggest movers in this rankings update.
