Last week we revamped our class of 2022 rankings with input from our staff members in the SoCal region. What came of those discussions was the most comprehensive and unbiased rankings in the Southern California area for rising juniors. This piece takes a look at lower ranked players who have a chance to rise in our next update, based on the expectation that there will at least be a high school season in 2020-2021.
Kaih WilliamsKaihWilliams6'1" | SFSt. Anthony | 2022State, St. Anthony - The 5-foot-10 shooting guard, currently slotted at 55, put together a strong season for the Saints as he came off the bench as a spark-plug perimeter shooter who filled it up from deep in a hurry. With team leading scorer Jadon JonesJadonJones6'4" | SFSt. Anthony | 2020State heading to Long Beach State next season, more shots will open up, and Williams is the type of kid who will go and take them.

Ramsey HuffRamseyHuff6'1" | CGCorona Centennial | 2022State, Corona Centennial - Our 58th ranked player made his impact as a defensive specialist during his sophomore season. The 6-foot-1 guard started a handful of games, but carved out an important role off the bench for the Huskies as a player who provided ball pressure and forced opponents into untimely turnovers, which Centennial converted into high percentage buckets.
Vincent BerlucchiVincentBerlucchi6'6" | SFSanta Fe Christian | 2022State, Santa Fe Christian - Berlucchi checks in at No. 60 in our most recent update and his size, skill-set and versatility make us think he’s primed for a big junior season. The 6-foot-6 forward has some inside-out scoring ability, competes on the offensive and defensive boards and just makes a lot of things happen with his high energy play.
Damian RuizDamianRuiz6'2" | SGMurrieta Valley | 2022State, Murrieta Valley - Ruiz had a big sophomore season in the scoring column, dropping a team-high 18.8 points per game and hitting a team-best 74 three-pointers at a 36 percent clip. We only saw a handful of games from our 74th ranked prospect, but with the graduation of talented point guard
Jordan MontgomeryJordanMontgomery6'1" | PGMurrieta Valley | 2020State, Ruiz should have even more opportunity to put his stamp on the offense.
Landon LewisLandonLewis6'6" | PFHarvard-Westlake | 2022State, Harvard-Westlake - A little extra opportunity could go a long way for a prospect like Lewis, a 6-foot-7 forward who oozes potential. The Wolverines graduated three starters from an Open Division team, one of them being 6-foot-10 center
Mason HooksMasonHooks6'10" | CHarvard-Westlake | 2020State#271Nation, so Lewis’ size and length could be of value to head coach David Rebibo.
