Increasing In Value: Unsigned Prospects
Miles Coleman, Dwyer
The 6-foot-5 guard can score the ball in a variety of ways and brings a veteran savvy. This much was evident against eventual state champion University School of Fort Lauderdale, when Coleman sparked an early 11-0 run and was the driving force behind a wild upset bid.
Coleman was the catalyst in an experienced core that posted several big wins this season. A native of Royal Palm Beach, Coleman is being recruited by Florida area programs such as North Florida and Stetson. He’s certainly under valued on the recruiting market, as his size and scoring skill set ooze of Division-I potential.
Maxime Demeus, Boca Raton High School
The 6-foot Class of 2019 point guard is a pure passer, with exceptional creating ability. With the way he scores the ball and sees the floor, it will be intriguing to see how Demeus quarterbacks the team next season. With Rollins-bound guard and the program’s all-time leading scorer in Cade graduating, Demeus will surely inherit the leadership handle. He’s got offers from high level Division-I programs such as Florida Atlantic and UMass.
Expect Demeus’ stock to heat up in these ensuing months, especially as he garners more exposure on the AAU circuit during the spring/summer.
Rodwens Albert, Atlantic
The reliable 6-foot point guard out of Delray Beach does a little bit of everything. As a facilitator and a scorer, Albert had his hand in a signficant percentage of Atlantic’s offensive production this year. While Albert has the offensive tools and know-how to steer a pressure cooker, the most notable aspect is the Class of 2018 guard’s steady defensive improvement. He’s worked steadily at becoming more of a reliable source on that side of the ball.
R.J. Duhart, Atlantic
The 6-foot-8 forward has the athleticism and crafty skill-set to be a major go-to scorer next season. The Class of 2018 prospect’s vastly improved footwork, interior finishing, and development of a deep jumper and 3-point shot paralleled his ascension into a surefire Division-I product. As Duhart inherits the leadership reins next season, expect him to be a consistent double double threat. Florida Gulf Coast and several other Division-I programs are actively pursuing Duhart, who could also increase his stock this summer.
Mikail Woods, TLAP Academy
With a knack for stifling high powered scorers and instigating turnovers, Woods may be the program’s best all around defender. He’s got high pressure on-ball instincts that many lack at this level, an aspect that enables him to convert turnovers into fast break leakout buckets effectively.
Woods doesn’t have to score 20 points or even 15 to impact the game in convincing fashion. His ability to spark the offense with high level passing and subscribe to the role of lockup man always help him win the plus/minus category.
Jamal Ellick, TLAP Academy
The hard-driving 6-foot-3 guard can lead with his scoring and ability to knife to the rim with relative ease. He proved this time and time again this season, averaging a team-best 20PPG while producing despite attracting double teams.
Regarded as a low-major Division-I and high level Division-II prospect, Ellick is crafty at finishing around the rim and in the open court.
Koreem Ozier, Scotland Campus Sports
After a storied career in which he scored 1,400+ points at Racine Case (WI), Ozier had a commendable post-graduate season under known program builder Chris Chaney. The 6-foot-1 guard averaged 17.5 points to win MVP of the league. He registered his presence during marquee matchups, scoring 26 points against IMG Academy (FL) and erupting for 39 points against Putnam Science (CT) in the national tournament.
Coulter Dotson, Aspire Academy
The 6-foot-5 guard is a deadeye shooter from beyond the arc. The trait separating him from other shooters of his type is his ability to consistently knock down shots without falling into the maddening funks capable of derailing his field goal percentage. He’s got efficiency and sidesteps droughts and swoons, which occur to many at this level.
He’s improved as a defender, originally his glaring weakness. Dotson has also improved with his shot selection and presence on the glass.
Jimma Gatwech, Believe Prep Academy
The 6-foot-4 guard is a straight up jumping jack, possessing stealth athleticism and bouncy attacking ability. While he thrives at finishing around the rim and in transition, becoming a knockdown shooter and leaning on his stroke would pay dividends in bolstering the Nebraska native’s Division-I stock. The Class of 2019 prospect must get bigger physically in order to be a high-impact player at the ensuing level.
Mike Parker, Believe Prep Academy
A bolt-quick 5-foot-9 point guard, Parker has the speed and instinctive defensive playmaking ability for the next level. While he’s shown he can knock down shots, tweaking his form and incorporating a quicker release is necessary. While his ability to get to his spots and his sound point guard play is promising, he must shed oft-noticed attitude issues.
Roberts Dempskis, Believe Prep Academy
The 6-foot-9 Lithuanian forward has big, soft hands and high level finishing ability within the confines of the post. With his active presence on the glass and defensive acumen in blocking shots and manipulating countless others, Dempskis brings a wealth of upside. He’s got looks from Division-I programs such as Austin Peay.
Trace Young, Mount Zion (Md.)
Long, left-handed 6-foot-7 forward has extraterrestrial and freakish athleticism. As an above the rim finisher, Young is largely unrivaled at this level. He’s developed a steady stroke from beyond the arc while expanding his offensive toolbox as a pull-up and stepback threat.
Karim Coulibaly, Scotland Campus Sports
The Class of 2019 prospect is unique for his versatility and ability to hit long range shots. A left-handed forward with face-up game and advanced dribbling ability for a big, Coulibaly has high-major offers from programs such as St. John’s, Rutgers, and Providence.
A motor and interior toughness also add appeal to his profile.
Alassane Camara, Scotland Campus Sports
At 6-foot-5, Camara brings a wealth of versatility. Athletic and tailor-cut for the run and gun game, Camara has the ability to guard various positions.
Dion Harris, Scotland Campus Sports
A strong and well-built 6-foot-6 forward, Harris is a productive offensive threat who can really get to the rim. His knack for attacking and finishing through contact was notable throughout this season. He’s got the skill set to guard from the 2-4.
Paul Garcia, Scotland Campus Sports
At 6-foot-4, Garcia has sneaky athleticism and considerable elevation on his jump shot. He can score in the half court set on a barrage of pull-up jumpers, stepbacks, drives, and even a hard-to-guard floater which he’s recently incorporated into his arsenal.
