Continue ReadingBateman is an elite rebounder and high, high level athlete whose best basketball is still ahead of him. A fierce competitor, I’ve seen Derrell Pull a goal down on a dunk and I’ve seen him hit a step back 25 footer. He’s a super talented player.
An absolute freak athlete, Williams is the only player I’ve seen give up his dribble then throw it off the glass to himself in the next couple of seconds. Antonio’s overall skill level needs to keep improving but he could be a top Juco player in the south next season.
From off the radar to top 35 in the class, Dut could keep trending up in college. Playing in a slow down system, Emmanuel had modest stats but if he lands at the right college, Dut can be a superstar.
One of the best student athletes in this class, Decker was regional player of the year after a great career for Ohio County. Elijah can play above the rim or knock down threes with deep range. Wherever he commits, he’ll be a nice piece.
Hand was one of the more steady players in Louisville over the course of his career. Able to finish around the rim and absorb contact, Jacob was consistently scoring 15+ and grabbing 6+ rebounds per night for 4 years. He’s still undecided on his college decision.
