<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #6</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Joshua is a crafty and exciting point guard, as he is shifty with the rock and plays with an advanced feel for the position. He balances scoring and facilitating, plays with poise, and his ability to get downhill and create paint touches makes him a constant threat. As his decision-making continues to improve, look for him to emerge as one of the top floor generals in the class.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Cannon Combs</strong> (6'8/PF/'29/Gardendale)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Cannon1.showtime</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @cannon1showtime</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #7</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Cannon is a high-upside big with a developing all-around game. His size, length, and soft hands make him a force on the glass, and he showed noticeable growth this summer in his ability to guard in space. With good touch around the rim and improving agility, he is quickly becoming one of the most intriguing long-term prospects in the class.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2526337' first='Jersey' last='Farbes']</strong> (6'0/PG/'29/Prattville)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Jersey_Dimes12</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #8</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jersey is a true leader and high-level competitor. He creates for himself and others at a high level, demonstrates court vision, and plays with poise that exceed his age. The coaching staff at Prattville rave about his coachability, ability to absorb instruction, and execute under pressure. He is set to start at the PG spot on varsity as a freshman, and he will be the engine that drives his team.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Cameron Haygood</strong> (6'5/SF/'29)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: cameron_haygood_</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #9</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Cam is a long, athletic lefty, and one of the most efficient finishers in the class. He uses his size and body control to score thru or over defenders. Defensively, his length disrupts passing lanes and shot attempts, while his offensive game continues to expand. As his perimeter skills round out, Haygood will become even more dangerous.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2619681' first='Tory' last='Smith']</strong> (6'0/PG/'29/Briarwood Christian)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ToryHoops</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @ToryHoops</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #10</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Tory is a skilled and poised point guard who shows significant potential in a true lead guard role. He has good ball-handling, court vision, and a strong sense of floor awareness. He does a good job organizing the offense, getting teammates into their spots, and managing the flow of the game, traits coaches are closely watching for players at the lead guard position. He plays with composure beyond his years and makes really good reads that speak to his developing basketball IQ.</p>
