Continue ReadingAs AAU tournaments wind down through the summer and the fall season approaches, high school basketball enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the start of the upcoming hoops season. With state-wide competition just around the corner, Prep Hoops Scout Drew Johnson will be showcasing some of the post-spring and summer stock risers that have gained interest and offers during the offseason. It will be intriguing to observe which players will ascend to the top and establish themselves amongst their peers. Who will emerge as the star player of the season? Only time will tell. Let’s get into some of the risers that have caught my eye in the past few months!
2022 stats: 14.6 ppg | 5.0 rebounds | 2.3 assists | 1.7 steals
Breakdown: Torres continues to impress at various AAU tournaments and showcases, showing off his ability to utilize his solid frame against opposing defenders to finish at the rim or create space for a jump shot. I’ll keep saying it. Torres is a sleeper prospect that’ll start popping up on college radars as the fall season approaches.

2022 stats: 16.5 ppg | 5.4 assists | 4.1 rebounds | 3.3 steals
Breakdown: No matter the smaller frame, Jones is a baller on the hardwood that can create his own shots or show off his good ball placement passing skills. One of my sleeper guards in the Orlando area that received a couple offers so far during the offseason. (Florida Memorial, Miles College, District of Columbia.) Much more to come with more game film and eyes on his skillsets.

2022 stats: 22.8 ppg
Breakdown: Nimmo has developed into one of the top-level prospects in the Polk County area and could land his name on the national radar here soon. He has a good frame a 6-foot-6 with a deadly jumper combined with solid athleticism to be creative at the rim. Should see some interest and offers coming in with more game film during the fall season.

2022 stats: 18.3 ppg | 6.6 rebounds | 3.1 assists | 1.8 steals
Breakdown: Delgardo is a 6’0 combo guard with good dribbling skills combined with a decent jumper. We’ve mentioned him before, but he’s made some more noise during the AAU season. He is known for his ability to finish strong at the rim and keep his eyes open for teammates. Both Delgardo brothers will have a lot of eyes on them during their senior seasons, which should generate some offers/interest.
