This bunch is filled with different types of players. Malang Nak Malang Nak 6'9" | PF/C The Webb School | 2029 State TN and Jeremiah Stevens Jeremiah Stevens 6'6" | PF Oak Ridge | 2029 State TN are high-end athletes. Stevens will likely draw college football interest and offers. Nak picked up baseball just a year ago and possesses a flamethrower. He just might get a look from minor league baseball. Sincerely. As a basketball player Malang is still very, very raw but you can't teach size. His athleticism is good enough that you "can dream on him" as old scouts used to say decades ago.
NBA Son
Kooper Haston Kooper Haston 6'5" | PF/SF Perry County | 2029 State TN 's father starred at Indiana University in 1998-2001. In fact, Kirk Haston played for problematic coaching legend Bobby Knight. Drafted 16th in the 2001 NBA Draft Kirk played 27 total NBA games. Kooper may be able to compete as a wing forward, but that will take some improved mobility. This past summer Kooper Haston Kooper Haston 6'5" | PF/SF Perry County | 2029 State TN competed with STARS 15u.
Newcomers
The Class of 2029 enjoyed an update back in June, so the turnaround to late August was relatively short. For this reason, only a few power forwards debuted in the interim.

each splashed into the pool thanks to their July AAU performances.
Both Ethan and Cooper ostensibly played center for their respective AAU teams, but neither really project as centers. Cooper is a 4/5 hoping to be a 3 and Ethan is a 4/5 with a future exclusively at the 4 unless he grows a few inches.
Jaythan Thearp (Cane Ridge) is a new name to us. The Ravens of CRHS slipped a ton in the last three years enduring a coaching change and marginal depth. Perhaps they will fly again. Not since Brandon Miller walked those halls did they strike fear into the hearts of enemies.
