2029 Rankings: High Potential Prospects Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a month left in their Freshman seasons, several players have emerged in this 2029 class over the last two months. On top of that, the class has a ton of depth across all positions. Especially in the back court. Here's a look at some players in this class who have a lot of long term potential but may not be seeing a lot of opportunity right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2897210"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697bc150a91a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collins is the heir apparent to Senior [player_tooltip player_id='1543633' first='Gavin' last='Murphy'] at the point guard spot for West Jess. Part of a loaded Sophomore class for the Colts, Solo is a quick guard who can get downhill and is a good shooter, too. His numbers are not going to blow anyone away because he's playing a small role at the varsity level but by this time next year, I expect Solo to be starting and putting up solid numbers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2983289"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697bc150a9234"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you're looking strictly at potential, Hayes is one of the tops in this class. Standing 6'7 and confident shooting out to the college three point line, JD has a very high prospect ceiling. While he needs to add some bulk to his wiry frame, Hayes is going to have a chance to be a big time difference maker for Montgomery County, long term.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381496"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697bc150a92a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the best pure shooters at our Freshman Expo back in the fall, Mason is part of a very talented Freshman class for Mayfield. Hopkins still has a lot of growing to do and will need to get active in the weight room this offseason but he's skilled and has a quick release on his shot. If he continues to develop his game and grows a little, Mason will be a difference maker in the first region. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3033113"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697bc150a930e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Levi is a long forward prospect who can play down low or out on the perimeter. Persley has a high prospect ceiling thanks to his measurables and his long term potential. Levi has seen the court in 5 varsity games this season for Manual and could be a starter the next 3 seasons. In the short term, if Persley bulks up, he could be one of the best 2029s in all of Louisville.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
