<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you're serious about staying ahead this season, now is the time. Prep Hoops is <strong>50% OFF</strong> with code <strong>BlackFriday2025</strong>, and this deal won't last. Half price for full access. While you lock that in, let's break down the Top 7 Centennial League prospects that we expect to boost their stock. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2386515"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6927b36409dcd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We've seen Ali multiple times now, and every outing confirms the same thing: he's electric. He's a true microwave scorer who can shift momentum in a hurry. He lives downhill, gets into the teeth of the defense, and creates chaos. This senior season, he'll see more run and be trusted to steer the offense. We expect him to turn heads and stand out in the Centennial League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1874424"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6927b36409e33"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Birkans has a real opportunity to be a difference-maker in his senior season as Creek leans into a lengthy, versatile group. He's a disruptive defender you can throw on anyone who gets hot, and he's earned the green light when the ball swings to him. He'll rebound, slash, rotate it, and spark runs. I'm expecting a noticeable rise from him this year and for Creek to utilize him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1622332"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6927b36409e7d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stroope's been on our radar all summer, and every time we've seen him, he's popped. He's got excellent size, a lethal outside shot, and the athleticism to impact the game in space. He runs lanes, plays on or off the ball, and is starting to hunt his offense more. With confidence rising, so does his game, and Grandview will lean on that balance. He should make his mark this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2750225"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6927b36409ec3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bass is a pure floor-spacer and flamethrower from deep who gives Overland a scoring dimension they don't get anywhere else. He cuts, relocates, and creates gravity for their guards. When he hunts shots, he's at his best as he's capable of flipping a game with a quick run. This is the year the ball should find him more, and I'm curious to see him with a greener light.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2438849"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6927b36409f08"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCubbin enters the season as one of Arapahoe's true swing factors. Defensively, he sets their identity with his switchability, physicality, and disruption in passing lanes. Offensively, he'll be asked to run the show as the primary ball handler. I want to see him attack more to keep the offense flowing and consistently pressure defenses. It's a big year, and he's absolutely a head-turner type of piece.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2417021"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6927b36409f51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kikenny heads into the season as a spark off the bench for Cherry Creek after making his mark as a sophomore. He's confident in his jumper, hunts looks, and capitalizes when defenses relax. With their frontcourt attention, he'll need to read, attack off-ball screens, and run in transition. Even with his Marquette lacrosse commitment, he's a player Creek can lean on in key moments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2398735"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6927b36409fa2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We saw Wells multiple times this summer and again at Uprise, and he impacted games in a variety of ways. He battles on the glass, moves without the ball, and gets out in transition to pressure defenses. When his shot is falling, Eaglecrest's spacing looks completely different. He'll need to be an offensive presence for them to reach their ceiling and could quietly become their secret weapon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
