I was a fan of Adkins ability to play alongside other Division I recruits and make an impact in a specified role that's similar to the one he'll be playing at the next level. I was also impressed with how Adkins got others involved as a secondary creator. I think low major and high-level Division II and NAIA programs should be looking at Adkins as a spring addition to their 2023 recruiting class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1491402"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"One of the best perimeter defenders in the state, O'Connor gets after it on the defensive end. With good feet, disciplined closeouts and knowing where to be, O'Connor will have no necessary adjustment to the expectation college coaches have defensively. Playing for one of the top high school programs in the Midwest as a senior, O'Connor saw his scoring numbers drop from what they were at Tecumseh where he was the star. What O'Connor got to show was his ability to play next to and against elite talent and how he fits in a system surrounded by other talented players. I like a lot of the skills O'Connor brings to the court and believe he can be an instant impact player at the Division II level.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1090150"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Lewis has been one of the top players in central Ohio this season for one of the top teams in the area. An elite shooter, Lewis also brings athletic tools and has improved defensively over the past 12 months. Lewis has figured out ways to expand his game and be more well-rounded and productive at the same time. Scholarship programs have taken notice and Lewis has recently picked up offers to Lake Superior State and Lake Erie College. Expect more programs to come calling but Lewis has options at the next level right now.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1677078"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Burnett, similar to Adkins, has shown flashes on a talented prep school team with other Division I recruits playing alongside him. Originally from Georgia, Burnett came to Spire for his senior season looking to increase his exposure playing against a national schedule. Burnett was offered by Binghamton back in April but has not posted any more recent offers. Expect low major and Division II programs to take an interest in Burnett in the next few weeks.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["867941"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Hornbeak last night at the playoff game I attended had one of the most cold-blooded shots I've seen this season with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to send his team to the district finals. Hornbeak plays hard and has taken strides as a jump shooter over the past year or so. An active on ball defender, Hornbeak looks to apply pressure to help get his team out in transition. Hornbeak has offers from Division II, III and JUCO programs, showing his recruitment is wide open at the moment from a variety of levels. Check him out when his team plays for a district championship against rival Toledo Whitmer on Friday night at Toledo Central Catholic high school.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1201838"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"The all-time leading scorer in Springfield Shawnee history, Crowe has been one of the most productive players in the greater Dayton area over the past two seasons. An impressive athlete, Crowe has some monstrous dunks on his highlight mixtape. Crowe has offers from Concord, Trevecca Nazarene, Malone and Thomas More, whatever program lands Crowe will be getting more athletic on the wing and a player who knows how to produce on both ends of the court.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63ffc1c66643c"} /-->

The 2023 class is receiving the most attention from college coaches at every level of college basketball. For that reason, we've been focusing on which players are still looking for homes at the next level and spotlighting them in an effort to boost their exposure. In this article we'll take a look at six shooting guards that scholarship programs should be taking notice of.
