<p>The new 2021 rankings are out.</p>
<p>This season ended up being a short AIA season, a full Grind Session season, a condensed CAA season and a longer AAU season with showcase formats.</p>
<p>This 2021 class has met every obstacle possible and many are still looking for their next spots after HS. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We look at the Top-10 PG’s in the 2021 class:</p>
<p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="703792" first="Tyrone" last="Washington"] <strong>Compass Prep</strong></p>
<p>-A rare Top-50 unsigned player. He has guided his team to the Geico Nationals and not many have played better in the entire country. </p>
<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="811095" first="Jayden" last="Nunn"] <strong>Dream City </strong></p>
<p>-Another rare unsigned top player. I personally feel he is one of the most underrated players in the country. He can do it all. </p>
<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="874188" first="Javon" last="Small"] <strong>Compass Prep (Pictured) </strong></p>
<p>-The <strong>East Carolina</strong> commit has been terrific next to Ty Ty all year. His defense and distributing the ball has been top notch. </p>
<p>4. [player_tooltip player_id="885820" first="Jalen" last="Scott"] <strong>Paradise Honors </strong></p>
<p>-The <strong>Colorado State</strong> commit is the top passer in the AIA and was my Co-POY in 4A. He makes next level passes look easy and his shooting has dramatically improved in the last year. </p>
<p>5. [player_tooltip player_id="590836" first="Justus" last="Jackson"] <strong>Edupirze </strong></p>
<p>-An athletic scorer and passer had a good season despite getting injured during the Grind Session. He is deciding which school to play for next year. </p>
<p>6. [player_tooltip player_id="809688" first="Brett" last="Hardt Jr"] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p>
<p>-The <strong>DePaul</strong> commit has a great feel for the game and had many big time games during the long season in the Grind Session. </p>
<p>7. [player_tooltip player_id="611407" first="Simon" last="Wheeler"] <strong>Bella Vista Prep</strong></p>
<p>-An <strong>IUPUI</strong> commit should be phenomenal there. He has speed on speed and can score it. Arguably the flashiest player in the state. </p>
<p>8. [player_tooltip player_id="809703" first="Derick" last="Kaps"] <strong>Highland </strong></p>
<p>-A very athletic two-way player can make plays and he's another who has improved his jumper as well. Kaps will be taking a post grad year at Phillips Exeter on the East Coast. </p>
<p>9. [player_tooltip player_id="809681" first="Keiren" last="Brown"] <strong>St Mary’s </strong></p>
<p>-A physical PG uses his body and frame getting downhill and is a good passer. He can make a catch-3 plus post up opposing guards. He holds multiple D2 offers. </p>
<p>10. [player_tooltip player_id="809680" first="Ricardo" last="Sarmiento"] <strong>Phhoenix Prep</strong></p>
<p>-The <strong>Western New Mexico</strong> commit is a shot maker and tough on-ball defender. His pull-up is legit and he extended his range. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>5 Others:</p>
<p>1. [player_tooltip player_id="932093" first="John" last="Gaines"] <strong>Glenview College Prep </strong></p>
<p>-A speedy ball handler with good athleticism is garnering D1-D2 interest. An exciting player in the open court can throw it down and score it on many ways. </p>
<p>2. [player_tooltip player_id="809730" first="Tony" last="Elliott Jr"] <strong>Desert Mountain </strong></p>
<p>-A long and lean athletic PG was impressive all year long in the AIA. His bounce, size and skill improved in the last year but his passing makes his game go. </p>
<p>3. [player_tooltip player_id="809699" first="Carson" last="Kelly"] <strong>Chandler </strong></p>
<p>-An undersized yo-yo handle scoring lead guard is a fun watch. He can score it on all levels and is tougher then he appears. </p>
<p>4. [player_tooltip player_id="703811" first="Jason" last="Kimbrough Jr"] <strong>Mountain Pointe </strong></p>
<p>-A fast two-way guard can score it and has one of the best floaters in the class. He can shoot it, defend it and pass it. </p>
<p>5. [player_tooltip player_id="932153" first="Chianti" last="Clay Jr"] <strong>Hillcrest Prep</strong></p>
<p>-Another undersized guard with volleyball line 3pt range. He has a shifty handle and gets hot in a blink of an eye. </p>
