<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 combo guards and 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>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ryder is a good shooter who is working to improve as a driver and to get stronger to absorb contact and get to the free throw line more often. Primarily a three point shooter this past season, Burgess was launching from deep nearly 8 times per game but only averaged one free throw attempt per game for the season. He'll need to strike a better balance moving forward but Ryder has potential to be really good.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the bigger sleepers in Louisville, Jeremiah has flashed a lot of tools that make him a very interesting prospect. Marshall is athletic and long and excels at putting his head down and attacks the rim. Don't be surprised if Jeremiah makes some huge strides as a Sophomore for a Butler team that should be pretty good in the 6th region.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bowman has grown and filled out in the last few months and appears ready to contribute for a Douglass team that has their eyes on winning the 11th region this season. There are 8 returning Seniors for the Broncos so it remains to be seen how much varsity time Bowman will see but he's got the physical tools to make an impact when he's on the floor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Our Mike Roth thinks Reddick has amongst the most potential in the entire class. I'm interested to see more from Jett as this Sophomore season can be a big one for the big guard. Mostly a role player last year, don't be surprised if Jett makes a move into the starting lineup as a Sophomore. If he keeps developing, he could surpass Jack Reddick as the best Reddick in Lyon County basketball history.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kamden has had a good AAU season thus far but could be one of the players most affected by [player_tooltip player_id='1543598' first='Jagger' last='Mardis']' transfer to Grayson. Sanders will need to continue to carve out his role for the Cougars team that plans to capture a 3rd region title this year. As a shooter, Kamden will have plenty of opportunity to impact winning for his squad.</p>
