Greater Houston All-State selections. Congratulations to every prospect that made this list that was compiled by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) for the University Interscholastic League (UIL) for the public schools 5A classification. [player_tooltip player_id="779883" first="Ramon" last="Walker"] 6’4 SG | 2021 | Alvin Shadow Creek HS Ramon is one of the Top Greater Houston 2021 Prospect as well as in the State of Texas. He was the anchor for his team this year. He was awarded Offensive MVP in his district as well as All-Region. He is a strong guard that scores well from all level on the court. His outside game is complimented with his ability to play with his back to the basket and get to the rim when he wants. Plays above the rim every chance he gets and won’t hesitate to put in on an opponents head. He has a super high motor on him as well. He is a solid on-ball defender and can guard wing/post players because of his physical game. He currently holds a couple of NCAA D1 Offers and you can catch him playing with Texas Hardwork on the Under Armor Circuit (UAA)   [player_tooltip player_id="766994" first="Pierce" last="Spencer"] 6’2 SG | 2020 | Montgomery Lake Creek HS [Nicholls State] Pierce is a big-time scorer who a major threat from beyond the arc. He has great elevation on his jumper. He also was a great team leader for his squad as he led in many statistical categories. He is a hard-nosed defender who is very vocal on the floor. He was a tough assignment no matter the opponent. He plays with a great motor and has some athleticism in his game. He averaged 24 points per game, 8 rebounds per game, and 3 steals per game.   [player_tooltip player_id="681912" first="Kenneth" last="Lofton"] Jr. 6’7 PF | 2020 | Port Arthur Memorial HS [Louisiana Tech] [player_tooltip player_id="681912" first="Kenneth" last="Lofton"] merged on the scene last season as one of the biggest stock risers on the entire state of Texas after a really solid sophomore showing in the State Championship Game. This season he continued to dominate the game both inside the paint and outside of the paint. He has guard-like skills which always causes for mismatch against Bigs. He also has great vision and drops dimes all over the court and was used as the second ball-handler on the team as he was the play initiator. Louisiana Tech is getting a great prospect in him.   [player_tooltip player_id="594457" first="Hayden" last="Hefner"] 6’5 SG | 2020 | Nederland HS [Texas A&M] Hayden spent the beginning of his season out due to an injury, but when he came back he made a statement and put his team on his back. He is a super athletic guard that can shoot the leather off the ball. He has a good handle on the ball. Plays with a great motor and attacks the lane. He will be attending Texas A&M University next year.   [player_tooltip player_id="889559" first="Bryce" last="Griggs"] 6’2 PG | 2022 | Fort Bend Hightower HS Bryce is one of the States Top Prospects and made a case to possibly be the best prospect in his class in the entire state. He is an explosive scorer who can score at Will from anywhere on the floor. He also displayed his ability to take over a game multiple times throughout the season. He has stepped up defensively guarding the best player on the opposing team. His floor awareness was on full display this season as well as he was dropping dimes all over the court to show that he’s not just a scoring machine. He currently holds a couple of NCAA D1 offers, but expect that number to increase drastically this Spring/Summer as he runs with Houston Hoops 17U on Nike’s EYBL Circuit.
