We will be breaking down the top players by position in their respective classes. Coaches, if we miss a player who deserves to be recognized please send @RossVDG14 a direct message on Twitter.
The 6-6 small forward looks more like a guard than a wing considering his ball-handling skills and his ability to shoot from beyond the arc. He brings size, strength, length and athleticism to the floor every single night. Wright holds offers from Dayton, Hofstra, Florida A&M, Jacksonville University and several others.
The 6-5 junior forward brought in his multi-talented skills to the floor, with his scoring and rebounding in both the semifinal and championship games. He averaged 17.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game to help lead his school to their first state championship in school history.
The 6-5 small forward is strong and can finish efficiently around the rim. This past season for Charlotte High School, Cornish averaged 15.3 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. He can also turn defense into offense really quickly with his length and speed. He will attract college coaches’ radar as we gear into the Live Period next month. Cornish is also a phenomenal rim runner and finishes around the rim at a high level.
The 6-6 small forward is playing this spring and summer for the Atlanta Timberwolves. During the first weekend at Who Wants The Smoke, Schwartz made a huge impression with his ability to stretch the floor. On the defensive end, he was very active around the rim whether it was blocking shots or defending the perimeter. His length and versatility will attract college coaches’ radar as the live period begins later this month.
The 6-7 rising senior is a problem for defenses when he is at the front of the rim. Hosten is a strong and efficient finisher on the interior as well as catching lobs. On the defensive end he has great footwork and is always in the right position to block the shot or secure a defensive rebound. His free throw percentage is also gotten better as he shoots nearly 70 percent from the free throw line.
Highlights
The 6-7 small forward excels at a lot of roles whether it’s setting screens or running a pick-and-roll offense. Kearns has a high basketball IQ and his versatility makes him more of a combo guard than the wing position. His shooting stroke has been impeccable from the interior as he shot 50 percent from the field this past season at Rockledge. His defensive rebounding and ability to block shots rose to the occasion at the Florida Rebels Invitational where he averaged 12 rebounds and 3 blocked shots per game.
Highlights
The 6-5 rising senior is the true definition of a versatile player. Morris can score on all three levels whether he is at the rim, shooting from the mid-range or the occasional beyond the arc. On the defensive end he is an efficient rebounder and rim protector. Morris and Born To Impact Elite will be in action this weekend at the On The Radar Hoops Sweet Sixteen for the live period.
