<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Being a Division I prospect is the goal of most preps that player basketball and play it on a high level. At the Space City Collision, I saw a few players that are destined to play on that level. Whether it is low, mid-major, high major, or Power 5, the players that follow can definitely compete on that level.</p> <p><strong>(G) [player_tooltip player_id="1130799" first="Brandon" last="Rodgers"] | 6’3" (2023) | LA Broncos (Zachary) - pictured above</strong></p> <p>Rodgers was a force of nature during the Broncos 3-1 Houston trip and performed a high level on both ends of the floor.  During the event, he proved he could score on all three levels and defended at a level just as high.  Rodgers showed that he can facilitate and made passes in the half court as well as transition to teammates allowing them to score. Rodgers man-to-man defense helped create open floor situations as he stole passes and ripped players he was defending.  During his Houston weekend, Rodgers ability to play both ends was on full display.  </p> <p><strong>(G) Ra’sauud Eaglin | 6’3" (2022) | Houston Wildcats ’21 (Thurgood Marshall)</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/Ra_sauud-Eaglin3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1196096" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/Ra_sauud-Eaglin3-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p> <p>The Houston Wildcat guard was one of the more impressive guards during the weekend.  Eaglin is a lefty who has no trouble getting to his left.  However, he does not just get to the rim and lay the ball up.  Eaglin showed that he can pull up on a dime and hit short jumpers.  He changed direction quickly several times and kept defenders off balance.  Eaglin also used a high rate of speed in the open floor changing ends.  All of the mentioned traits make him someone that will definitely peak the interest of Division I coaches and scouts.  </p> <p><strong>(W) [player_tooltip player_id="854930" first="Shawn" last="Jones Jr"]. | 6’6" (2022) | Drive Nation Houston Red (Shadow Creek)</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/B1D82A8E-7C76-4622-9F7E-B78CB2B4E327-rotated.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1193969" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/B1D82A8E-7C76-4622-9F7E-B78CB2B4E327-225x300.jpeg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p> <p>Jones is one of those athletic basketball players who has all of the measureables that make him a Division I prospect.  He is long, fast, and can jump out of the gym.  During his weekend in Houston, he spent time placing all of those traits on display.  Jones showed he could protect the rim on one possession and then switch out smaller guards on another.  He proved he can make shots from the draw and kick transition situations, push after rebounds, and take players off the dribble.  Jones is a high level talent and proved that in Houston.  </p> <p><strong>(G) Jacob Duran | 6’4" (2022) | Houston Nets (Cypress Falls)</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/Jacob-Duran.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1195954" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/Jacob-Duran-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p> <p>Some players work very hard on perfecting certain aspects of their game.  After watching the Space City Collision, Jacob Duran is one of those players.  His preparation to shoot and his shooting ability were not only some of the best I saw and Houston, it was the best I have seen all season.  Duran displayed early preparation and does not waste time in catch and shoot situations.  His release his quick and follow through was repetitious.  While his team might not have had much success, Duran let Houston know he is dangerous shooter on the hardwood.  </p> <p><strong>(G) [player_tooltip player_id="1052158" first="Trey" last="Miller"] | 6’2" (2022) | Drive Nation Houston Black ’22 (Concordia Lutheran)</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/88D73308-0AD4-4396-99FF-D6C667A63C04-rotated.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1196340" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/88D73308-0AD4-4396-99FF-D6C667A63C04-225x300.jpeg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p> <p>Miller was the best player in the floor in the games I saw him during the Space City Collision.  He is a point guard with great vision, high level shooting ability, and great bounce.  Miller displayed the ability to get it done on all three levels and he made plays for others.  He is good at playing off the ball as well and showed he knew how to move for spot-ups.  Miller can play either guard position at a high level and he is a prospect who will be definitely be coveted at the point guard position.  </p> <p>Other prospects that I believe that will draw Division I interest are <strong>Da’chari Thigpen </strong>(6’3"/Beast Elite ’23) and <strong>Jayce Rickert </strong>(6’4"/Minnesota Grizzlies).  They have some deep three point range and have good size at the guard position.  I am definitely not saying that all of these players will be Power 5 conference guys.  However, they have the talent to compete on the Division I level.  We will see how things go as recruiting picks up for all players in July.  </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
