<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've decided to make a few changes to the absolutely stacked 2028 top ten. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2484289"],"_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-685c58e316982"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coronado's new forward, Devaughn Durrough, is #1 in the latest 2028 rankings. He has a solid frame and stands at 6'7. His build and height allow him to make plays in the post and he can high point the ball when it's time to rebound. Durrough also has a jump shot that he uses and he can drain triples. As a defender, he clogs up the paint and can rack up blocks. Although it may take him some time to adjust to his new high school, he definitely has the tools to play at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offers: Washington, Sacramento St., McNeese St, USC, Cal, University of San Francisco, San Diego St., and Stanford</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2374347"],"_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-685c58e316a25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previous rank #1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2374347' first='Aaron' last='McMorran II'] is now in the #2 spot. He is quite the marksmen from beyond the arc, but I also like how he gets to his mid-range shot. The attention he draws also opens up opportunities for his teammates, and he can hit them with quality passes. On defense, McMorran II is deceptively quick and can jump passing lanes or poke the ball away while his opponent's driving to the cup. While he hasn't picked up any D1 offers just yet, they could be just around the corner. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2370259"],"_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-685c58e316aae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previous rank #2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2370259' first='Terry' last='McKinney III'] has the skill and athleticism to be a playmaker on both offense and defense.
