Gill was an efficient scorer on the 3SSB circuit for both Wildcat Select and Phenom United and is one of the youngest players in the class of 2027. Gill's combination of production, a college ready frame, toughness and age makes him an easy bet to produce at the college level. With a transfer to a new powerhouse prep program, we'll see if Gill makes other national rankings lists by the time his senior season wraps up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2626155"],"_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-6a9750a4e2249"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>National Ranking: 126</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A player going from the west coast to the east coach, Yarbrough was a prospect I caught in May playing alongside Jalen Davis for Slow Grind Elite and was immediately impressed by his feel for the game and efficiency. His stats throughout the summer got even better and I expect Yarbrough to put up monster numbers in the OTE league this winter due to his combination of offensive skill, physicality and transition production. I'm surprised Yarbrough's recruitment hasn't taken a bigger spike but he could be an instant contributor at the right mid-major fit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2144878"],"_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-6a9750a4e22e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williford put up monster numbers as a slasher for Oakland Soldiers, averaging 17 points a contest on over 60% shooting from 2-point range. I think Williford isn't ranked on other sites due to a lack of perimeter shooting but when you check so many other boxes, I think surrounding him with floor spacers would allow him to be an instant impact player at the college level. Another prospect on this list making a move to a powerhouse prep program, Williford could blow up with Link Academy this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2858723"],"_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-6a9750a4e2389"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>National Ranking: 130</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A prospect I've been high on for a long time, Smith's slashing and toughness made him and Nj Gray form one of my favorite backcourts in the country with Team Lillard. Smith received offers this summer from programs like Oregon State, UCSD, UTEP and Washington State. I've written about Smith a couple times and nothing about my evaluation has changed and I'd expect him to make an instant impact at the college level at any west coast mid-major program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2391007"],"_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-6a9750a4e2415"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>National Ranking: 133</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Drive Nation went on one of the greatest underdog runs in Peach Jam history with a scrappy bunch that made it all the way to the championship Vs the Florida Rebels. Baliraine averaged 10 points, 8 rebounds and 3.4 defensive stocks a game during the Peach Jam run but it wasn't enough to make any other national rankings list. A second prospect in the OTE league, Baliraine could be a guy who finds his way into other national top 150 rankings with a strong senior season with Dynamic Prep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125357"],"_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-6a9750a4e2499"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>National Ranking: 136</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blackett is a prospect who we ranked heading into the summer and while I was impressed with his production this summer with the [program_tooltip program_id='2110367' first='Utah' last='Prospects'], no other rankings site has since added him to their national rankings. I've written about Blackett a couple of times and my evaluation has stayed consistent as his body, measurables, production and two-way impact makes him a favorite of mine among west coast wings. I'd expect Blackett to be an early contributor at the college level with his skillset.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
