Five 2025 Guards Who Should Generate More Interest: Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The summer of AAU is winding down as we head towards the end of July and man, what a summer it was for our in-state prospects. We had a host of players in every age group breakout and put their names on a bunch of college coach's radars at nearly all levels. With the summer coming towards an end, I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to take a look 10 players from the guard, wing, and big spots that I feel should generate more more interest when it comes to their recruitment. For this one, we take a look at five more guards whose recruitment should boost up a little bit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297034"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6697e99a27d21"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Offers: None listed</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Player Traits: highly skilled, high IQ, shooter, floor general, tough, defends, controls tempo, aggressive, quick, creates</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>My Quick Thoughts: In my opinion, I strongly think Horvath is one of the more under-recruited players in the 2025 class, even with his smaller size. Not a whole lot he can't do on the floor and is one of the more complete on-ball guards you find in this class. Whatever school lands him is going to get a steal. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1578453"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6697e99a27d7e"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Offers: IU-Kokomo</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Player Traits: Versatile guard, highlight athletic, buckets-getter, scores at all three levels, potential 3-and-D player long term, stud in transition, bouncy, off the ball threat</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>My Quick Thoughts: A player that slowly burst on the scene and has become one of the more intriguing 2025 prospects is Matson. Has a very strong AAU season with [program_tooltip program_id='2076924' first='EG10' last=''] and finally got on the radar of schools such as IU-Kokomo. That is probably his level, but am very curious to see if he can break into an even higher level when it comes to college play. A top stock-riser in the state. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297025"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6697e99a27dc1"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Offers: University of Judson</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Player Traits: do-it-all guard, tough, floor general, high level scorer, aggressive, high motor, willing defender</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>My Quick Thoughts: Southern Indiana players can sometimes get overlooked, but Fletch Cole is someone that needs to be on the radar of college coaches.

He is arguably one of the best 2025 in-state prospects to yet have a listed offer, which is a little bit surprising. He has a very interesting tool set on the court but no matter, plays with a high motor. He has earned some college interest. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2390222"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6697e99a27e53"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Offers: None Listed </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Player Traits: Highly athletic, scores in both mid-range and rim efficiently, bouncy, dangerous in transition, long, lanky, creates separation, quick on ball. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>My Quick Thoughts: A player that is still under-the-radar but is also coming into his own is Anderson's [player_tooltip player_id='2390222' first='Javon' last='Warfield'].

Could see a breakout senior season on the way. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
