The 2029 rankings are out! We only ranked 65 players so far and last year this time we had 90 exactly for the 2028 class. This class initially looks very good but it may not be as deep as 2028 with 5+ nationally ranked players already.   Time will always tell how good classes are and many more will be discovered in the next few months of the AIA season. I will go to freshman and JV games to find some new freshmen talent.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here is the Top 25-32 Freshmen ranked</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='2970180' first='Dawoud' last='Manigat'] Bella Vista Prep   A long wing/scoring guard plays with a good feel for the game. He makes players around him better and plays like a point forward type. He can shoot it from the three point line plus get to the basket with longer strides.   [player_tooltip player_id='2956985' first='Elijah' last='Antoine'] Maryvale   A good sized guard/wing who is very fluid to defend in space and he rebounds the ball well. He is a three level scorer with threes off the catch or pull and he can get to the basket. He uses a deceptively tighter handle and takes longer strides to finish it off with euros and step thrus.   [player_tooltip player_id='2953319' first='Keith' last='Harrison'] Maryvale (Pictured)   A hyper athletic wing forward seems to fly on the break. He is a graceful mover and fast with the ball and he plays way above the rim with plus body control. He will play the passing lanes to collect steals and he can defend the 1-3 for his team.   [player_tooltip player_id='2506519' first='JaKoby' last='Juarez'] Desert Vista   A bigger wing forward can play a few positions and score it from inside and out. He has the size and skill to work down low with advanced post footwork but then has a nice touch from the perimeter to shoot the three. He also rebounds well in his area.   [player_tooltip player_id='2949688' first='Zion' last='Sanchez'] Boulder Creek   A long prospect can handle it, shoot it and score it. He will defend and play multiple positions with his fluidity and skill. He will create his own offense with rip thus in traffic and has the frame to absorb the contact to score. He will also step out and shoot the three.   [player_tooltip player_id='2825980' first='Brexton' last='Quinet'] Desert Mountain   A cerebral, high IQ real point guard who can shoot it. The lefty has a high feel for the game to find a teammate in stride off of the pick and roll action or drive and kicks. He will shoot it easily from mid to the three point line off the catch or create his own.   [player_tooltip player_id='2894935' first='Kendell' last='Stapleton'] Desert Mountain   A fast and shifty point guard with a defensive mentality. He is almost a bully on-ball defender with his quick feet and hands and he is a natural downhill player with his speed with the ball and tighter handle. He also sees the court with real vision.   [player_tooltip player_id='2878046' first='Coleton' last='Hedges'] Campo Verde   A good sized combo guard plays on or off the ball. He is good without the ball to come off of a screen and shoot it off the catch from the three point line. With the ball he can pull-up off the dribble from mid-range and is cerebral to make a play.
