5 Players Whose Stock Rose At The National Prep Championships

The National Prep Championships recently concluded after 4 days of extremely high level basketball. These 5 players caught eyes , showcasing under the radar talent or moves that we didn't know that they had in their bag.    JJ Sullivan is a 6-foot-2 postgrad playing for Hargrave Military Academy. The lavishinglefty is a lights-out shooter with underrated self-creation ability. He's a very active mover off the ball and is quick decison maker. He can shoot off the catch put the ball on the floor to attack the closeout or create space with a stepback in rhythm. Jj impressed this weekend with improved off the dribble creation and overall creation having thrown some impressive passes along with showcasing scoring counters around the basket.       Fresh off playing a large part in a magical run to the Finals for Massanutten [player_tooltip player_id='1810739' first='Da'Kylan' last='Hill'] made an impact for the team in Hartford. The unsigned 2026 is a versatile big/forward that gives teams lineup flexibility. He sprints up the floor hard battles for rebounds, and recently has tweaked his jumper for spot up oppurtunites. This weekend Hill showcased great positional defense and a crazy motor. Overall a guy that will help you win.     Colin Ross a, a standout big from Spire Prep, had a monstrous showing at the National Championships, somehow growing his already high stock even more. The VCU commit became even more of a vocal point in the offense due to the Duquesne commit Jackson Williams being out for injury. Ross controlled the game on defense got to the free throw line and showed a level of comfort attacking off the dribble we hadn't seen much of before.     Kharon Scruggs is a point guard playing post-grad basketball for Massanutten Military Academy. He's a quick guard with the ball in his hands and is very creative off the dribble. He takes shots at the right time, not forcing anything, but consistently has given this team a lift, with it being no different this past weekend.     Louis Okeefe had a strong showing at the national prep championships. A calming complementary presence for the National champion Newman School O'Keefe is a hard nose table setting point guard who can also knock down jumpers. Him and his whole team fight for every inch pressing hard throwing caution to the wind. As one of the on floor coaches the complexity of the Newman Offense would be hardly executed without his presence.     [player_tooltip player_id='2242380' first='Ruey' last='Ruey'] may be the biggest climber over the course of this year. The lanky 6-foot-6 guard led the Elite Prep league in points over the course of the regular season and walked away with MVP honors. This was not incidental, and Ruey proves this every time he walks on the court. Ruey can give it to defenses any type of way from all three levels hitting stepback threes, pull ups, creating space in the midrange posting up smaller players or attacking the rim with reckless abandon. Despite his slim frame, Ruey pops right back up after every time he hits the floor with a thud and calmly knocks down the freethrows. Ruey is also active off the ball and is proficient at squaring up quickly to the rim and hitting shots off hard cuts. Defensively he can slide with guards, rotates well, functioning as a low man to protect the rim and can truly guard 1-4 at this level. Still underrecruited this kid is a not so hidden gem for anyone who chooses to cash in on him.
