Continue ReadingAtlanta, Georgia – It is the month of March and that only means the high school season has just finished and AAU season is just beginning. The class of 2019 is now in the books and time for the underclassmen to rise their stock and get their recruitment ready. Here we will list a few prospects who stock and recruitment could potentially rise over this AAU season. We all know top prospects like Brandon Boston Jr. Sharife Cooper, Walker Kessler, Deivon Smith, Dwon Odom, and KD Johnson will have major attention on them throughout the spring, summer. So let us see what others can potentially receive more attention.
2021 SG Chance Moore (Holy Innocents) pictured
The sophomore guard Chance Moore burst onto the national scene back in November where he had a tremondous performance at the annual Holiday Hoopsgiving. After his great two games, Moore started to receive much needed attention from high major programs like Xavier, Georgia, Auburn, Clemson, and others. The 6-foot-5 two guard has become a lethal scorer and will be running with Georgia Stars (GA) in the Nike EYBL this spring, summer. There his stock should definitely rise as he will going against some of the best talent regardless of class. Chance has also been invited to participate in the USA Basketball mini-camp that will be held during the NCAA’s final four in Minnesota on April 4-6th.
2020 G Caleb Murphy (Norcross High School)
The 6-foot-3 combo guard Caleb Murphy could certainly receive much attention this spring, summer. After playing his junior year behind star guards like top-10 Brandon Boston Jr. and USC commit Kyle Sturdivant, Caleb will have his chance this AAU season to show scouts and the national media more than what he showed during the high school season. Murphy is an interesting prospect and will be a steal to any college program once he makes his decision. He is a tough minded guard who hustles and just plays the right way on both ends of the floor. His shot making abilities have improved over the course of the season and his defense is probably one of the most intriguing qualites he holds.
2020 F Jermontae Hill (Tucker High School)
The 6-foot-6 forward Jermontae Hill started to make some noise towards the end of last summer’s AAU season and received much attention during his junior campaign at Tucker High School. Hill is a physical forward with solid size at his position. He is able to attack and be aggressive offensively and gets most of his buckets from inside the arc. He holds long arms which help him be effective on the glass on both ends of the floor. Jermontae has received offers from schools like Ole Miss, Kansas State, Missouri, Texas Tech, Florida, and more. He will be running with Team AJ Bouye (GA), a non-shoe sponsored program, once again this spring, summer.
2020 W Euguen Brown III (Southwest Dekalb High School)
After suffering a major injury midway through his high school season this year, the 6-foot-6 wing Eugene Brown III will be making his return this spring, summer on the Nike EYBL circuit with Athletes of Tomorrow (GA). Brown III, before suffering his injury, made some noise and received much attention from college coaches, scouts. He holds offers right now from Clemson, Georgia Tech, Xavier, Middle Tennessee, and more. He holds extremely long arms and with a solid body frame. He is an active defender who is able to time his blocks and steals accurately. Eugene is able to spread defenses with his improved perimeter shooting and shows high level athleticism when he runs the floor. He will be playing with stars like 2020 PG Sharife Cooper and 2020 W Brandon Boston Jr. and his role will be huge if they are looking to make another Nike Peach Jam appearance.
2021 PG Peyton Daniels (Tri-Cities High School)
The elite potential in sophomore guard Peyton Daniels is awaiting to be unleash. The 6-foot-2 combo guard is coming off his state championship run with Tri-Cities High School and will once again be running with Stackhouse Elite (NC) in the Adidas Gauntlet. Daniels has a very clean and nice looking stroke on his jumpshot for a sophomore. He is an elite shooter from beyond the arc and can be considered a high volume shot maker if he gets hot. Peyton is an aggressive defender and shows his toughness on that end of the floor. He only holds one offer right now and that is from James Madison University but his recruitment should pick up this spring, summer.
2021 PG Danny Stubbs (Pebblebrook High School)
Sophomore point guard Danny Stubbs had to mature very early during his sophomore season this year with Pebblebrook High School. Danny took the starting point guard position for the Falcons and after playing a national and tough schedule, his maturity has certainly kicked in. The 6-foot-0 point guard already has the toughness built in him and is able finish while taking contact when making his way to the basket. He has worked very hard on his jumpshot since his freshman season and it seems like it has paid off. Danny has active hands when on defense and is able to force turnovers when he is on defense. He is becoming an elite floor general and will surprise college coaches, scouts with athletic ability. Danny holds interest from Georgia, Iowa, and UAB up to this point.
2020 C Ebenezer Dowuona (The Heritage School)
The 6-foot-10 center Ebenezer Dowuona had a solid junior campaign this high school and will be looking to rise his stock during this spring and summer’s AAU circuit. Ebenezer will be running with Game Elite (FL) this spring, summer in the Adidas Gauntlet once again alongside five star center Walker Kessler. He is an elite rim protector and with his long arms he is also able to be a force on the glass. Although he has to work on his offensive skills more, Ebenezer can still get you buckets on that end of the floor. Like I said, he is a force on the glass and that means he is able to get put back dunks and is able to give his squad second chance opportunities. He holds offers right now from schools like Minnestoa, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Georgia Tech, Auburn and more.
