2029 Rankings Update: Biggest Stock Risers

Take a closer look at some of the top 2029 prospects that increased their stock this summer from the 804. These players continued to make a name for themselves all summer long and showed their long-term potential to be valuable pieces for college programs moving forward. We look forward to tracking them throughout this high school season.    [player_tooltip player_id='2767487' first='King' last='Bacot'] has had a lot of eyes on him for years now, and each year he hasn't disappointed with production. He is a smooth operator, a 6'3 Point Guard who excels at controlling the tempo and pace of the game as the lead guard. He has improved as a decision maker and sharpshooter. He uses his length well to create his own shot or to get downhill and maneuver around the defense to create for himself or for others. He had a strong summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2226307' first='Team' last='Loaded VA'] 3SSB, where the 15U team won the national championship, and he was the MVP in that matchup for his strong performance throughout the weekend. As he continues to develop and get stronger, keep an eye on him as a high-major Division 1 prospect.     [player_tooltip player_id='3538906' first='Niles' last='Mason'] is my personal favorite player I have covered this summer, and it's easy to see why. He has a relentless motor that simply helps his team win games down the stretch. Niles is a 6'6 wing who excels at getting to the rim in transition or off the dribble. He plays beyond his years by using his length, athleticism, and physicality to his advantage. He has improved his efficiency from beyond the arc and established himself as a mismatch nightmare for opponents because he has the ability to score from anywhere. What stands out to me most about his game is his ability to defend any position, whether it be a post player or a guard; he is quick enough to stay with guards and physical enough to guard bigger players. Every time he steps on the court, he leaves it all on the court, and he will have a very strong sophomore year for The Steward School.     [player_tooltip player_id='3538911' first='Kane' last='Winiarski'] is one of the best shooters on the East Coast, hands down, and has really improved as a ball-handler. He will have a pivotal role for Trinity this year as the lead guard and one of the main offensive creators. Kane has really made a name for himself since transferring to Trinity last year and playing with [program_tooltip program_id='2226307' first='Team' last='Loaded VA'] 3SSB. He is beginning to look like a long-term Division 1 prospect with loads of potential. Be on the lookout for him to be one of the top Prep League players this season.     [player_tooltip player_id='3538924' first='Jeremiah' last='Robinson'], a 6'5 Guard/Wing, just transferred to St. Anne's-Belfield from Trinity and will add versatility to the STAB squad, which was heavily reliant on [player_tooltip player_id='1574509' first='Jayden' last='Brown'], the leading scorer in the Virginia Prep League last season. Jeremiah will add elite shot-making ability, length, and athleticism on both sides of the ball. He is known for his 3-point shooting ability, but he is also a very good defender, using his length to disrupt the opposing team's best ball-handlers. He had a strong summer with Local Legends this summer and is looking to carry that momentum into his sophomore campaign at his new school.
