Spring Rankings Update: 2029 Stock-Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Om top of the newer names we're tracking, a handful of prospects already on our radar jumped up over the arc of the season. Here are five:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3288756"],"_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-69f43d7eb8a07"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In the program's first season under Coach Pat Woods, Tucker led the Royals in points, assists, and steals and to an ESIAC championship. The budding floor general was the straw that stirred the Royals' drink on offense, showcasing his skill moving defenders with his eyes and running an offense. So even though Tucker plays down in Sussex County, his instincts as a two-way playmaker make him one of the best guards in his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2867568"],"_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-69f43d7eb8a78"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Once Hackett grabbed hold of a spot in the Hawks' rotation, he didn't let go. His presence on the floor automatically improved the spacing because he was willing and able to catch-and-shoot from anywhere or keep the ball moving when he wasn't open. With his even-keel demeanor, Hacket also scrapped in other areas of the game, whether he was winning a 50/50 ball or making a spontaneous play on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2813935"],"_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-69f43d7eb8ac4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On a team with great floor-spacing, Deadwyler made his mark on the defensive side and as the backup point guard. He would disrupt plays at the point-of-attack on one end and then conduct the Spartans' offense when the starting PG was off the floor. But no matter who Deadwyler was out there with, he was prepared to drill a couple threes of his own. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2897864"],"_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-69f43d7eb8b07"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A newer school with an even younger team, many may not have paid attention to the Wolves, but Santiago certainly put on a show every chance he got. The long-range jumper was his weapon of choice, able to shoot with a quick release, with versatility, and at a high clip. Outside of the occasional two-point bucket, Santiago devastated defenses from three by pulling up from deep and/or by running off of screens, including a few in the clutch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2836619"],"_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-69f43d7eb8b58"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making waves all season long, Green was a catalyst for the Dragons, especially on the offensive end. Depending what the defense gave him, he regularly scored off-the-dribble and around the basket or hit a barrage of triples. And when that wasn't enough to ignite his team, Green brought a spark to his team on defense as he averaged more than two steals per game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
