The scoring threat is evident but when you add in his ability to consistently rebound for his position, and his defensive prowess on the other end, he makes a good case for a legitimate recruit colleges should have eyes on. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2554839' first='Jordan' last='Mickens']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Robinson","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cbu003e2023 stats: u003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e17.3 PPG - 8.1 assists - 4.9 rebounds u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eThis kid has fallen under the radar but has produced great numbers this season for Robinson (10-7). When breaking down his film, solid framed guard that attacks the basket fearlessly but has a soft touch to finish when bumped or guarded. It's the added defensive energy he brings that makes him an interesting prospect. The junior still has plenty of time to add weight to his frame and work on his body for the college level. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2254301"],"_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":"u003cbu003e2023 stats: u003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e10.8 PPG - 2.9 assists u003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eValdes is next in line when it comes to scoring for Coral Glades this season as the junior is producing double-digit numbers in that category. Seems like it should be more with his last few scoring outputs because the kid can light it up. He's been a top performer for his squad a few times this season and it'll be crucial to turn it up before district/playoff time. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1055758"],"_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":"u003cbu003e2023 stats:u003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e 10.1 PPG - 12.1 rebounds - 1.4 blocksu003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eA rebounding machine and much needed paint presence for this Coral Glades team that has the talent and pieces to put together a solid season mid-way through.  The 6-8, 230-pound senior dual-sport athlete is averaging a double-double on the hardwood this season. He's a talented athlete that can make an impact at the next level for both sports. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1450213"],"_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":"u003cbu003e2023 stats: u003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e19.3 PPG - 9.3 rebounds - 2.7 assistsu003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eKamara will wrap up our list today, but this kid has dominated the year and I'm not sure how he's not getting the coverage. The 6-8, 200-pounder is a beast is the scoring and rebound categories as he nearly averages a double-double. He's leading University to a 12-2 start with a lot of momentum with half the season left to play. Keep your eye on this kid and team to finish strong. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a06beb8726d"} /-->

I have made it back to the hardwood and will be providing daily updates with players to watch and notable standouts making noise in their respective positions and classes! For this week, let's break down a few prospects you should have eyes on. These kids are having productive seasons and deserve the recognition.
