A prospect who I thought would be more of a high major project, Rinaldo-Komlan's production throughout the season has made it clear that he has the potential to play immediately for Iowa State next season, a program that's been competing at the top of the Big 12.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782683"],"_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-699f27c2bf38c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prep Hoops Ranking: 60th</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next highest ranking: 64th ESPN</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top scoring guards in the DMV, Brown Jr is headed to a Vanderbilt program that could be sending point guard Tyler Tanner to the first round of the NBA draft this summer.

A stretch forward who has always been able to make shots, his ability to defend against high major athletes has been a major improvement this season and a reason why he's stuck on the floor in so many games. Ohio State is bringing in two of the top players from Ohio's 2026 class who will be expected to make early contributions in Columbus.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2426114"],"_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-699f27c2bf49e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prep Hoops Ranking: 94th</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next highest ranking: 114th 247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Singleton is the most improved player in Ohio over the past 18 months and he continues to elevate his game to the next level. An exceptional athlete, Singleton can throw down incredible dunks in transition and also is an elite defender. Picking the Ivy League route over high major offers, it'll be interesting to see if Singleton makes another leap offensively at a place that will expect him to have more of a scoring role than being just a complimentary piece at the high major level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2466505"],"_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-699f27c2bf504"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prep Hoops Ranking: 98th</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next highest ranking: 133rd Rivals</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Swann made the transfer to St James Academy for his senior season and has had to take on a major scoring burden this season in the EYBL Scholastic league. UCF and UNLV are Swann's latest offers after he de-committed from Hofstra a couple months ago. It'll be interesting to see if Swann again picks a mid-major program, or if his impressive play over the past few months makes high majors more interested in the idea of him playing right away.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
