Continue ReadingThe latest installment in the 2026 Tennessee player rankings was released last week. This class is top-heavy with potential Division 1 prospects.
But, let’s also take a look at other prospects who are productive and could play college basketball in three years.
Jackson McCutcheon, Brentwood: Point guards at 5-foot-9 often get overlooked because of their size. That’s nonsense and I wonder when will it stop. McCutcheon, at No. 48, has a high basketball IQ, moves well without the basketball, can make shots from the perimeter, and make the right reads. McCutcheon is a team-first guy, and he’s a prospect a program needs to have success.
Jake Harney, Battle Ground Academy: Harney is another small guard, right at 5-10. He’s tough, gritty, smart, and productive. Harney is a dependable ball handler and shot maker. He communicates well on both ends of the floor. Harney, at No. 46, is definitely a top 50 prospect in this class. I can easily see him playing college basketball three years from now.
Chris Johnson, Nolensville: At 6-5, Johnson is a hand full on the boards. He has upper body strength to get into great position for a rebound. Johnson runs the floor well and has a nice touch at the rim. I like Johnson’s mobility on both ends and adding to his overall game will benefit him in the long run.
Abe Reinbold, Cleveland: Reggie Tucker has another rising guard. Well, based on his history of players, such as Grant Hurst, Jasen Brooks, Alex Hyder, Jacobi Wood, etc, Reinbold is in good hands. At 6-4, he can score the basketball. Reinbold, at No. 39, can put the basketball on the floor, which is a plus. I expect him to improve moving forward, and I also expect Reinbold to having a signing day.
Owen McClaran, Eagleville: McClaran is another solid, productive, team-first kind of guard. At 5-11, he can score, pass, and push the basketball in transition. McClaran, at No. 44, doesn’t have to score in double figures every game to have an impact. He’s unselfish and plays any role he’s asked to play. McClaran just wants to win.
