Prep Hoops National Ranking: 48th   Next highest National Ranking: 56th 247   Julius had a strong session I with the Georgia Stars 16 U group that is one of the most talented 16 U teams in the country. Going 4-0 last weekend in their home state, Julius led EYBL 16 U Session I in rebounding and was second in blocked shots. Julius is a force on the interior with the ability to throw down two hand jams at the rim, score with layups through contact, grab offensive rebounds and block shots. Julius does a lot of the things college basketball teams are looking for their bigs to do right now so his archetype is extremely valuable at the moment.     Prep Hoops National Ranking: 53rd   Next highest National Ranking: 72nd   Archbold is a high flying wing prospect who has drawn high praise with both Blair Academy and New Heights on the 3SSB circuit. Archbold was named a standout by Pro Insight from last weekend out in California and projects as a potential 3-and-D wing at the college level. Playing on extremely talented high school and grassroots teams, you've gotten to see Archbold take pride in his defense as he's been filling a role as a complimentary scorer and not forcing the issue offensively with bad shots. Archbold's only posted offer is from Syracuse's old staff but I'm confident that will change quickly after the spring and summer live periods.     Prep Hoops National Ranking: 57th   Next highest National Ranking: 63rd Rivals   Already a two-time state champion, Zeigler is an extremely talented combo guard who has been on Prep Hoops radar since he dominated at the Freshman showcase a little under two years ago. Zeigler is an elite shooter who has the athleticism to play above the rim and create space off the dribble. With more talent on his Indy Heat squad this season, Zeigler will be expected to help lead them to a Peach Jam run after the program won the championship at the 16 U level last season. Already being pursued by high major programs, Zeigler holds offers to Ohio State, Nebraska and Creighton.     Prep Hoops National Ranking: 59th   Next highest National Ranking: Rivals 91st   I got to see Johnson at EYBL Session I and he stood out with his high activity level from the wing position. A very aggressive player, Johnson seeks out contact on both ends of the court and wants to use his frame to gain an advantage on the defense. Finishing fourth in EYBL Session I at the 16 U level in scoring, Johnson's motor and aggression helps him score a majority of his points. One of a handful of players ranked from New Jersey in our national 2028 rankings, Johnson is a headline name from one of the best classes in years from the Garden State.     Prep Hoops National Ranking: 70th   Next highest National Ranking: 99th Rivals   First in our Prep Hoops rankings for 2028 from Wisconsin, Knueppel leads a deep Team Herro squad that has six of the top eight prospects from the state. With the last name Knueppel you know he's going to be an impressive shooter and his high school Sophomore year stats don't lie with 10.3 PPG 4.5 RPG and 3.5 APG on 47.3% from 3-point range and a 73.9% TS according to Wisconsin Lutheran's twitter page. With his positional size, experience and shot-making ability, it's surprising Knueppel hasn't appeared higher on other national rankings.     Prep Hoops National Ranking: 73rd   Next highest National Ranking: 93rd Rivals   One of the biggest prospects nationally in the 2028 class, Malukila takes up a lot of space on the interior. The big fella was a standout for New Heights 15 U on the 3SSB circuit last summer and now takes his talents to New Levels Philly where he projects to be one of the dominant big men on the New Balance Circuit. With a player of Malukila's size, it's tough to keep him off the glass and front him to prevent him from catching, turning and scoring at the rim. Defenders also need to be aware when Malukila is rim running because he is not afraid to put one on your head. Another talented New Jersey 2028 prospect.
