The 2024 rankings have finally been released and there's a ton of talent on the board. Here's a look at some stars in the making that made noise at the varsity level in 2020-21.
Powell is one of the standout freshman that made noise for Northwood this season as they made a run all the way to the 3A State Playoffs. He put up 11.4 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 3.9 apg, 2.3 spg and 1.1 bpg as a presence in the backcourt in 2020-21. He's got a bright future ahead of him.
Whitaker is another of the standout freshman in Northwood's rotation that makes them quite a lethal squad. He's a floor general that put up 16 points in the Region Finals including a big 3-pointer down the stretch to tie things up. He's a combo guard at 6-foot-3 that fills up the stat sheet.
Passmore is an electric prospect that flies around for blocks, rebounds and buckets in the AC Reynolds rotation. He's a sizeable prospect at 6-foot-4 that uses his size and frame well to establish position in the post
