<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our <a href="https://prephoops.com/virginia/rankings/virginia-high-school-boys-basketball-2029-class-player-rankings/" data-type="link" data-id="https://prephoops.com/virginia/rankings/virginia-high-school-boys-basketball-2029-class-player-rankings/">Updated 2029 Rankings</a> have expanded to include 100 players in the sophomore class. Camps, showcases and tournaments during June and July provided plenty of opportunties for our staff to evaluate prospects from around the state. Here is a closer look at a handful of the biggest stock risers in a talented group of future college prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3538924"],"_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-6a7f1822359fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson recently made the move to STAB after a successful summer that saw him move in the top 15 of our updated rankings. The sophomore played "up" on the 16u level with Local Legends and displayed his versatility at the offensive end. He is capable of playing all three perimeter positions and has good length and above average athleticism. Robinson moves well without the ball, is an improving perimeter shot maker and can be a secondary ball handler and decision maker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3539420"],"_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-6a7f182235aab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This sophomore wing moved up almost 20 spots in our new 2029 rankings. Mattison is a skilled wing with positional size. He is a shooting threat from beyond the arc and also has the offensive versatility to score in the midrange. Mattison is in an effective rebounder from the perimeter and is a prospect to watch heading into the 2026-27 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3669306"],"_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-6a7f1f8608197"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brandon helped lead DC Assault to a 15u championship on the New Balance P32 circuit. He is a quick, shifty lead guard who is very difficult for defenders to keep out of the paint. The sophomore has a great command of the basketball and is capable of being both a scorer and distributor. He has impressive court vision and is a reliable decision maker as a lead guard prospect in the 2029 recruiting class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2733205"],"_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-6a7f1f86081d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ferrell moved into our Top 50 of our updated rankings after a productive June live recruiting period. A sophomore prospect with positional size, above average athleticism and the ability to score at all three levels at the offensive end, Ferrell is a high academic prospect that looks like he has the ability to continue his ascension in the 2029 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3539440"],"_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-6a7f1f8608200"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another prospect who was part of the P32 championship DC Assault team, Nwosu is an intriguing frontcourt prospect. The sophomore has good touch in the paint, impressive foot work and the ability to make an open midrange jump shot. He rebounds his area and can alter shots around the rim. He is another 2029 prospect who has the potential to continue his move up the rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
