Recruiting Report: Dylan Sullivan (2019)
I had a good conversation with this young man about his career and where it is heading. The 6’6 forward/guard and Washington Supreme 16u standout is primed and ready to take on the big stage. Arguably the best player to come out of Walla Walla High School. He has added another element to his game.
Dylan to me is a small forward. He embodies all of the traits and skill sets of a small forwards. He is a very intriguing combination of size, fluidity and physicality on the wing. He’s capable of knocking down perimeter jump shots, but can also use his strength to overpower and expose mismatches against smaller defenders in the paint or off the dribble in transition and half-court situations. Dylan has defensive versatility, which is a strength of his, length and lateral speed allow him to guard all five positions on the basketball court. Dylan has a knack for jumping passing lanes and corralling steals which lead to easy baskets on the other end. The rising junior has improved his ball skills and ability to create his own shot over the course of the spring and summer.
The 6’6 forward will continue to show his versatility for Walla Walla this year. I project him to average well over 25+ a game. He is a game changer with his speed and strength in the open floor. Dylan is always looking to shoot passing lanes and take it the other way for a thunderous dunk. Dylan is definitely a high major recruit and before his career is over will hear from all of the D1 schools in the pacific northwest.
Already, Sullivan has seen letters and fielded calls Portland, Missouri, Utah State, Eastern Washington, Utah, Pepperdine and San Francisco.
“I’ve been talking to some coaches from all over basically, and this summer I’m just looking to get some more contacts and maybe go on some more visits,” said Sullivan.”
Dylan recently reached out and said, “In the last week, I have rec’d invites from Cal Poly, Idaho, Washington St. and Boise St. to take unofficial visits in October. I am scheduled to go to Cal Poly on October 14th and Boise St on October 21st. Idaho is looking at October 28th and WSU is still working with me on the date.”
Here is some of his recent highlights:
