Changes In The Top 10 [player_tooltip player_id="999638" first="Jamie" last="Kaiser"] has been one of the biggest stock risers in the country this spring. While there weren’t too many changes in the amount of players in the top 10, there were some changes in the order and a few new faces in the bottom of the order. DeShawn Harris-Smith DeShawn Harris-Smith 6'5" | SF Paul VI | 2023 State #62 Nation VA of Paul VI switches with Dennis Parker Dennis Parker 6'6" | SF John Marshall | 2023 State #33 Nation VA in the 2 spot after a great junior year and a big summer, making him #2 and Parker #3. Jamie Kaiser Jamie Kaiser 6'6" | SG Bishop Ireton | 2023 State #179 Nation VA of Bishop Ireton takes the biggest leap going from #8 to #4. Austin Ball Austin Ball 6'7" | SF Miller School | 2023 State #138 Nation VA of Miller falls from #4 to #6 and Curtis Blair of Steward falls from #6 to $7, while Troy McKoy Troy McKoy 6'4" | SG Massanutten | 2023 State VA of Massanutten falls from #7 to #8.

Increased Amount of Players As we always do, we increased the number of players in this updated ranking, going from 120 prospects to 155 prospects. With this addition of prospects, some prospects fell in the rankings without us moving them, but simply because we added players. This happens every time we update the rankings and doesn’t particularly mean a player got worst. Area Differences With such a broad state in VA, there are players from many different areas that are included in the rankings and you see a lot of the differences in the areas. For example, the NOVA and Richmond areas are rich with high level wings, the 757 area has a lot of talented guards and when you go out west you find quite a few talented big men. This has become somewhat of the norm, despite the fact that there are very good players at every position in every area.
