Continue ReadingThe 2023 class has taken top priority in recruiting recently with college programs at all levels of college basketball looking to fill holes for next season. In this article we’ll take a look at the top 5 highest ranked point guards that are still unsigned at the moment.
Crim has led Fairfield to a GMC title and was one of the most productive players in southwest Ohio this season. A score first point guard, Crim is a high-level shot-maker who brings toughness on both ends of the court. Crim finished second in the GMC at 19.3 PPG and knocked down 31% of his 98 3-point attempts. Crim has a couple scholarship offers from non-Division I programs and should be considered by Division II and NAIA programs still looking for a lead guard who can get buckets and defend on ball. Crim takes on Huber Heights Wayne in a district championship on Saturday.
Hardy has had an excellent senior season for Cleveland Heights as the lefty has shown up in big moments this season. None bigger than the victory over city rival Lutheran East at the NEO Christmas classic where Hardy dominated. Hardy is a shifty guard with range out to 25 feet. His ability to get downhill and attack is tough to stop and when he’s finding teammates, he’s one of the toughest players to stop in NEO. Hardy needs to play at an up-tempo system at the next level with an emphasis on pushing the pace and applying high defensive pressure. Scholarship, JUCO and prep programs this could be a point guard to check out. Cleveland Heights takes on Brunswick this Thursday in a marquee playoff battle.
Another one of the most talented scorers in northeast Ohio, Thompson has elite quickness and can get past an initial defender with his speed and handle whenever necessary. Thompson is another guard who will thrive in a fast-paced system where he’s surrounded by shooters to give him space to attack the rim. Thompson has a couple offers from JUCO programs posted to his Instagram, including local powerhouse Lakeland.
Saint Edward has the most balanced team in the state with not a single player scoring over 20 points in any game this season. Perusek is the guy who makes the most plays on this team, attacking downhill and finding teammates. A great athlete, Perusek has some circus shots around the basket that find their way in the hoop. Perusek has all the tools to be an absolute stud at the Division III level but if he develops a capable jumper, the sky is the limit for this senior guard coming from one of Ohio’s top high school programs. Perusek takes on Elyria on Wednesday before a potential district final on Saturday and has excellent grades.
Adorno was one of the top performers I’ve seen in the playoffs so far with an efficient 15 point showing against Loveland. Adorno is one of the top shooters in SW Ohio and also made some ridiculous passes. A bit undersized, Adorno relies on his shooting and off-ball movement to make plays in a guard-oriented offense for Princeton. Adorno is shooting 42% from 3-point range and 81% from the free throw line in one of the toughest leagues in Ohio. Scholarship programs should be checking out Adorno as he plays for a district title against Moeller on Saturday.
