Hopefully, the players have taken this free time to stay in shape because the 2020-21 season isn’t too far away.
There were some prospects in the 2022 class last season that showed a lot of promise last season and should only get better moving forward.
Here are six players who should take the next step in 2020.
Keyron Crawford, Memphis East: Crawford spent his sophomore season at Raleigh-Egypt. He will be transferring to Memphis East High School to play under head coach Javonte Holmes. At 6-foot-6, Crawford is athletic, strong and tough. Holmes will play Crawford at power forward next season, but Holmes will need to help Crawford develop a wing’s skillset, but he will have to play the shooting guard or small forward position if he has aspirations to play at the Division 1 level.
Evan Eursher, Lighthouse Christian: Eursher shoots the ball well, loves to attack the basket and is an unselfish teammate. He averaged 22 points and four assists per game last season. The 6-2 guard has been getting a lot of phone calls this week and it’s not hard to see why.
Cedquavious Hunter, Cordova: Hunter is a 5-10 combo guard that’s explosive in the open court. His new head coach Terrance Scales calls him ‘Tyler Harris 2.0.’ Hunter has great ball handles, shoots the ball well and gets into the lane with ease. Hunter averaged 23 points per game last season for North Panola. He already has an offer from Cal State Bakersfield. Expect Hunter to blow up under Scales’ watch.
Jalen Anglin, West Carroll: Anglin can score with the best of them. The 6-3 point guard is a good passer, plays solid on-ball defense and always knows where the basketball is. Anglin averaged 18 points per game last season. A productive junior season isn’t farfetched for Anglin.
Daniel Egbuniwe, FACS: Egbuniwe holds an offer from Tennessee State University and yet, a lot of people aren’t talking about him. Egbuniwe is a 6-6 wing that rebounds the ball well, blocks shots at the rim and finishes strong at the rim on the offensive end. His ball handling still needs some work, but he does other things so well for it not to be a major issue.
Marcellus Boyd, Cordova: Boyd averaged 13 points in the Wolfpack’s final six games of the 2019 season. The 6-2 shooting guard averaged 8.1 points per game for the season – 10.1 points per game after being inserted into the starting lineup in January. Boyd has a chance to be a special player for Cordova. He shoots the ball well, especially from 3-point range. He made 43.8 percent from long range in 2019.
