Bruce Thornton (2022) Milton- Got in the paint at will against the Panthers. Strong build for a point guard and used his size to bounce defenders off of him and get in the paint. Not just a scoring point guard but also showed he could distribute the ball.
L.T. Overton (2023) Milton- Impressed me with his physicality on the block, especially as a post defender. Used his chest to prevent post players to back him down on the block. Extremely strong rebounder on the defensive end. Physical for a freshman with a high ceiling.
Caleb Murphy (2020) Grayson- Spent a ton of time above the rim. Elite athleticism. Defensively reads passing lanes and created turnovers with his speed. Showed he could shoot the ball around 15ft as well as dunk at the rim. USF commit.
Ian Schieffelin (2021) Grayson- Elite jumper for a 6’7 forward. Lenghty and able to use his body to get open on the block. Used both height and athleticism to outjump opponents. Cleaned up shots at the rim and had several second chance opportunities.
Deivon Smith (2020) Grayson- Impressed me with his defensive skill especially his ability to jump passing lanes and create turnovers. Offensively could score at will from multiple levels or get the ball to many talented teammates. Mississippi State commit.
Cole Middleton (2021) Pace Academy- Strong interior player. Lengthy rebounder and extremely tough on the glass. Solid finisher a the rim on the offensive end.
