2028 Rankings Update: Notable stock-risers

We recently updated our statewide 2028 rankings to reflect everything we've seen and heard throughout the high school season thus far. Keep reading for a look at some notable stock-risers in this edition of the rankings.    Knight makes one of the most noteworthy jumps in this update to the rankings thanks to a promising start to his sophomore season. After biding his time on JV last year while tacking on another inch or two in the process, the bruising interior presence has now been unleashed on the varsity level. While still relatively new to the game, he has a great foundation near the rim on both ends, imposing his will in a condensed role off the bench with strong hands and quick feet. He profiles at this point as the top true center prospect in the state within his class.     Williams makes a jump into the top 20 while stepping into a starring role as a sophomore. A quick-twitch athlete with solid positional size and length, he shows promising three-level scoring instincts. He also displays a natural feel for the game on both ends of the floor, using his length, quickness, and leaping ability to make defensive plays both on the perimeter and as a secondary rim protector. Williams is also the starting quarterback for the Millionaires' football team, indicating some potential hidden upside if he's able to add more polish with focusing full-time on basketball.     Making nearly a 15-spot jump in this update, Lewis has acquitted himself nicely to the Catholic League gauntlet while helping LC to their first pair of league wins in over five years. With a marquee scoring and playmaking role, it's a significant leap from where he was a year ago while on Neumann-Goretti's JV team. He shows a high degree of polish as a ballhandler for his size at this stage, with a growing ability to use his size to make plays for himself and others over the top of defenses. His growing skillset and quick-twitch athleticism allow him to be effective both in transition and the halfcourt. He's still learning to tap into his full potential at all times, but the increasing flashes are enough to point to a considerable upside with a couple more years of development ahead of him.     McKie jumps into the top 30 in this update but gets mentioned in this list more for the possibility that he continues to climb from here. The emerging guard has jumped from the JV team to a starting point guard role for an above-.500 Catholic League team. He's a dynamic 3-point shooter with deep range and a quick release while growing into both a ballhandling role and his rapidly-growing frame. McKie has tacked on at least a couple inches in the past year and is still in the infantile stages of adding weight or functional strength. With how quickly he's starting to develop, and bloodlines heavily in his favor, the upside could ultimately land him much higher than here if he continues to mature in both his game and body.     The flashes were there last year for Turner, who played a starting role for Carroll but could often get lost in the shuffle with multiple nationally-ranked recruits ahead of him in the lineup, and had his fair share of freshman moments. With several transfers out of the program and a noteworthy physical jump since then, Turner has shown he not only belongs at this level but stands out, earning him more than a 30-spot jump in this edition of the rankings. He's a shifty ballhandler who creates advantages at the point of attack and shows increasing comfort as a finisher both at the rim and with a deep floater package. Turner is still in the early stages of filling out his body but has emerged as a bona fide D1 prospect with some upside if he continues to develop at this same rate.
