2029 Initial Rankings: Players Ranked 51-60

Henderson didn't get any varsity run as a freshman for Carlisle, but he's a fun young guard who handles it well, can play on or off the ball, and he doesn't fold under pressure. He's comfortable handling the ball against constant on-ball pressure and does a nice job setting up his teammates. He should become a big piece for the Wildcats in the coming years as a primary playmaker and on-ball defender.     At this stage in his development, Markun is a bit more of an interior presence than a wing, but he could develop into a nice wing piece for the Warriors over the next three years. He has good size and length, is a steady, consistent presence on the glass, and he finishes well around the bucket.     Maya is a hyper-athletic, quick guard who can attack the rim off the dribble and finish through contact at the rim. He's a tough on-ball defender with great lateral quickness, quick hands, and he takes pride in his work on that end of the floor.     Mansaray is a strong, athletic guard who can defend one through four at the high school level. He uses his length well, contesting shots and getting into passing lanes, and he's a really good communicator on the defensive end. Offensively, he can attack the rim off the dribble and use his strength to finish through contact.     Houselog was productive as a freshman, averaging 8.1 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. His scoring output was second on the team, and he should become a double-figure scorer as a sophomore. He can score from all three levels, with a quick release off the catch and the ability to play downhill.     Porter is a high IQ two-way guard who defends at a high level, can knock down shots from distance off the catch, and has some potential as a secondary ball-handler and playmaker. His biggest asset at this stage is his ability to defend on the ball, moving his feet well and showcasing quick hands on that end of the floor, but he can also shoot at a high level.     An off-ball guard with a quick release off the catch, Schmidt has the potential to be one of the best shooters in the 2029 class. He moves really well without the ball in his hands and does a great job getting his feet set on the catch, ready to fire in the blink of an eye.     Stork didn't get any varsity run on a loaded Kuemper team as a freshman, but he was one of the standouts at our Freshman Showcase last fall. A talented lefty guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands, he can attack the rim off the bounce, is strong in the mid-range, and is a creative playmaker who sees the floor well. The Knights bring back a lot of talent, but there are still plenty of minutes to go around this winter and Stork could step into some of them.     Ragar was one of the most productive freshmen in the state last season, averaging 14.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.0 steals per game for the Crusaders. An athletic guard who puts constant pressure on opposing teams with his speed and toughness, he's a talented playmaker who sees the floor well, finishes well at the rim, and is fantastic on the glass.     Another part of a deep, talented 2029 class at Norwalk, Hammond is a versatile two-way wing who can score from all three levels, create plays for his teammates off the dribble, and he's a solid defender who utilizes his length well on that end of the floor. He's an intelligent player who rotates well defensively and keeps the ball moving on the offensive end of the floor.
