2028 Rankings Update: Top Bigs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Sophomore class is super loaded with talent and the early indications are that the group could be the best we have seen in a while. Here's a look at the top power forwards and Centers in our updated 2028 rankings. This does not include any players in the top ten as they have already been written about in the Top Ten article that came out last week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2028","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"77243","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"97","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68655a2ddfca7"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2027","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"77245","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"97","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68655a2ddfcf8"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2429594"],"_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-68655a2de157b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Looking for a player with big time potential? Stuart is long and skilled and still only 15 years old. He's got to get stronger but Everett has great range on his jumper and shoots it with confidence. His overall athleticism has to improve but that should be expected as he stops growing and gets stronger. Everett is right outside the top ten right now but is top 5 in terms of potential. He just has to reach it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2360963"],"_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-68655a2de15da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A bruising big man, Cunagin caught my eye when he was an 8th grader at Jackson County. He's got to continue to improve his overall skill level and get more athletic but Corey is very skilled around the bucket. Possessing a great motor, the North Laurel big man needs to continue to improve as an out of area rebounder but Coach Valentine is extremely high on his potential. Cunagin is a name to watch for a breakout this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2396084"],"_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-68655a2de1623"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strite is a stretch 4 or faceup 5 man who could is a sleeper in the class if he gets stronger and more comfortable in the low post area. Jackson is still growing and filling out his frame so he's a long way from his ceiling. He only played a handful of varsity games last season but looks like he'll have an opportunity to start or at least be a heavy rotation piece for Male.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2451395"],"_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-68655a2de1669"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crosby is one of my favorite long term prospects in the 28 class because he reminds me of current overseas pro Isaiah Cozart with his ability to block and alter everything around the rim. If Damauri can continue to develop his offensive game, he's going to be a top 10 or better player in the class. If you're looking for a player to invest in, buy stock in [player_tooltip player_id='2451395' first='Damauri' last='Crosby'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2529552"],"_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-68655a2de16ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">CJ has a lot of potential if he starts to get more aggressive. Sometimes, he reminds of a gentle giant with his demeanor and lack of motor. When he's determined to be, Thomas can be a big time difference maker with his size and scoring ability. He could be a starter this season and has D1 upside thanks to his big frame that continues to grow. CJ has the chance to really develop over the next year and is certainly a name to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
