Prep Hoops WA 2022 Updated top 5:
1) 6’7 PF Tyler Linhardt Tyler Linhardt 6'7" | PF King's | 2022 State #192 Nation WA (King’s HS) – The 6’7 power forward has held the number one slot dating back to his freshman year, although there are multiple players creeping into the conversation of the number one ranking. His track record and helping King’s High School to a state title while picking up a couple of Division 1 offers helps him to hold on to the ranking for the time being.
2) 6’2 SG Koren Johnson Koren Johnson 6'3" | SG Wasatch Academy | 2022 #83 Nation WA (+2 Ranking) (Garfield HS) – Easily one of the biggest stock risers in the last year. Johnson played a solid role on Garfield’s 3a state championship team. An outstanding shooter with a crafty handle and high level competitiveness and swagger on the court. He holds multiple major Division 1 offers to date and will really be in contention for the number one slot in due time.
3) 6’7 PF Tyler Linhardt Tyler Linhardt 6'7" | PF King's | 2022 State #192 Nation WA (-1) (Seattle Prep) – The long and rangy combo forward has seen his recruitment rise up a little bit, holding Division 1 offers from Cal Poly and Pepperdine. Mrus can do a bit of everything on the court on both sides of the ball with his shooting touch, length, mobility and solid skill set at 6’7.
4) 6’9 PF Cooper Church Cooper Church 6'10" | PF Tahoma | 2022 State WA (+12) (Tahoma HS) – The single biggest stock riser of the class of 2022. Previously ranked 16th, Church has grown another inch and grown into his body some allowing him to do new things on the court. He has a mixture of wing skills and post play at 6’9 that are not a regular thing for Washington players. He can attack out of triple threat, hit the jumper and rise up and finish above the rim. The 6’9 power forward holds multiple offers including EWU and UC San Diego.
5) 6’1 CG Maleek Arington Maleek Arington 6'3" | PG Auburn | 2022 State WA (+6) (Auburn HS) – Another stock riser in the 2022 class who went from just being outside of the top 10 to holding down the number five slot. Arington has grown another inch, started to fill out physically and his athleticism has taken a big leap. He is now finishing with some power and aggression on the break to go along with his great shooting ability that he’s always had. The 6’1 combo guard holds offers from Montana and Washington State. *Feature image
