2028s who moved from the WL to the rankings

The 2028 rankings will be released on Tuesday, October 7th. With what we've seen from these prospects over the summer and heading into the Fall, this group of 2028s will make a jump onto the rankings as we feel that they've earned a spot. Each player showed growth, confidence, and the ability to impact games in multiple settings. This group has made the leap and looks ready for more.    Mason is a player that we're high on heading into the season for Lutheran as we've seen Clark throughout fall league and also at a showcase and the thing is he looks the part. He plays at varsity speed, has good size and is versatile. At 6'5, he's a balanced, low-mistake wing who plays with poise and feel. He spaces the floor, shoots it confidently, and impacts both ends with his length and effort. Clark does the little things well, and his ceiling remains high as he takes on a bigger varsity role. Expecting him to have a big year where he can showcase his production.     Eggmeyer first caught our eye at Colorado Live and kept showing up everywhere after. At 6'4, he's a skilled, versatile wing who consistently performs in any environment, but what stands out about him is that he plays the right way. He rebounds, starts the break, and scores from multiple levels while defending with effort. His steady approach and ability to affect the game in ways that are not just scoring has him as a player to watch moving forward. After time on the watch list, Eggmeyer earns his place among the class's top risers and with a solid start to the season can rise even more.     Coet has been one of the more explosive scorers we've seen from this class, and that has been on display all summer. Coet is a microwave shooter who can get hot from deep, and that used to be the focus on how to slow him down, but he's also shown the ability to create and score at all three levels, and that makes him dangerous. His off-ball movement and shooting touch fit perfectly in Mead's system, and this season I expect him to make a leap this season. With improved playmaking and confidence, Coet looks ready to produce on varsity and continue rising up the rankings but jumps on the rankings after time on the watch list this season.     Sermons was one of the biggest surprises of the summer as he dominated as an under-the-radar guard. He's an explosive scorer with a quick first step and possesses the ability to get downhill or pull up in rhythm for an open shot. Malaki creates separation as an iso scorer, attacks gaps, and brings intensity defensively. He'll be a key piece for Denver West this season and earns his jump into the rankings after a standout showing. He's a player I'm intrigued by.     Grothe's summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2076216' first='L.O.B.' last='Elite'] and his play at our showcase showed how active and valuable he can be, and is a big reason that he makes the jump onto our rankings. He plays hard on both ends of the floor, finds open lanes, and keeps pressure on defenses, which allows him to stay in the game. His motor and energy consistently stood out in times that we've seen him this summer. If Grothe can continue to expand his game and embrace a bigger role, he will only continue to rise in the rankings.
