Rankings Update: 2022 Top Newcomers

Brandon Brown Brandon Brown 6'2" | CG Teays Valley Christian Prep | 2022 State WV - 6’2” CG Teays Valley 2022 Brown enters the 2022 rankings after re-classifying from the 2021 class. He was ranked #9 in 2021 and now enters the 2022 rankings at #5. Brown is someone who showed a ton of promise last school-year and all AAU season long, playing for Big Shots Elite Tri-Cities. Brown is a 6’2” combo guard who has sneaky athleticism and is very skilled. He scores from all 3 levels, handles it well, is a good secondary distributor and is a good defender. The lefty excels in the mid range game and does a majority of his scoring from that area. Mid major D1s need to get on him before it’s too late.   Ayden Ince Ayden Ince 6'6" | SF Woodrow Wilson | 2022 State WV - 6’6” SF Beckley Prep 2022 Ince enters the 2022 rankings after transferring from Woodrow Wilson to Beckley Prep and re-classifying from the 2021 class. He was ranked #15 in 2021 and now enters the 2022 rankings at #10. Ince had a great year at Woodrow Wilson and showcased his game further on a talented WV Generals team this AAU season. Ayden is an extremely athletic wing forward prospect. He is able to play 2-4 and defends 1-4 as well. Ayden plays above the rim, shoots the mid range jumper well off 1-2 dribbles or off the catch and is a good 3 point shooter off the catch. Defensively, Ince has active hands, is a good shot blocker and does a good job at staying in front of his man. Low and mid major D1s need to inquire.   Jude Wisman-Raven Jude Wisman-Raven 5'10" | SG University | 2022 State WV - 5’10” SG University 2022 Playing behind a Division I backcourt of Kaden Metheny (Bowling Green) and KJ McClurg (New Hampshire), we didn’t get a chance to see much of Wisman-Raven last year. After watching Jude in person and on BallerTV during the summer AAU season with WV Reign, he impressed me enough to land a spot at #25 in the 2022 WV rankings. Although he is just 5’10” and plays mainly off the ball, Jude is one you need to see. He scores from all 3 levels, has a great 3 point jumper and plays extremely hard. Wisman-Raven does a great job at sprinting the floor in transition and gets easy buckets as such. D2s and need to inquire.
