Updated 2028 Rankings: New Faces (Part 3)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We recently updated our 2028 class rankings, looking at 70 of the top sophomores in the state of Virginia. Here's a look at part three of of the new players in the updated rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#47) [player_tooltip player_id='2919978' first='Declan' last='Conley'] | 6'4” CG | Potomac School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Conley has had a great start to the season for Potomac School as a key contributor off the bench, and he's looking like one of their key pieces moving forward as he continues to learn and improve. Already standing 6'4” he has great positional size and uses it to see over defenders and deliver passes on point, he's a good shooter from deep and off the catch, and as he grows into his body he'll get quicker and more explosive for sure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#49) [player_tooltip player_id='2548307' first='Logan' last='Brooks'] | 6'2” SF | Evergreen Christian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2548554,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageLdunFx.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageLdunFx.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2548554" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brooks transferred to Evergreen from John Paul the Great where he reclassified to the 2028 class, and since he was already so young it should be a good move as he's likely still growing and will allow him to catch up to the older competition. The 6'2” wing competes on both ends of the floor and brings great energy when he's on the floor, he can knock down shots and works well to create for himself and others, he has a good IQ as a playmaker, and he does a lot of the little things to keep him on the floor and help his team win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#54) [player_tooltip player_id='3319022' first='Bennett' last='Friday'] | 6'6” PF | Freeman</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Friday has been one of the breakout players in the Richmond area so far this season, and he's a player who is very intriguing because he already has great size and has a budding skillset in a number of ways. Friday clearly has a ways to go but what he does have is a great in between game with touch in the 8-15 feet range, he has shown the ability to stretch the floor out to the three point line, and he plays with a great motor hitting the glass and competing on the defensive end too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#61) [player_tooltip player_id='2957395' first='Yamanuel' last='Agonafir'] | 6'5” SF | Justice</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Agonafir is still a developing prospect, but he has a lot of the intangibles you look for in a raw prospect who will only get better as he moves forward. The 6'5” wing has a good build with long arms and he does a good job contesting shots on the perimeter and around the rim, he works well off the bounce and does a good job attacking mismatches, and he plays really hard on the floor which leads one to think he works really hard on his game as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#67) [player_tooltip player_id='2961280' first='Dylan' last='Fick'] | 5'9” PG | South County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fick may not be the biggest player right now, but he's very advanced in his skillset and IQ as a young point guard and if the growth spurt comes he'll be a guy to keep an eye on. The 5'9” lead guard handles pressure well and stays out of traps, he makes great reads in transition and in ball screens, he's a crafty finisher in the midrange, and he can knock it down from deep to keep defenses honest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
