2025 Rankings Update: Notable New Additions (Part: 3)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1577950' first='Blake' last='Marshall'] - Pine Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1577950' first='Blake' last='Marshall'] is a big guard who plays good basketball. Blake is a team-first player and brings great energy for his team. He shows promise when attacking closeouts and does a good job moving without the ball to find three-point shots and layups around the rim. Blake primarily creates for himself by moving off the ball I am interested to see how the youngan will grow his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1792207' first='Hayes' last='Gatlin'] - Basalt</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hayes is a big shooter who has some high upside. He is still raw but moves very well for a 6'6 wing. Here's some more about him from the Underclassmen Prospect: New Names <a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/03/underclassmen-prospect-camp-new-names/">https://prephoops.com/2023/03/underclassmen-prospect-camp-new-names/</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1848546' first='Josh' last='Kotto'] - Sand Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1848546' first='Josh' last='Kotto'] is a small scoring guard who can reign in points. Josh has very deep shooting range and can shoot off the catch or the dribble. He uses quick crossovers and a variety of moves to get to his jump shot. Josh has a crafty handle on the ball allowing him to get to short-range jumpers and floaters. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1848634' first='Chase' last='Manzini'] - Thompson Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1848634' first='Chase' last='Manzini'] is a combo guard who can play both guard roles effectively. Chase has a smooth jump shot that he gets to off the catch or coming off screens as the primary ballhandler. He does a good job creating contact and putting defenders on his hip. Chase is a good guard to keep an eye in this class, he and [player_tooltip player_id='1369789' first='Brady' last='Kennison'] will be a good backcourt once again next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1848635' first='John' last='Backhaus'] - Windsor</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1848635' first='John' last='Backhaus'] is a knockdown shooter who had a big role in helping Windsor make a final-four appearance. John has good instincts coming off of screens and moving off of the ball to get open. He has a consistent shooting stroke and a quick trigger on his shot. He has also shown potential attacking closeouts to get downhill. John does a good job using pro hops to get around defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1717269' first='Moses' last='West'] - Mountain Range</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1717269' first='Moses' last='West'] is a big guard who shows flashes of high upside. Moses stands at 6'2 and is a talented scorer. He can make shots from deep range and can go on hot streaks filling up the score sheet. Moses has good instincts jumping passing lanes and is a solid rebounder for a guard. I will be interested to see how his decision-making develops as he continues his career, he seems to be a natural on the court, he has a lot of potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
