Recruiting Report: Trevor Lakes (2017)

<p>Trevor Lakes knows his height and shooting ability can cause opponents issues. It doesn’t hurt his all around offensive skills let him play an effective wing either.</p><p>“I’m more of an offensive threat and I’m 6’7”, so I can create some matchup problems because I can shoot or take somebody into the post if they are smaller,” Lakes said. “I can also pass well, so I don’t really stop or slow the offense down, kind of find the open guy.”</p> <p>These skills have gotten the junior, ranked No. 48 in the Prep Hoops Indiana Top 100, attention from plenty of colleges. He has heard from Southeast Missouri State, Belmont, Kent State, Maryville, Cedarville, Evansville and Lipscomb.</p> <p>The coaches have told him his offensive skills are what they notice, but the potential for him to grow even taller and his improving athleticism make him a potential Div. I prospect.</p> <p>It doesn’t hurt that he isn’t satisfied with where his game is at either.</p> <p>“I’ve been working on taking my guy off the dribble and pulling up,” Lakes said. “If I can take it to the basket or pull-up off ball screens it could really take my game to the next level and be a really hard guard.”</p> <p>Lakes has already taken a visit to Southeast Missouri State. He hopes to take more visits following the high school season and wants to make a final decision next year&#39;s season begins.</p> <p>For now, though, he just hopes his improved skills can help push the Lebanon team to great heights.</p> <p>“We won our sectional last year and ended up losing to Guerin Catholic, the state champs, so we’d like to win our sectional and regional this year,” Lakes said. “If we get a full team effort, really feel like we could be a really good team in our division and class.”</p>
