Time to revisit the Class of 2022 rankings and adjust to account for the player’s growth or stagnation. Rankings are subjective and PrepHoops.com/Tennessee (@CourtneyHoops90 + @AndrewForce8) ranks purely upon potential and where the player will be at their basketball peak. Production factors in only when helping prove the potential is greater or lesser. Why did we rank these guys? Why are they at this spot? Take a look at several Class of 2022 prospects and learn a little about their reputation.
Devin “Jackson 5” dons the #5 uniform for Kingsbury High as part of one of the best ’22 cores in the state. Other groups that come immediately to mind are: FACS, Knoxville Catholic, Pickett County, Memphis East, Beech, Station Camp. How did Devin earn his way into the top 70 statewide? The 6-foot-0 lead guard can handle, shoot, and score. While his team runs out plenty of scorers, there are not littered with defenders. It is here that DJ makes the greatest impact. With his strength and plus-plus balance, Jackson capably shuts down the 1-3 positions already. Injecting physicality is commonplace for Jackson. He appears to welcome contact and even initiate it in select moments, like in search of a charge call. Many and-1’s are floating around the crystal ball here.
Isaiah’s size turned heads during July 2020. What kept the eyeballs of those heads affixed on ID was his face-up game. Station Camp did and will greatly benefit from Davis’ ability to stretch the floor and knock down those 12-18′ attempts. Right now Davis is 6-foot-7. Regardless of his peak height he projects as a forward. The legs are strong, but lateral mobility now and projected into the future is college-guard quick. Of the five players featured within this article, Davis is the owner of the highest potential considering the skills and size he already boasts. Consider ‘Top 70’ his floor in the Class of 2022 and ‘Top 30’ a realistic ceiling.
Whitehaven advanced to the Class AAA State Tournament with help from sophomore Spencer. Though the team leaned on some qualified seniors, Spencer earned the significant playing time he received from WHS Head Coach Fred Horton.

can be really dangerous at the high school level for a couple of reasons: height, agility. Tall athletes make scouts salivate. Morgan can run the floor a bit, handle a bit better than a bit, and hit shots. More physically matured players will destroy him in one-on-one battles now, but he can ascend quickly with the right investment.
