Having Texas highly recruited 2022 class back on the court is poetry. The now juniors continue to etch their name in history as a few others make stock changing jumps throughout the season. Their official upperclassmen now, and it’s showing. [player_tooltip player_id="889577" first="Cameron" last="Corhen"] | John Paul II Corhen looked like an improved vertical threat in his junior year debut. He finishes and initiated contact for several and 1 finishes. The four-man shows a quick first step when catching the ball in the short corner. [player_tooltip player_id="1052077" first="Avery" last="Jackson"] | Frisco Memorial Jackson pulled out the best defensive performance in a matchup ripe with guards. Steals and blocks pepper his stat line while being the primary defender on 3-star recruit Jourdyn Grandberry. His excellent pick dodging and quick hands allowed him to stay on defenders hip and pressure ball handlers. He’s a good reliable floor general with deep range. In the following game, he netted a school record 7 threes. [player_tooltip player_id="889589" first="Isaiah" last="Foster"] | Frisco Memorial This quick guard displayed why his recruiting picked up before his injury. He created his shot behind the arc while racking up trips to the cup and free throw line. Foster may be wired to score but with the zip, he puts on the ball facilitating comes easy. [player_tooltip player_id="958562" first="Zane" last="Hicke"] | Marcus Hicke’s athletic 6-6 profile downplays one of best skills; passing. His three assist game isn’t an eye popping stat, but the film tells a different story. He threads the needle, understands how to expand passing lanes, and is above all accurate. Add that to an already long, high motor defender you’ve got yourself an interesting next level prospect with another year and a half to improve.
