<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The rankings for the 2029 class is out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We only start off initially with 6 official players and at the end of October sometime we will finish them off followed by at the end of the AIA season bigger rankings. We now look at the other 28 players who are currently on the watch list. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here is the 2nd group of 9 players</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2533594' first='CJ' last='Johnson'] Desert Edge (Pictured)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top scoring point guards with some length and decent size. He shows he can run a team from day one with pace and poise for position. He will score it with perimeter jumpers and is quick to get to the basket with a burst and he can even throw it down on the break. The new era at DE starts with CJ. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2855911' first='Arash' last='Kharot'] AZ College Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The scoring point guard is skilled with an advanced feel. He understands how to change his speeds and has a polished jumper from mid-range to the three point line with range. He will also create some of his own offense and is already playing up in club basketball and holding his own.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2506518' first='Azariah' last='Reetz'] Sandra Day O'Connor</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and very athletic power forward is a fluid mover. He is one of the top athletes in the class that I am aware of and comes with size and length. He will throw it down way above the rim and score with hook shots, offensive rebound put backs and layups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2825980' first='Brexton' last='Quinet'] Notre Dame Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A skilled and cerebral scoring point guard. The southpaw can set the table with a good pace and smartly plays off of the pick and roll action perfectly. He finds the roller with his precise passing or if the defense gives him space, he will knock down the open jumper from mid to the three. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2808486' first='Cannon' last='Henderson'] AZ Compass Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long guard who can score and defend. He shows a motor to defend and he will play tough on-ball defense and will rebound better than most guards versus any size. He will score with pull-ups from mid-range and hit the three off the catch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2433288' first='Carmelo' last='Tillman'] Dysart</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An undersized scoring lead guard is another talented Tillman player. He may be small but he has a tight handle and he can shoot it from mid to the three point line off the catch or pull. He is quick enough to get into the paint and use the floater game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2734358' first='Cruz' last='Kazmierski'] Gilbert</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A good sized wing forward has a high feel for the game and can make plays for his teammates. He sees the court well but he can score it with mid-range pull-ups off the dribble and hit the three. He moves without the ball and plays from the neck up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2251690' first='Innocent' last='Onwo'] Mesa</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical framed scoring guard who can handle it and score. He rebounds well and will defend multiple positions on the floor. He likes getting downhill using his frame/build and scores thru the contact. He can also hit the jumper from deep. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2894935' first='Kendell' last='Stapleton'] Notre Dame Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fast pure point guard is another talented incoming freshman for the Saints. He is very fast with the ball in his hands and will jet past his initial defenders and get into the paint to then score or facilitate. He is also quick on the ball defensively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
