<p>With their senior campaigns approaching them, the 2021 class for the most part is still open season for recruiting. Down below are some of the 2021s that I have had the chance to see play. I encourage all colleges of each level to check out these young men. The talent is obvious!</p>
<p>7. [player_tooltip player_id="798708" first="Mason" last="Makovec"]- 6’5 F<br />
*Absolutely loves to bang in the paint. Very physical as a forward.<br />
*Very high IQ rebounder. Consistently as a junior could grab 10 boards a game, likely will grab even more next season.<br />
*Rolls well out of pick & rolls.</p>
<p>8. Kyjuan Oden- 5’10 CG<br />
*Was one of the most dangerous shot creating guards in the 757 last season.<br />
*Does not seem to have an ego on the court. Even if he did not start he would come in and dominate.<br />
*Is very capable of scoring 30.<br />
*Excellent pull up jump shot. His creativity makes it hard to tell when he is pulling up.<br />
*Being sub 6’ does not impact him on the court. His quickness and scoring prowess makes up for it.</p>
<p>9. [player_tooltip player_id="697140" first="Jacob" last="Cooper"]- 5’8 PG<br />
*Definitely is one of the best leaders in the 757. This is crucial because he is running the point at the next level.<br />
*Absolutely excels at hitting the open shooters. If you have shooters around him he is liable to get 10 assists.<br />
*Averaged 16 points a game as a junior. Being a proven scorer puts pressure on the defense.</p>
<p>10. Elijah Kennedy- 6’4 SG<br />
*Might be the most slept on 2021 for the 757.<br />
*Elite spot up shooter. If left open it is knockdown. <br />
*Because of his height he is very consistent at getting his shot off. This is crucial at the next level.<br />
*Can shoot coming off of screens at a high rate.<br />
*40%+ 3pt shooting potential.<br />
*Did I mention he is a shooter?</p>
<p>11. [player_tooltip player_id="798695" first="Bryson" last="Spell"]- 6’10 F<br />
*Is working on evolving into a legit combo forward capable of playing the 3 through the 5. If his handle continues to improve it is over.<br />
*Very good spot up shooter. Very comfortable pulling from deep.<br />
*Grew an inch this summer. Also added some muscle <br />
*Underrated shot blocker. Covers distance and erases layups. Does not foul often which is good for a big.</p>
<p>12. Corey Martin Jr- 6’5 W<br />
*Can potentially develop to play the 2-4 at the next level. This makes him one of the more intriguing prospects.<br />
*Energy player. Hard to keep him off of the boards. You have to box him out.<br />
*Very strong and very capable of banging in the paint. Ideal body type as a forward.<br />
*Runs the floor well and can easily finish lobs.</p>
