Bruce's Best: Top 100 Hidden Gems - Prep Hoops (2024)

Cottington is an underated highlight reel with top 50 level athleticism. His ability to impact games with his R&J ability combined with the propensity to make an above the rim impact play make him one of the more exciting players outside the top 100.

The center class isn’t deep, so that’s a reason to not sleep on this over 100 player. Warde has tremendous footwork, and can even command a double team from the low block. “Baby Jokic” currently hovers outside the top 125.

You can find all kind of skills in players past the top 100. Case in point this top 135 player. Wells is a tenacious player who doubles as an underrated 3 and D guy.

Keep an eye out for Walker as a stockrisers. He’s fearless, and will give 110 on the defensive end. The Glue Guy from Las Vegas is the type of player that every team needs if it is to reach its postseason goals.

When it comes to tough scrappy PG’s Pacheco is one of the best in the class. He’s a terrific on ball defender, as well as an unselfish facilitator. He and his Pitbull mentality are knocking on the door of the top 100.

Jackson is a bucket. The combo proves that you can find scorers deep in the rankings. He has some wiggle that gives him a chance to also be a future stockriser. His ability to defeat defenders and create shots for himself makes him one of the more offensively gifted players outside the top 100.

Russell is a player that got on the radar during the State tournament. He is a Glue Guy type that helps his team on the backboard, the defensive end and with interior scoring. It may only be a short lived stint over the top 100 as he comes in right at the 101 mark.
