The Biggest Senior Sleeper From All 50 States

Davis is a lead guard who emerged throughout the playoffs as one of the top floor generals in the state. He carried a huge load for his squad as he was asked to score and facilitate. He led his team to a Final Four berth and gained a lot of people’s respect with his level of play.

Sundown has been a consistent piece for the Eagles since his freshman year. He had his best year in his last however, averaging 23.0 points per game and 1.7 steals per game on a whopping 53% from 3. He continues to contribute down the stretch for Scammon Bay, as he recently put up 31 in a 1A semifinal game versus King Cove.

A long and lean wing forward who is a very good rebounder in and out of his area and a good passer who plays like a point forward. He scores it from all levels with dribble drives, catch threes, advanced footwork down low in the post and he can dunk it on the break. He will block shots off the glass and brings energy.

Team leader. Withers is outspoken and leads by example. His play style is as a pure three-level scorer with speed and precise ballhandling skills. He’s a talented finisher over, around and through contact while being a tough defender with the IQ to match.

When Marcus Robinson takes the floor, everyone notices. That’s been the case for Robinson from a young age, all the way up until his senior season at Miramonte High School. Robinson is a 6’3 combo guard, who can either bring the ball up as the PG or he can defer and attack from the SG position. Most of the time, he is one of his team’s elite scoring threats while also having the ability to facilitate whenever the opportunities presents itself. Robinson put together quite the Winter and is still looking for a collegiate home but I wouldn’t expect that to last very long. He was a starting guard on the U18 British National team in the past, demonstrating what he can do at a national level, so I’m sure he is about to narrow down his choices and figure out what is future may hold, sooner rather than later.

Strong scoring guard whose improved shotmaking ability off the bounce has elevated his impact. As one of the strongest guards in this state’s 2024 class, he projects as a dependable perimeter defender at the next level. His team at Northfield currently sits at number one in 5A rankings.

Weber has a 50-point game under his belt this season and recently set the Brookfield career scoring record. One of Connecticut’s top scorers, he can get it done at all three levels. He’s shifty, can create space with the dribble, and is able to quickly get his shot off in traffic. He’s more than just a scorer though as he has a good feel for the pace of the game, makes good reads in ball screen actions, and finds teammates in transition for easy baskets. An uncommitted prospect, Weber will eventually make a program very happy when they secure his pledge.

Frasier was the sixth man a season ago, now he’s the starting PG for one of the best teams in the state. He gets the job done offensively with his burst and contact-balance. Not the most athletic, the explosiveness he does have allows him to get a step on his man off the bounce, then power his way through defenders into the paint. When his man has the ball, Frasier has the hands to poke the ball away and force turnovers.

Timmons is a do-it-all guard who flirts with triple-double numbers night in and night out. He helped lead his team to a 22-8 record, back-to-back district titles and a trip to the regional finals in 2024. He really elevated his game in tournament play, where he averaged 24.3 points and 7 rebounds, displaying that mamba mentality, where he just would not be denied.

Lindsey was one of the biggest breakout stars of the year in Georgia, averaging 22.6 PPG and earning Region Player of the Year honors in one of the state’s most loaded regions. Lindsey is a lethal shooter and can get his shot off in a split second. He shot 39% from three this year on over 200 attempts. What Lindsey lacks in size, he makes up for with speed, quickness, and some sneaky bounce.

• Contributed by Cam Rickers

Not only does James have positional size, he has a solid skillset and fundamentals. He has a good jab game that gets him space to get to the rim or to create space to shoot. He would be a really good off-the-radar find.

Vaughn was a key contributor on a team that almost did the impossible as they captured a state championship this year. Vaughn was huge on defense and in his ability to attack the rim. Really solid two-way player with next level playing ability.

• Contributed by Hector Marquez

He is the top uncommitted senior in Illinois at the end of the season. The combo guard can score effectively from all three levels with athleticism. Averaged 24.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3 assists per game as a senior. Low-majors and D2 programs should be all over him!

• Contributed by Scott Burgess

McNair was a double-double machine for Evansville Harrison this season averaging 18.2 points and 10.7 rebounds per game while leading them to a sectional championship. His ability to score with his back to the basket while rebounding his area at a high level makes him an excellent prospect for any small college in the need of a post presence.

Long known for his prowess as an offensive weapon, Martin made a huge statement as a defender in the postseason for the Falcons, shutting down a pair of prolific scorers in helping lead West Burlington to their first state tournament appearance. He’s a three-level scorer who can create off the dribble or knock down shots off the catch, but his improvement on the defensive end will make him a valued prospect that Division II, NAIA, and Division III programs should be looking at hard.

Thengvall showed at the 5A tournament that he’s one of the most “money” players in the state. He’s had a brilliant career at Kapaun as a hard-nosed winner who does everything well in every phase of the game. He handles the ball and creates for his teammates, but when the lights were brightest, he went for 31 and 29 points in the final two games of the championship run.

• Contributed by Todd Fertig

Spencer is a strong and durable wing who can get to the rim and finish or knock down threes with deep range. If I were an NAIA or D2 coach, I’d be all over his recruitment. Breeden is the type of player who will go to an unsigned senior event and leave with double-digit offers.

Allison has been hyper-efficient on the offensive end for the Lions, averaging 20.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 2.2 steals on 50/44/77 splits. He led the Lions to a 30-4 record, a top 10 ranking in 2A, and an undefeated record in district play.

One of the top uncommitted seniors in the state of Maine, Sterling has continued to expand his game this winter. Long known as an athletic slasher, he now is consistently knocking down shots from behind the perimeter. On the defensive end of the floor, Sterling is capable of guarding up or down a position and has great instincts off the ball where he generates a lot of deflections and steals that lead to easy runouts. He should be a prospect that has a lot of Division III attention in the northeast as the calendar shifts to March and April.

Sekasi has the size and ball skills to play either guard spot at the next level. A shooter that went from being strictly a catch and shoot threat to being a true point guard that fills up the stat sheet — I can’t believe that Sekasi is still available. A bad game for him is 10 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists. That’s a pretty good safety net for college coaches.

Wolinski, who’s committed to Wesleyan (CT), has as much an impact on winning as any prospect in the MIAA. Arguably a top 5 guard in Massachusetts, the lefty is an elite shooter from behind the arc, has terrific floor vision, and does a great job of getting to his spots off the bounce. He’s a tough on ball defender that competes on every possession and seemingly reads the play one step ahead of the offense.

Howell has put together a huge senior season against a gauntlet of a schedule after the calendar turned to 2024, averaging 25 points per game and shutting down Division 1 prospects on the defensive end of the court. A highly skilled and versatile prospect.

• Contributed by Jonathon Gilbert

Chan is an active 6’4 wing with a high motor that has improved his percentages behind the arc and from mid-range. He’s an outstanding rebounding guard, he’s excellent in transition, and does a wonderful job of getting to his balance to release in space against contesting defenders. An all around player that averages 23 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in Minnesota big school basketball.

Trey is a standout combo guard who showcases exceptional versatility on both sides of the court. Trey’s ability to handle the basketball allows him to navigate through defenses, not only creating scoring opportunities for himself but also setting up his teammates for good shots. His ability to influence the game in multiple facets makes Trey a valuable asset to any team, combining individual talent with a keen sense of team dynamics.

The 6’4″ 2024 guard is an outstanding two-way player who is an excellent bucket-getter while also guarding the opposing team’s top offensive player. He averaged 20 points, seven rebounds and two steals a game while shooting 50 percent from the field and 41 percent from 3-point range.

• Contributed by Earl Austin

Bates has quietly had a solid year as a outside shooting threat. He averaged 8.3 PPG on 37% from three with 5.4 3PA per game. Lincoln County finished first in their District to finish with an 18-6 record.

Gustafson has put up some insane numbers this season. He’s averaging 25.6 points and 14.3 rebounds on 66/44/73 splits, leading the state in rebounding and coming in second for scoring. He recently became the fourth player in Nebraska history to reach 2000 career points and 1000 career rebounds, and now at 6’5″, he’s blossomed into a real sleeper outside the top 30 of the 2024 class.

Amari Davis is 6’8 long athletic forward with a quick first jump. He has the ability to grab in-traffic rebounds, and finish above the rim. Swiss army knife kind of guy who is versatile enough to face up and slash downhill.

One might argue that it’s hard to be a “sleeper” when you are averaging 37.7 points per game; however, as Marshall committed early in the recruiting process to play baseball (Southern New Hampshire University), I think his exploits on the hardwood this winter have gone under-the-radar in New England. Marshall is New Hampshire’s top big man and the debate isn’t relatively close. A scoring threat both in the post and behind the arc, he has an advanced feel for when to pick his spots and how to get the ball in his scoring areas. He runs the floor better than expected and is dominant on the glass on both ends. Defensively, while he protects the rim, he also does a solid job of moving his feet and is athletic enough to guard on the perimeter.

Syndor is a lanky, forward prospect who impacts the game at both ends of the floor. He explodes for dunks and uses his size to see over his defender. Syndor has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and skies for rebounds at both ends.

• Contributed by Joe Esquivel-Murphy

Wilson has exploded this season as one of the premier wing players in the state. He’s been able to use to impressive athleticism to create for himself around the rim and become one of the best rebounding guards in the state. Wilson’s contribution have been a big part of the Knights’ 22-1 record and District 3 championship.

Sarr has great size at the PG position. He can score effectively, while using his high basketball IQ to make his teammates better. He also rebounds and defends at a high level as well.

Ferere had himself a productive senior season while focusing exclusively on basketball. He led Southern Guilford High to a Mid-State 3A Conference regular season title and conference tournament crown while producing 17.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He’s a versatile presence who utilizes his strength and athleticism in a variety of ways to make an impact. He’s a prospect for DI and DII programs in the Eastern region to get eyes on.

Haerer is having a monumental senior season and should be a candidate for Mr. Basketball. Carson will have a good shot at leading ND in scoring but also stuff the stat sheet in other categories. Haerer has all the skills you could ask for, is smart & timely, and an underrated athlete. He scores at every level, makes others better, and his effort is always at 110%.

Playing on a team with Michigan State commit Jesse McCulloch, Taylor flies under the radar but had a huge senior season. The lefty is an excellent 3-and-D wing, something that’s highly valued at the college level. Already a state champion as a junior off the bench, Taylor has blossomed into a star role for the Falcons and earned NAIA offers in the process.

A hidden gem in southern Oklahoma. Cason has next level height with fluid movements for a player his size, which gives him big time upside as a versatile defensive player at the next level. There’s promise on the offensive end with the potential to be a floor spacer as a stretch big. Once the Kingston standout physically fills out in college, he has one of the higher ceilings of any 2024 prospect in Oklahoma.

Douangphrachanh is a high-scoring wing (24 points per game) that can get buckets at all three levels. He is a knockdown three-point shooter who is also capable of getting to the basket, finishing through contact, and finishing at the rim. Also a high-academic performer, he earned First Team All-Portland Interscholastic League honors as a senior.

From a scoring standpoint, Muhammad has posed a breakout senior campaign. He can shoot threes, score off the dribble and he excels in the open court. Once he is in the paint, Muhammad possesses enough bounce to finish with authority. Muhammad’s high scoring games include 30 points (3 triples) in a win over George School and 26 points (4 threes) as FCS defeated Penn Charter. Muhammad averaged 17 points per contest on 54% shooting from deep. Additionally, he is a plus defender and rebounds well (7 per game).

McNamara, one of Rhode Island’s top scorers, is arguably the state’s top two-way prospect. He’s an aggressive and physical driver that can finish above the rim, but has made tremendous strides as a perimeter shooter and playmaker. Defensively, McNamara is a multi-positional defender that is terrific on the ball but also has the athleticism to protect the rim in help situations. He’s a strong rebounder, can really score in transition, and makes plays that directly impact winning.

Fowler is an absolute winner when it comes to playing the game. He will jump on the deck, grab a loose ball or simply take a charge on command at times. He plays the game to the fullest all times and never looks to take a play while attacking the cup from either side of the bucket. Will isn’t flashy at all but he’s surely effective night in and night out.

He is a BIG, strong, tough, old-school type of post. Josh has great hands, impressive footwork, and a soft scoring touch around the basket. Olthoff has helped lead DV on a long win streak in January/February. Josh is a dominant post presence who demands your attention and this opens up everything else for the Lynx.

Alford has quietly dominated 2A. He’s averaging 24.1 PPG and 7.0 RPG on efficient shooting for Clearwater and has evolved as a three-level scorer. He made a name for himself as a 3-point shooter, but his ability to create off-the-dribble has allowed him to expand his offensive game.

Leon Horner III is one of the biggest shooting guards that has not committed to the collegiate level yet. Horner III stands at 6’6 with a picture perfect shooting stroke whenever he is letting the ball go. It doesn’t matter if he is 5 feet away from the hoop or if he is 25 feet away, if he has a clean look from anywhere on the floor with a smaller opponent in front of him, it’s usually going to be a good shot. Other than shooting the ball, Horner III is fantastic at using his size to his advantage. Whether that be on the offensive side of the floor or defense. He understands his role within his own program to a T and does a great job of making the most of his opportunities.

McConkie really came out of the gate this year and asserted himself as one of the best big men in the state. He improved his over all skills but his touch when he would go over his shoulders was one of the most noticeable things about his game. He has a high ceiling and we have not seen the best of him yet.

Tobey is the engine that makes HU run. Bellows’ crafty playmaking is created with his shooting touch off the bounce and his high-level court awareness, a key component of his distribution. Yet he’s shown sly off-ball movement too, able to play the 1 or the 2. A smart defender who reels in boards at a high clip, Tobey has been averaging a near triple-double all season.

Ashaun Moore plays on a super talented John Marshall team and he came off a season-ending injury in his junior year. This may be why he’s slept on. Ashaun has great size at 6’4 and a great athlete. He’s a great defender and knocks down shots.

Lee isn’t the first or the second name you gameplan for on Davis but he’s a player that gives you a constant unease as an opposing coach. He has the firepower from 3-point to explode for 20+ point games and is a microwave shooter who only needs to see one go in to get in a rhythm. But even when he’s not scoring at a high rate, he’s affecting the game with his energy and guile, consistently piling up assists and steals with his ability to pressure guards all over the court.

Eli Campbell is a player every Coach wants on their team. Campbell is a good shooter and good rebounder from the Guard position. Regardless of the competition he performs, produces, and makes the game his offensively and defensively. DII, DIII, and NAIA should be in contact. Eli has put together a great senior season averaging 17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 charge per game.

Wallin is a do-it-all prospect who leads his team in scoring (20.7), rebounding (10), assists (4.3), steals (1.4), and blocks (1.0). The 6-foot-6 senior excels at positionless basketball where he can dictate the offense as a point-wing and defend multiple positions on the other end.

A three-year starter who grew his game immensely over the past year, Rogers averaged 15.4 points, 4.3 assists, shot 37 percent from deep, and was a 73% free throw shooter. Colton led the Mustangs to a 19-9 overall record and a 3rd place finish at State — he was a unanimous All-Conference & All-State selection, and he was also runner-up for Player of the Year.
