Hotter-Knight is another big man in this 2028 class who picked up his first D-I offer this spring, also from Cal State Northridge. The Garfield post has a big frame at 6-foot-9 and has shown some unique flashes of his ability to attack with the ball and be used in actions away from the hoop. He’s got enough of a handle to fake a handoff and get going downhill, and has started to take his time more while operating in close. It will be interesting to see how he continues to mature physically in his upcoming junior season.

North Central has yet another young, talented kid coming in with some length who could be the next guy up over there. He’s shown some real flashes for a kid his size, shooting, handling the ball, and even passing the rock, which makes him a pretty intriguing prospect. It may take some time for him to start making an impact but the skills he’s shown suggest he could end up being a wing/stretch four depending on how his physical tools come along.
