2028 Rankings Update: Five Who Could Jump in the Next Update

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2519258' first='Keaton' last='Kasperbauer'] | Centennial</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kasperbauer is already pretty high in the rankings, checking in at #12 in this latest update, but he could see himself shoot into the top 5 or 10 with a big start to his sophomore campaign with the Jaguars. He's coming off a strong spring and summer that saw him showcase his ability to score from all three levels with remarkable efficiency and explosiveness, and on a Centennial roster that lost a lot of production, he'll have a chance to shine early. We'll be looking to see continued improvement as a playmaker off the dribble, creating shots for himself and his teammates in addition to his ability to shoot it at a high level off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PF [player_tooltip player_id='2772327' first='Tade' last='Roberts'] | Hudson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roberts is coming off a really productive freshman year with Hudson, averaging 10.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. He's a strong young big with good footwork and touch around the rim, and if he's able to add some consistency with his jumper in the mid-range and occasionally stretching it out to the arc, he could see himself make a significant jump in the next update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2523914' first='Lincoln' last='Hickie'] | Western Dubuque</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hickie is coming off a solid spring and summer on the grassroots circuit and will be looking to carry that momentum into his sophomore season in Epworth. He's part of a talented young backcourt that could surprise some teams in the MVC this winter. His ability to create shots off the dribble for himself and his teammates should be on full display. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2523912' first='Kalob' last='Lovely'] | Treynor</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lovely was really good when we saw Treynor play at the Winterset Shootout in June, and he'll step into a pretty significant role off the bench as a scorer and facilitator for the Cardinals. He's a high IQ guard who can shoot it at a high level and he has great vision.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PF [player_tooltip player_id='2897197' first='Reid' last='Herrig'] | Wahlert Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A transfer from Senior, Herrig will be a big piece of the puzzle for the Golden Eagles as a sophomore, giving them some size, athleticism, and strength in the painted area on both ends of the floor. He's an intelligent player who can impact the game on both ends of the floor, and given more opportunity, he should see his stock rise quickly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
