Mills is going to be a fan-favorite as soon as he sets foot on Texas A&M’s campus next season. The 6-foot-3 scorer is as tough as they come and plays with an intensity that few others can match. He’s a very good shooter who doesn’t need much time or space to get his shot off. Mills has expanded his off the dribble game and can score from anywhere on the floor. He also takes pride in his defense and has become one of the best two-way guards in the Northeast because of it.
The New York native looks right at home in a Cushing Academy team that features a number of division one prospects. An explosive driver, Zimmerman has expanded his offense in recent months and looks like he’s improved as a shooter. With good positional size and playmaking ability it will be interesting to see where his recruitment ultimately ends up in the coming months.
Sacred Heart got a potential steal in Gueye, a rangy 6-foot-5 guard who can play either on or off the ball. He is a twitchy athlete and can get to the rim or find his teammates for open looks. He’s also a versatile defender who could guard anywhere along the perimeter.

No one scored more in two games than Kourouma, who averaged 29.5 points in his two appearences at the NPSI. An undersized scoring guard who can get his own shot or create for teammates, Kourouma carried the Ducks offense for a majority of their time in Providence. He went an impressive 9-for-11 from beyond the arc across both games.

The Wyoming commit did a bit of everything on Day 2 of the NPSI, but it was his off the dribble shooting and playmaking that was really impressive. He also is a decent rebounder for a guard and has a bit of a fieriness to him that not only can get him going, but help his teammates get going as well.
