Remember, these are not player rankings but how much they impact their team along with the talent they go against during the season.
Here are the next eight:
Jeremiah Cherry Jeremiah Cherry 6'9" | C St. Mary's | 2022 State AZ (St. Mary’s) (Pictured)
-A beast inside one of the deeper teams in the state will be a problem. Blocking shots, rebounding and scoring.
Amarei Hunter Amarei Hunter 6'2" | SG Desert Edge | 2021 State AZ (Desert Edge)
-A 3 and D type should get a little better for the older 4A team.
Justin Shorts Justin Shorts 6'3" | SF Glenview Prep | 2022 State AZ (Millennium)
-Two guards graduate and Shorts will step in and shine with his strength and scoring.
Nikko Pentelute Nikko Pentelute 6'1" | CG Gilbert | 2022 State AZ (Gilbert)
-Similar situation, as the Tigers lose three stud senior guards. In comes a strong scorer and competitor.
Michael Dienes Michael Dienes 6'6" | PF Rancho Solano Prep | 2022 State AZ (Rancho Solano Prep)
-Graduating three heavy hitters with Hunter Ruck Hunter Ruck 6'9" | PF Rancho Solano Prep | 2020 State #484 Nation AZ , Tyson Legner Tyson Legner 6'2" | SG Rancho Solano Prep | 2020 State AZ and his older brother James Dienes James Dienes 6'4" | SF Rancho Solano Prep | 2020 State AZ , will lead to a golden opportunity to make some noise in 2A. He could be one of the top scorers in the conference.
Tanner Crawford Tanner Crawford 6'7" | PF Mesa | 2021 State AZ (Mesa)
-A big east valley transfer from Williams Field should help the Jackrabbits immensely in the paint on both ends of the court.
Coleman Fields Coleman Fields 6'4" | SG Millennium | 2021 State AZ (Millennium)
-Like Shorts, Fields will be given a big chance to contribute like he did his first two seasons. He took a step back behind older players, but look for him to rebound with stronger play!
Ashton Earl Ashton Earl 6'6" | PF American Leadership Academy-Queen Creek | 2022 AZ (ALA-QC)
-A little unknown post player is strong and rebounds like a man possessed. He can score it with his back to the basket, and the Patriots will need that added muscle to play in the 4A this season.
