<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Versatile wings and forwards are quickly becoming some of the most valuable pieces in the 2029 class, and this latest rankings update includes several names worth knowing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Including new additions: [player_tooltip player_id='3243842' first='Santino' last='Randleman'] (Bishop Gorman) and [player_tooltip player_id='3243670' first='Jake' last='Bunyan'] (Somerset Losee).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2389573"],"_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-69446e1e0c298"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2389573' first='Joe' last='McKinney'] is in the #7 spot in the latest rankings update. He already has a physical frame that few freshmen can match, allowing him to attack defenders in the paint with confidence. He's also capable of throwing down powerful dunks when he gets a full head of steam. Defensively, McKinney can swing momentum with emphatic blocks and consistently battles on the glass. With plenty of time still to develop, expect him to make even more noise moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3243842"],"_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-69446e1e0c359"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3243842' first='Santino' last='Randleman'] came onto my radar this fall, and I liked what I saw from him.

He also moves well for a 2029 of his size and consistently gets back on defense, where he can alter shots and block them. As he continues to add more to his game, he has the potential to become an even more dangerous prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3243670"],"_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-69446e1e0c3e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3243670' first='Jake' last='Bunyan'] is an intriguing forward to track thanks to his size, skill, and early varsity experience with the Lions.
