<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rankings coverage moves on as we follow up last week's update for the&nbsp;<em>Class of 2027</em>&nbsp;with an update to the rankings for the&nbsp;<em>Class of 2028</em>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2349988' first='Michai' last='White']</em></strong> takes over the <strong><em>#1</em></strong> spot in the rankings after transferring into <em>Brewster Academy</em>. The nationally ranked guard has the ability to dominate a game with the ball in his hands, showing an impressive ability to both make plays for others and to score the basketball himself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Checking in at <strong><em>#2</em></strong> is <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2594613' first='Derek' last='Swartz']</em></strong>. The <em>Portsmouth</em> guard had a terrific summer, announcing himself on a national stage with his scoring ability, versatility, and two-way rebounding, while garnering attention (and scholarshio offers) from multiple high major programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2571906' first='Malachi' last='Odugbela']</em></strong> holds the <strong><em>#3</em></strong> ranking. The big combo guard out of the <em>St. Andrew's School</em> continues to show some an impressive feel for the game on the offensive end of the floor and a budding scoring arsenal. His combination of size, athleticism, and skill with the ball in his hands makes him a standout prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The <strong><em>#4</em></strong> ranked player in the class is <strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2832762' first='Wiji' last='Dak']</em></strong>. The power wing recently announced his transfer to the <em>Tilton School</em> and should make an immediate impact in the NESCAC with his two-way abilities. He's a multi-level scorer, above the rim athlete, and has the potential to be a lock-down defender on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rounding out the <em>Top 5</em> is <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2569694' first='Kyle' last='Delves']</strong>. At <strong><em>#5</em></strong>, Delves, who plays at <em>Mount Saint Charles</em>, stands out with his shot creation ability with the ball in his hands. On top of that, he's got the ability to run an offense, is electric in the open floor, and can really defend in space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In all, 140 prospects have been ranked in this update, with an additional 128 appearing on the&nbsp;<em>Watch List</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All six New England state are represented in these rankings, with prospects coming from the NEPSAC, the Power 5, the Nike EYBL Scholastic League, and each of the six state associations.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Positionally, these rankings feature 16&nbsp;<em>Point Guards</em>, 24&nbsp;<em>Combo Guards</em>, 26&nbsp;<em>Shooting Guards</em>, 43&nbsp;<em>Small Forwards</em>, 20&nbsp;<em>Power Forwards</em>, and 11&nbsp;<em>Centers</em>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep an eye on the site throughout the week as we highlight the Top 10, Newcomers, Risers, and more in the&nbsp;<em>Class of 2028</em>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
