The senior forward class showcased remarkable talent throughout the Prep Hoops Circuit. In this article, I'll highlight the top seniors I believe are the best, based on my extensive scouting during the past circuit season. These seniors are poised to catch the attention of college coaches in the future!    [player_tooltip player_id='2428188' first='Chase' last='Hill']'s versatility is a key asset that would undoubtedly translate well to the next level. I first witnessed his prowess at the Space City Collision, where he showcased his skills alongside Arnold Elite. Standing at an impressive 6'7”, Chase's offensive abilities are remarkable. His perimeter shooting is exceptional, allowing him to comfortably space the floor and create opportunities for his teammates. As a passer, Chase is highly effective, seamlessly integrating into the offensive flow and setting up his teammates for success. On the rebounding end, Chase's willingness to crash the boards on both ends ensures his presence is felt throughout the interior.   What's Next for Chase? [player_tooltip player_id='2428188' first='Chase' last='Hill'] is a current senior at Reagan High School that will have more opportunities to demonstrate his potential as a valuable player for a college program. His overall skillset aligns well with the pace-oriented style of a college coach, allowing Chase to comfortably position himself on the perimeter off the catch and capitalize on open looks. Additionally, his height of 6'7” enables him to effectively play as a small-ball four or the three position, thanks to his versatility in both positions. [player_tooltip player_id='2428188' first='Chase' last='Hill']'s talent and potential make him a player that college scouts should definitely keep an eye on.     [player_tooltip player_id='2381740' first='Jacobi' last='Ewing']'s game was truly impressive to me. I was particularly impressed with his performances at the Grind Region Finals with In and Out Elite. Offensively, Jacobi is always in attack mode when he has the ball. His agility allows him to easily blow past defenders, often leading him to finish above or around the basket. When he scores in the post, he has the ability to create opportunities for himself over both shoulders, primarily using his right hand to finish explosively. If he's stopped in his pursuit of the basket, he can still create mid-range jumpers with space away from his defenders. Defensively, Jacobi is an active defender who uses his physical tools to contribute in the passing lanes and reject shots at the rim. His on-ball defense was also very solid, as he was able to keep up with plenty of ball handlers during his time at the Grind Region Finals.   What's Next for Jacobi? Overall Jacobi had a solid summer, and I continued to see his stock rise after the Grind Region Finals. During his senior year at South Grand Prairie High School, he has the opportunity to make even more noise this season, carrying his summer momentum. College coaches looking for an athletic wing who excels in transition and fast-paced play should definitely look for Jacobi's services. Jacobi was undoubtedly one of the best players I evaluated over the summer, making significant contributions on both ends of the court. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jacobi on the next level sometime next season!     I first assessed Lee's skills at the Grind Region Finals, where he showcased his prowess on both ends of the court. [player_tooltip player_id='2555372' first='Lee' last='Pouncil'] is an incredibly explosive player who excels at getting to the basket whenever he has the chance to score. Once he gains momentum, he effectively outmaneuvers defenders. Whenever I've witnessed Lee on the court, he exudes immense energy on both ends, playing with remarkable intensity. In transition, you can count on Lee to be actively involved, usually setting a target in the lanes while also making an effort to clean up missed layups. Defensively, he's highly capable of guarding opposing ball handlers on the perimeter, and his transition defense is particularly active, blocking multiple players and preventing them from capitalizing on transition opportunities.   What's Next for Lee? Lee is a current senior at Cypress Springs High School who has already made a name for himself with impressive performances as I witnessed him play at the University of Saint Thomas Fall Classic. College coaches seeking an athletic wing who can also excel as a shooting guard should keep an eye on Lee. He aims to have a remarkable season with Cypress Springs High School, and I am confident that he will continue to elevate his status throughout the fall season.     Shangameir Sutton is a 6'6 athletic wing that has shown remarkable improvement over the past two years. During my last encounter with him at the Grind Region Finals, he demonstrated his effectiveness both with and without the ball. Without the ball, he executed precise cuts in transition and during half-court sets, primarily finishing with explosive dunks or layups. With the ball, he utilized his size to stretch the floor, taking perimeter shots, while also creating driving lanes for himself to bypass defenders. His play style often leads him to the free-throw line, where he capitalizes on these opportunities. Defensively, he anchors the paint by blocking shots and controlling the boards. Additionally, his frame allows him to defend on the perimeter by covering ground effectively.   What's Next for Shangameir? Shangameir committed to Elevate Homeschool Basketball Academy in August. I believe he possesses the necessary skills to become a productive college player. During his senior year, he will be eager to impress college coaches. His ability to play on both ends should certainly catch the attention of college coaches seeking an athletic forward.     Reed Hellman is a 6'5 forward from Oklahoma that was a huge difference maker on Legacy Youth Basketball at the Grind Region Finals. In the paint he uses his body to create space between him and his defenders to make easy looks under the basket. When handling the ball off of defensive stops he often gets downhill creating transition points for his teammates and himself. He hustles for plenty of boards on both ends of the floor. Reeds skill is far advanced as he can definitely contribute well on the next level.   What's Next for Reed? Reed, currently ranked 15th in his position in Oklahoma and a top player in the state, possesses the ability to leverage his frame effectively when up close. Given his diverse skills at the forward position, it wouldn't be surprising if he receives a couple of offers before his senior year ends.
