We Run the City: Big Time Next Up Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every season brings new challenges and new roles. Some players are stepping into lead roles, some players are expanding their roles and others continue to build on their skill sets while contributing to the overall mission of winning games. Each of these players are bracing for a new role. Some bigger than others, but each equally important to the team concept. Here are some next up prospects that will shape the future of the Louisiana hoops recruiting landscape. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3681591"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa387c162bea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3681591' first='Ferrari' last='Haynes'] is a player that I have only watched a couple times and he made a huge impression. He went from unranked to a top 75 player in one weekend. He has all the tools with the personality on the court to help turn Pineville into a dangerous team. Be on the lookout for this throwback guard to see if he can continue his ascension in the Louisiana hoops landscape.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3669669"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa387c162c32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3669669' first='Joseph' last='Sarpy'] caught my attention at a tournament in Ruston and understanding that it is not easy to break into the NCHS rotation as an underclassman I did not intend to see much of him on the Varsity stage. A year later and some inches grown, Sarpy could be an impact player for upcoming season. He is a clear knock down shooter with great moves in the open court and could grab some minutes this upcoming season. Regardless, his first impression was a lasting impression, and he could start his climb in the rankings by grabbing Varsity burn.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2132736"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa387c162c55"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2132736' first='Chase' last='Barker'] is back with a chip on his shoulder and after a summer of hard work his senior season could be epic. He is a prototypical college level guard. He is a savvy point guard with a high IQ and a serving hoop spirit. On the other hand, if you don't play him honest, he could be a punisher offensively and get hot quickly from mid-range and beyond. Barker will play high level college basketball but first, he will take on his final season showcasing his full spectrum of skills and leadership to guide his team to post-season glory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2895029"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa387c162c74"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3566678' first='Bryson' last='James'] is one of the biggest and most recognizable athletes in the state. He is loaded with potential and is taking the steady path to development. Every time I see the kid, he adds another dimension to his game. Locking in on the intangibles, learning how to play with guards and using his size to affect the game whether the ball is in his hands or not. He was impressive at the PrepHoops showcase and continues to show promise. The gentle giant has immense upside, and is not rushing the process, he is trusting the process. He will be a big piece for Edna Karr this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532109"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aa387c162c91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2532109' first='Teriyl' last='Matthews'] is one of those energy kids that has what it takes for next level success. He is hard working, skilled and embraces his role in every hoop situation. This season he could land himself in another supportive role, but it will be important. Prep will be looking for a knock down shooter to stretch the floor and even though he has slasher tendencies, he can knock down the long ball. Madison Prep is deep, so he will have to make the most of his opportunities, and that will all feed into the time when he takes the reigns. Patience will be key for him as he continues to play winning basketball and expand his quickly developing skills.&nbsp;<br><br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brick by brick each these players is building their game.
