Sadaidreine Hall - Sulphur Springs
Old Ranking: 109
New Ranking: 35
Analysis: Hall has been uber-productive at both the prep and grassroots level, making his move of 74 spots this year's single largest jump. Hall plays every game with something to prove and has been a walking double-double for Dallas Showtyme this summer.
Jordan Teal - Austin LBJ
Old Ranking: 91
New Ranking: 32
Analysis: A rise of 59 spots just goes to show how good and effective LBJ prospect Jordan Teal has been this summer. He is one of the state's premier transition scorers and can control a game at both ends with his nice blend of scoring and defense.
Jalen Williams - Dallas Carter
Old Ranking: 111
New Ranking: 56
Analysis: Williams moves up 55 slots into the top-60 thanks to some really impressive performances shooting the ball this spring and summer for Dallas Showtyme. At 6-foot-4 he has good size for a 2-guard and is very crafty around the rim, using euros and other moves to finish his chances.
Malik Henry - Longview
Old Ranking: 59
New Ranking: 21
Analysis: Longview native Henry has really come on in 2019, making himself into a dangerous scoring forward with great length. Henry's bouncy playing style has also found several admirers at the college level, as he has pulled in 5 Division 1 offers since the April Live Period.
