Top Names In Recruiting You’re Gonna Hear in AAU Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's the names of the players you're gonna hear early and often when it comes to recruiting, offers and evaluations. We believe these players are in position for "take off" in terms of being seen by the right people and coaches seeking them out to see in person. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2211906' first='Eli' last='Sancomb'] - Sancomb has had one of the best ascents in the high school basketball world to his current recruiting status (Drexel &amp; Marshall offers) including most recently a state championship. Eli has show tremendous improvement in his game year to year and still has another year of high school to go. After announcing those first two offers, Sancomb should expect several more with likely offers at each Puma circuit event where his name had gained huge momentum at the end of last summer with WV Gold. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2303399' first='Anden' last='Santamaria'] - This 6'7" do it all guard/wing/post has a very high ceiling which he's not close to touching yet. This spring and summer should prove to be huge as he steps into the AAU world under the Midwest banner. Santamaria will likely be able to showcase his skills facing the basket and in transition with guard type skills. Anden's name has already made the rounds in terms of recruiting so we know he's on several watchlists of coaches who will be checking to see if he "looks the part". </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2208827' first='Navi' last='Hewitt'] - Hewitt gained huge momentum at the end of last summer and has continued that throughout school season so there's no reason to believe it'll slow anytime soon. Set to run with WV Reign unsigned senior team, Hewitt has the attention of many and will gain huge traction very early on the Big Shots circuit, unless he commits to one of his standing offers beforehand. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2243492' first='Dazon' last='Reid'] - Many questioned the move last year to Huntington Prep but Reid has proved any doubter wrong as he's not only made the national roster, he's worked his way into huge minutes and making significant contributions week to week. With several LLD1's to mid-major's interested, I think his regular season play has proven he's next level and Division I worthy. Reid confirmed to me he's playing with the Bronx NY based Wiz Kids 3SSB program this spring and summer which will certainly include some formal offers from those that followed his progress.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2340983' first='Connor' last='Balwanz'] - Balwanz who had a Division III offer after his freshman season has progressed his game, gained some size and strength which has expanded his skills. Balwanz also recently jumped on board WV Reign AAU program and will play the scheduled high school circuit with coach Nuzum. Will Balwanz expand his offer list, maybe not, however there's no doubt he'll get added to many watchlists as the recruiting world yet again pivoted leaving coaches figuring their next move. But in a world where offers beget offers, I'd almost expect another school to extend an invite for Balwanz's services considering the wide variety of schools that follow the Big Shots events. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2623927' first='Koang' last='Bol Kuany'] - Bol Kuany is about to get very popular. The 7'2" Huntington Prep product has committed to run with Team Loaded 3SSB and coach Chris McGraw for this year's AAU season. It's not hard to tell Bol Kuany is a rim protector with good feet and growth to his game almost overnight. Even at his sophomore year (2027) I'd be absolutely shocked if African bord center doesn't have a handful of mid-majorish offers by August. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
