2025 Rankings: Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 330 players, there are bound to be players that saw their rankings drop, but also players that saw their stock rise.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were 55 new players and here are some of the stock risers. We actually had probably close to 25 players that saw their stock rise but&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are the 10-top stock risers since March:&nbsp;</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2302768' first='Hayden' last='Stebbins'] <strong>Notre Dame Prep</strong> +61 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The biggest stock riser is due for a breakout year. They lost a D1 player to Stanford and a couple others transferred out opening the door for Stebbins. He proved with the Team USA trip vs the UK that he is a top notch catch and shoot three point shooter with a stronger frame and big IQ. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1285934' first='Zaire' last='Richardson'] <strong>AZ Compass Prep Grind</strong> +43</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The San Tan Charter transfer has been playing well recently and finished strong in club basketball, and on top of that, he won the 2A state championship. He is a confident scorer from all levels and has become stronger and can make plays for his teammates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2339090' first='Trevion' last='Ziaire Turman'] <strong>West Point </strong>+39</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The versatile wing forward should have a big year in the West Valley. He plays and defends multiple positions plus uses a big motor to compete. He will score in transition and hit the three. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1770292' first='Malaki' last='Garnica'] <strong>Brophy Prep </strong>+37 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A combo guard who is getting his chance now to shine on varsity. Always a deep roster full of talent have to wait their turn and Malaki should have a big year. He can shoot it from the perimeter, get downhill and he can really defend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2326931' first='Matt' last='Quinlan'] <strong>Rancho Solano Prep</strong> +35</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A combo guard with big confidence to score from all levels. He has a very mature game with a polished mid-range jumper and range on his three point shot. He has some shift with his handle and a huge moxie to play in every game. He is taking an official visit to NYU. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1540144' first='Quintin' last='Ragland'] <strong>Premier Prep </strong>+21</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A tough two-way shooting guard can defend every perimeter position. He is very physical and uses his length to keep opponents in front of him. He can get to the rim or shoot it from mid to the three with more consistency. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1950665' first='Hyrum' last='Donaldson'] <strong>Cibola</strong> +19</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big man broke out at Section-7 and at the Southwest Basketball Camp. He is all of six-foot ten and has a plus wingspan to rebound and block shots in bunches. He scores it inside with dunks, some counter moves and hook shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1680984' first='Kaleb' last='Conley'] <strong>Boulder Creek</strong> +19</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another that had to wait his turn in a deep 6A program. He has grown a little but his skill is polishing up at the right time for his senior season. He can score getting to the basket or shooting it from both perimeter levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2136460' first='Landon' last='Christensen'] <strong>Ben Franklin</strong> +19</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized scoring guard has a consistent shooting stroke from the three point line. He is more confident than a year ago and should have a huge season with the smaller school in the East Valley. He can ball fake and get to the basket and he will always play the right way and move the ball or cut when he should. When he is open, he'll knock down the jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1150825' first='Iyayi' last='Osunde'] <strong>Bella Vista Prep </strong>+18</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A true two-way guard is your classic 3 and D type. He gets under your skin when he defends you with his very long arms and quicker feet. His lateral quickness stands out and he has a nice shooting stroke. He can also get downhill in the half court set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
