2022 Rankings: Contenders

<p>South Florida is well represented in our 2022 rankings. <strong>Calvary Christian</strong> forward <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="712107" first="Taylor" last="Hendricks"]</strong> is rated in our (1) spot at No. 17.</p> <p>Hendricks, as I’ve iterated, is one of the best two-way players in the region.</p> <p>Can anyone challenge him as the best South Florida player in this class?</p> <p>Here are my thoughts...</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="955771" first="Andrew" last="Akuchie"] (PH. 33) - <em>St. Thomas Aquinas</em></p> <p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="955771" first="Andrew" last="Akuchie"] has a similar frame to Hendricks. The 6-foot-8 forward is a solid stretch four that can put the ball on the deck and finish at the rim. The Rice commit has the reach to block shots and athleticism to grab rebounds. Could be a bit underrated given St. Thomas Aquinas is more know as a football school.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="955774" first="Kolby" last="King"]</strong> - <em>Pembroke Pines Charter (PH. 29)</em></p> <p>King has a championship level pedigree after helping the Jaguars win a 5A state championship. The <strong>St. John’s</strong> commit averaged a team best 16.1 points per game. King has a ton of speed and elusiveness to get to the tin. The 6-foot guard plays well in the halfcourt and can change direction in an instant. King is also a better rebounder than you might think.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1062414" first="Edward" last="Nnamoko"]</strong> - <em>Riviera Prep (PH. 35)</em></p> <p>"Big Ed" lives up to his namesake on the court. The 6-foot-10 power forward is incredibly strong and plays with toughness. Nnamoko has solid touch and can score going from his left or right around the paint. I still think he has more offensive upside, which is scary for opponents. His frame gives him a huge advantage to force his opponent off his position. Deflections and rejections are sure to come of it.</p> <p>He holds offers from <strong>Longwood</strong>, <strong>Winthrop</strong>, <strong>Tulsa</strong>, <strong>Temple</strong>, <strong>Old Dominion</strong> and <strong>Samford</strong>.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="712115" first="Justin" last="Abson"]</strong> - <em>North Broward Prep (PH. 32)</em></p> <p>Abson has been so consistent in his time with North Broward Prep. The 6-foot-9 forward will average a double-double and add a handful of blocks. He plays very well with his back to the basket and has power to finish. Abson is a prospect you can rely on every night.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="814895" first="Gregg" last="Glenn"] - Calvary Christian Academy</p> <p>I’ve been rolling with Glenn since his sophomore year, so there’s no way I could leave him off. The 6-foot-7 forward has improved as a shooter from twelve feet out. His athleticism is elite and electric when left unguarded. Just watch Glenn in transition when he slams home a dunk. Glenn is a Michigan commit.  </p> <p>Others to consider:</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="712125" first="Kuran" last="Bryant"] - Miami High (PH. 70)</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="814912" first="Jimel" last="Lane"] - Miami Palmetto (PH. 51)</p> <p><em><strong>For any South Florida Prep Hoops news or information...please contact Michael Costeines @Steins_23 on Instagram or follow him on Twitter @Mungertown_Mike23.</strong></em></p>
