Evaluation:

Luke is an old school, hard hat, bring your lunch pail to work type of player. Plays bigger than 6 '5 when he is in the paint, has a motor that never stops, and shoots the 3 like a 2 Guard. Doesn’t have a true Position, which will limit his Recruitment at the higher levels, but makes too many Winning Plays on both Offense and Defense to not add to your 2025s to Watch List.

Versatile Skilled SF that can play inside and out, is a tough cover in PnR Situations with his ability to face up and make plays out of the high post at 6'7. Has a high ceiling and the potential to be an Elite Level Rebounder & Defender with his best ball still in front of him. Played D1 Level Basketball in the Late Live Periods so his stock will continue to Rise!

Texas can go from Elite Varsity Level Player to College Level Recruit if he has a big Sr Season. The Skill Set, Basketball IQ and the ability to Shoot the ball and shoot it with Range makes him one to track this Season. Moves well without the ball to get to his spots and knock down shots, and has a good understanding on how to create space off the catch to get his shot off vs bigger defenders.

Evaluation:

One of the Surprises for me was Small School Playmaker Kason Brown. Listed at 6’4 but looks more like 6’6 with his length and athleticism. Deceptive Athlete that made some impressive plays attacking the basket, including dunking over 2 forwards with Authority in the 3 on 3 Portion of the Camp. Kason has a High Basketball IQ, High Motor & High Ceiling heading into his Sr Season. Scholarship Level Wing who would be drawing heavy interest at the D2 Level If he played in a bigger Bball Market or Select Ball last Summer. He plans on Playing this Summer so get him on your list of Recruits to Watch. He is Already a College Level Playmaker with Plenty Of Time To Grow his Game and Increase his Level of Recruitment.

Carson is a true 3 & D Prospect that plays to his Strengths, Competes Hard, and does a great job on the Glass from the 2 spot. Pursued Rebounds all Camp, was Vocal in the Defensive Stops Competition, and plays with great Effort without the ball in his hands. Stays locked in on the Defensive end and athletic enough with length to guard the 2-4 spots. Moves well without the ball, gets to his spots, and knocks down shots in catch and shoot situations.

Strong PG with a College Ready Body that does a Great Job Pressuring the Ball on D and making plays off the Bounce on Offense. Jacob is ready to take over as the Leader at Randle HS this Season. Plays with Great Effort and makes everyone around him better. Pure PG whose stock will continue to rise as the Season Progresses.

Nathan is a High Academic Ivy League Type Prospect coming off an All-State Junior Season where he excelled on and off the court. College Ready Shooter w/ Size that Does a Great Job at staying Active when He’s on Help Defense. 6'4 Guard capable of playing the PG or Off Guard Position and Equally Effective at both spots. High % Shooter who moves well without the ball in his hands to get to his spots and can knock down shots in catch and shoot situations. When he is the lead Guard, Nathan has great court Vision and does a good job of making the right decisions when drawing help.

Evaluation:

High IQ skilled PG who has the size and shot to play the 2 Guard, and the skill set and court vision to be a PG. Being the best player at a smaller school, he most likely will play the PG Position at Holy Cross but he's at his best off the ball. Regardless of Position, Aaron plays with great pace, scores it at all 3 levels, and has a high Basketball IQ. Not a lot of flash just makes plays, makes the right decision, and shoots it at a high %. Deceptive Athlete that could put up big numbers this Year and start to gain Genuine Interest in the Spring by doing so.

Evaluation:

Super Quick in the open court, Deceptive Athlete, and has the ability to create space off the bounce to get his shot off vs bigger opponents. Although he plays the PG in High School, he is more of a Combo at the College Level with his ability to score it at all 3 Levels. What stood out the most at the AR Camp was not only his Skill but his 'Will' to Win. He LED his team to the Defensive Stops Title and the Winning Ways Challenge which is all about Mindset. The tougher it got, the tougher he got! Stays in Attack Mode while staying in control, and is a 2-Way Player that is flying under the Radar due to playing at a smaller School. That won't be the case for long, when Select Ball starts and Coaches get a look at this kid his Recruitment will pick up and his stock will rise.
