<p>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.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here is the Top 33-40 Freshmen ranked</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2970198' first='William' last='Boparai'] <strong>Bella Vista Prep</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The second tallest player in the class is a newcomer from Canada. He has the size to rebound the ball in his area and he will alter or block shots. He likes facing up to the three point line and will score it also with put backs off of the glass.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2759173' first='Jordan' last='Cruz'] <strong>Dysart</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A quick southpaw with a knack for scoring the ball. The lefty is very fast and quick and can score it from all three levels with dribble drives, threes off the catch and bursts to the basket. He can also see the court and make a play for a teammate.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2785914' first='Yowin' last='Ajawin'] <strong>Dream City Christian </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A fluid power forward who moves gracefully from end to end. He is one of the better natural rebounders in the freshmen class with good hands, size and a frame to withstand the pounding inside. He will rip thru, dunk it and hit occasional jumpers.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2842403' first='Malik' last='Frazier'] <strong>Bourgade Catholic </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A quick and shifty scoring lead guard for the small school. The son of the head coach understands how to change speeds with his tighter handle and he can get to his spots to create his own offense from mid to the three point line. He also sees the court well. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3005528' first='Terrance' last='Porter Jr']<strong> Carl Hayden </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A quick on quick real point guard who can score. He has good speed with the ball in his hands and can burst past his defenders and hit shots from mid to the three point line. He is quick on the ball defensively and brings another gear to the court off the bench on varsity already for the talented 5A team.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2883787' first='Turner' last='Armstrong'] <strong>Coolidge (Pictured)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A cerebral scoring point guard just gets the game. He definitely plays from the neck up and sees plays developing quickly. He can shoot it easily from the three point line plus get a step on a defender to the basket. His passing, pace and shooting makes it already one of their best players. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2949101' first='Kentrell' last='King II'] <strong>Sequoia Pathfinder</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A quick and dynamic pure point guard with speed and a yo-yo handle can also score. He will thread the needle to a teammate with advanced court vision and has the skill to score. He has a sharp pull-up from mid-range and he can hit the three plus get downhill. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2506524' first='Colin' last='Godfrey'] <strong>Cactus Shadows</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A high motored defensive minded point guard who plays harder then your average freshmen. He has quick feet and hands and his football background has him playing aggressively on both sides of the court. He loves getting downhill to score and can also make plays. </p>
