2029 Rankings: Players to Keep An Eye On

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We just updated our 2029 rankings this week and while there have been several articles put out about those rankings, we haven't talked about one thing. Which players outside the top 10 could see their stock take off over the next few months before our next update? Here's a look at some players outside the top 10 who could break into the the top of the class in the near future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2920732"],"_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-697d363adf249"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most effective scorers in this class right now. Withrow is capable of scoring 20+ in any game and is a very efficient scorer. Matt is at his best when attacking and getting downhill. An excellent finisher, Withrow is strong and capable of bullying opposing defenders and getting to the rim. When it comes to "getting stuff done", there are not 10 better players in the class, right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2906291"],"_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-697d363adf2f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peter has not played a ton of varsity for West Jessamine this season but he has been impressive in every camp setting I have seen him in. A big body who goes after the ball and rebounds at a high level, I've liked what I have seen from Patterson in the times I've seen him. Long term, Patterson has as much, or more upside than anyone in the class not name [player_tooltip player_id='2851845' first='Mason' last='Grivna'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2983291"],"_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-697d363adf36e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Huffman checks most of the same boxes as Patterson does as a long term prospect. Aaron is long and decently athletic. He's an advanced rim protector and looks like he could be 6'10 or taller before he's done growing. His stats are modest as a freshman but if you want a player who oozes "upside" and "potential", [player_tooltip player_id='2983291' first='Aaron' last='Huffman'] is a good choice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2525393"],"_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-697d363adf3f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm a big fan of Williams and think he would start at 90%+ of the schools in Kentucky (if not more). As a freshman, Eli is playing a role off the bench for Manual but should be an impact player as soon as his Sophomore campaign. Short term, Williams should be tested by playing on the Nike 15E circuit during AAU with Ohio based Bates Fundamentals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
