Updated 2028 Rankings: Top New Additions (Part 1)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Monday, we published our newly updated 2028 rankings. Over two dozen deserving prospects were added to the rankings. Here are some of the Top New Additions:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2852631' first='Zayden' last='Arellano'], Centennial</strong>: As Centennial's point guard, Arellano led the Hawks in assists while also contributing as a scorer and rebounder when called upon. Excellent free throw shooter, connecting on 77 percent of his FT in 2025-26. Helped Centennial capture the district championship. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3581634' first='Drew' last='Bramlett'], La Cueva</strong>: The 6-foot-3 Bramlett was already one of the top 2027 prospects in the state when he reclassified to 2028. So, it makes sense &nbsp;for him to near the top of the list. Talented combo guard who finished second in scoring on the Bears (9.0 ppg) along with averaging over two assists per game. Scorer and a playmaker. Already off to a solid start for ABC Spotlight on the spring/summer AAU circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3583283' first='Sullivan' last='McCartney'], Bosque</strong>: The 6-foot-1 McCartney contributed to Bosque's 19-win season by averaging about 5 points and 4 rebounds per game. Scored a season high 11 points against 4A Del Norte in January. Took advantage of his scoring opportunities, shooting 52 percent from the field. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2919518' first='Jordan' last='Rivera'], Cleveland</strong>: On a Storm team filled with stars, the 6-foot-4 Rivera held his own. His shining moment came in the semifinals of the Class 5A tournament when he scored a team-high 19 points, including four 3-pointers, and grabbed 10 rebounds for an impressive double-double at the Pit. Previously, he buried THREE 3-pointers in OT to beat rival Rio Rancho. Should have a prominent role on Cleveland in 2026-27. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2624844' first='Izayah' last='Sanchez'], Valley</strong>: Sanchez is a key part of a young and talented core of players for Valley. Sanchez led the Vikings in scoring at about 10 points per game. Scored 25 points against 5A Atrisco Heritage in January when he made 6-of-9 shots from the field and 11-of-12 free throws. Made 60 percent of his two-point shot attempts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Blessed to be named to 1st team all district and all state honorable mention. <br>Thank you to all that have helped me get to this point. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/moreworktobedone?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#moreworktobedone</a> <a href="https://t.co/okoEAiprhT">pic.twitter.com/okoEAiprhT</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='3581634' first='Drew' last='Bramlett'] (@DrewBramlett) <a href="https://twitter.com/DrewBramlett/status/2038743325201899972?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 30, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html -->
