Players to watch: Junior forward Christian Negron is one of the elite players in the area and senior guard Keyvon Kyles returns in the backcourt. Sophomore Jalen Shaw is massive at 6-foot-8 and provides some additional frontcourt size.
Did you know? Larkin has three consecutive 20-win seasons after winning 20 total games the previous two seasons combined.
Why they're in the Power Rankings: The 6-foot-6 Negron is a force on both ends of the floor and he became a more well-rounded scorer this summer in preparing to be more of a go-to player. Larkin has been successful the last few seasons and Negron gives them an exciting centerpiece for the next two seasons.
