He is shifty off the bounce and can really handle the rock. He has excellent court awareness and a PG IQ that makes him tough to deal with. He understands how to manipulate defenders and position teammates in places to take advantage of defenses' mental slippages. Jordan has pop to his game, is elusive with his handle, and is really good when breaking down defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2492382,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Ty-Odom-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/PH-Ty-Odom-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2492382" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1585284' first='Ty' last='Odom']</strong> (6'2/SG/'25/Hartselle HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: ty_odom1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ty is one of the most unselfish players in this article at his position. He is listed as a SG but has had to spend a lot of time on the ball over the years. He has grown into a high-level talent who can play on and off the ball. He has proven that he can score the rock from all levels, and he has had a dynamic pre-season in the fall league as he has put up some crazy numbers in the scoring column. He will be needed to be both facilitator and scorer in his final year, and from the information I have been receiving, he is ready for the challenge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1655341,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/PH-Austin-Coner-c.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/PH-Austin-Coner-c.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1655341" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1398735' first='Austin' last='Coner']</strong> (6'0/PG/'25/Pinson Valley HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: acwoo2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @IAMWOO2x</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Austin is probably the most underrated player in this article. I already knew that he was going to be asked to play a huge role for his squad this season, but with the departure of [player_tooltip player_id='1958489' first='Clyde' last='Walters'] from the Indians, Austin's responsibilities shot up through the roof. Everything for the Indians will run through Austin, and the Indians will go as he goes. His game has gotten a lot more mature, and I am confident that we will see his dynamic scoring ability and his feel for involving teammates on display this upcoming season.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>Please note: I haven't had Austin update his profile in a while, but some say he has grown and is now standing at or close to 6'3.&nbsp;</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2629607,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Tony-Wells-Jr.-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-Tony-Wells-Jr.-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2629607" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2046353' first='Tony' last='Wells']</strong> (6'3/SG/'25/Seckinger High School)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: t0nywells</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @tony_wells_15</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tony is an off-guard who is at his best when attacking downhill and getting to the cup. I recently was able to evaluate him at the Paul Biancardi camp, where he showcased a brilliant floor game and a scoring prowess off the bounce that had defenders constantly on their heels. He beats defenders off the rip with an excellent first step and has the strength to withstand contact on the drive and to finish through contact at the rim. He is a straight-line driver whose game is getting to the rim, and he showed his ability to be a creator off the bounce.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2628270,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-King-Keary-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/PH-King-Keary-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2628270" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>King Keary</strong> (6'2/CG/'25/Goodpasture Christian)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: kingkeary1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @kingkeary1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">King is a talented backcourt prospect who plays on and off the ball. He is at his best when orchestrating the offense and can provide scoring when opportunities arise. He is a heady PG who has a good feel for the game and does a good job controlling the tempo. He has made tremendous strides as a facilitator and a scorer, and at the recent camp I saw him compete at, he looks poised to have a statement-making senior season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1352622,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/12/PH-Jarett-Fairley.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/12/PH-Jarett-Fairley.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-1352622" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1398558' first='Jarett' last='Fairley']&nbsp;</strong>(6'2/CG/'25/Hoover HS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: jarettgotquicks_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @fairley_jm</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I am not sure if anyone had a better summer than Jarett and it is seen in his recruitment on the rise. He showed his ability to be a two-way threat and raised his level of play tourney after tourney. He defended and contained some of the top players in the country and offensively he ran the show and scored when opportunities presented themselves. He really shot the trey ball well, got to the foul line often, and showed a good feel in getting is teammates involved. During Peach Jam several coaches mentioned Jarett in conversation. I am looking forward to seeing Jarett continue to raise his level of play his senior year.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
