If you are looking for a high academic kid that could play at an IVY League type of institution Beattie is the kid you need to be setting your sights on. At 6’9 he is stretch big that can defend multiple positions. He is out there switch on guards and at times he will start on one of the better guards because he can move well and impact the game with his defense. Beattie is shooting the ball well and he has even exploded on the offensive end hitting the 30+ mark a few times this season. His recruitment is wide open and while being a high academic kid he could walk on to a program and help in many ways.
Small schools should be fighting for this kid right now! He has improved his game so much over the years. His motor has always been a high motor but his attacking the rim skills have improved and the ability to keep his dribble on attacks and in traffic have improved as well. His shooting is better and you do not have to tell this kid to attack the boards, it is in his DNA. Neibaur could be a solid small school steal.
Malcom has made a nice transition from guard to forward and although he can stil play in the perimeter he has really filled into his body and he has been able to rebound better closer to the rim and he has been effective near the rim as well. With his guard skills as a foundation he is a player that could blossom at the next level. Might be a D2 or NJCAA type of a player but he does have next level ability for sure.
If you are looking to make a splash with a sleeper athlete that does a little bit of everything Cowan is a player you need to come see. He can play that 2-3 at the next level and he has yet to reach peak potential. He rebounds and defends well and his foundation skill wise is solid, he is only going to get better.
Buom is a 3 at a LM type D1. He could be a game changer that could fit into an up and down system or a slow pace system as well. He has elite positional size and that hybrid big ability makes him a player you can use in many ways. He can be out in the perimeter and play beyond the arc. He attacks the rim well and can finish and on defense he can come over and block shots. One of the better grab and go bigs that can weave his way in and out of traffic. Solid D1 skills for sure.
Really good size and skill foundation for sure. Lead guard skills continue to get better and he could be a find at the NAIA or NWAC level. He can score and defend his position. He can really go and he plays realy hard as he is a player that will go out and get you 13 and 8 rebounds but also distribute the ball as he plays the right way.
Desire is really taking the next steps towards his development and although he is not really asked to step out and shoot a lot or to handle the ball but he can. Right now he is finishing around the rim and in time he will add more mass and his footwork will even get better than it is. Desire is a MM to LM big right now at the D1 level.
Highlights
Schroeder is another sleeper prospect that could likely go to a JUCO. fro two years and really mature and develop even more and make to a higher level for sure. Recently picked up and offer from Umpqua and thats school seems to be doing a good job of developing talent. He has been having a really good senior year. He can play on the ball or off the ball because he shoots the ball well.
Highlights
Whitear has been solid this season. In 7 games he has been doing work and although his team has not had a great start he is doing his part and he is trying to do a little bit of everything. He erupted earlier and posted a 34 point game. He has a scoring punch for sure and he could really be a solid addition to a team next season. NWAC schools need to be all over this kid.
Highlights
Atkinson has been taking his game to a new level as of late. The big body sleeper could be a 15 and 5 type of player if brings it every game. His is is impactful and he could really develop at the next level even more. He could be another small school player that could be impactful upon arrival.
