2028 Ranked and Ready: Rising Names and Game-Changers

As the newly released 2028 rankings continue to generate buzz, this class is showing real depth from top-tier talent to late risers who are poised to make noise this season. These prospects are not only ready to make an immediate impact but are also strong candidates to climb the rankings over time. Here is a look at a few names worth tracking…   [player_tooltip player_id='2194997' first='Keegan' last='Keeton'] (5'11/CG/'28/Jasper)   IG: keetonkeegan   X: @keegankeeton   Ranking: #5   Keegan had one of the most productive 2024–25 campaigns statewide when it came to perimeter shooting. Widely regarded as one of the top three-point shooters not just in Alabama but nationally in his class, Keegan's elite shooting mechanics and shot preparation continue to draw significant attention from college coaches. His ability to stretch the floor, create spacing, and convert consistently from deep makes him a lethal offensive weapon.   [player_tooltip player_id='2748377' first='Caileb' last='Wilson'] (6'2/PP/2028/Oxford HS)   IG: cwilson_the1   X: @cwilson_the1   Ranking: #7   Caileb is poised to make an immediate impact for Oxford this season. He is a dual-threat backcourt presence who can run the offense and score in bunches, and he plays with confidence well beyond his age. As the season progresses, look for Caileb to emerge as a go-to scoring option, especially during Oxford's expected deep playoff push. His blend of composure, offensive feel, and upside makes him a foundational piece for the Yellow Jackets.   [player_tooltip player_id='2194645' first='Charleston' last='Owens'] (5'9/PG/'28/Madison Academy)   IG: Charleston.owens   X: @Charleston.owen1   Ranking: #30   Charleston started every game at the point for Madison Academy and established himself as one of the premier on-ball defenders in the class. He is lightning-quick with the ball and thrives in transition, collapsing defenses with his aggressive downhill play. While he is a capable scorer, his greatest impact comes from tempo control, playmaking, and defensive pressure. He is really good at setting the tone without needing to dominate the scoring column.   [player_tooltip player_id='2748970' first='Kade' last='Quinn'] (5'10/SG/'28/Marion County)   IG: kadequinn4   Ranking #44   Kade's development over the summer was noticeable. He was formerly a spot-up shooter, but has expanded his game with improved court vision, off-ball movement, and passing ability. Physically, he has embraced the weight room and added strength, which has translated to more effective finishes at the rim. However, his most significant leap came on the defensive end, where his lateral quickness and commitment to guarding the opponent's top scorers has stood out. Expect him to take on a much larger two-way role this winter.   [player_tooltip player_id='2748332' first='Tucker' last='Screws'] (6'3/PF|C/'28/Good Hope)   IG: tucker_screws3   X: @TuckerScrews24   Ranking: #47   Tucker made solid strides in June, embracing a new role as a primary option and team leader following the graduation of several key scorers. His ability to rebound, defend the paint, and finish around the rim helped anchor his squad. He is a high-motor big with a competitive edge, and his physical tools and upside give him plenty of long-term promise as he grows into a featured role.     [player_tooltip player_id='2841715' first='Asa' last='Priola'] (6'5/F|C/'28/Hartselle)   IG: asa_priola5   Ranking: #119   Asa is beginning to emerge as a true hybrid forward with intriguing inside-out potential and long-term upside worth tracking. He is developing his game to be able to impact the game both on the perimeter and in the paint. He already possesses a perimeter skill set developed over years of playing as a guard, now paired with improving post instincts and interior physicality he is becoming a match-up problem. As he continues to grow into his frame and refine his back-to-the-basket game, Asa has the tools to produce on both ends. With the right development and continued progression, he is a strong candidate to rise significantly in future rankings.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   🏀 Join Us for the #PHTheExpoAL Camp! 🏀   Are you ready to take your game to the next level?
