Seniors Flying Under the Radar

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are a few different reasons these seniors are flying under the radar. For some, we simply haven't had enough opportunities to see them. For others, we haven't seen enough from them yet to put them firmly on the radar. Each has something worth watching as the season approaches. Keep us updated on ALL prospects over on “X“ and “Instagram,” just tag @PrepHoops_AR &amp; @VortexSportsArkansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3765471' first='Ryan' last='Davis'] - Talented guard who had a productive summer and showed flashes of what he can bring. The move to a prep school, The New School, gives him a fresh opportunity to gain exposure and make a bigger name for himself.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3575573' first='Kendrick' last='Patterson'] - A legit two-sport athlete who brings that competitive edge from the gridiron to the hardwood. An All-Conference selection in basketball last season, Patterson's athleticism and toughness make him an interesting senior to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3599124' first='Richard' last='Higgins'] - An emerging guard out of Northwest Arkansas who started to generate some buzz this summer. His performance at team camp caught eyes, and he showed enough skill to suggest there's more to uncover.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2976780' first='Dawson' last='Young'] - His development has been hard to ignore. Once he locked in, the improvement came quickly, and he continues to climb. If that trajectory continues, Young could be one of the bigger senior risers to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2947138' first='Carter' last='Garland'] - More projection than production at this point, but there's still plenty to work with. Garland is coachable, works, and continues to develop. His long-term upside could make him a much different player by the end of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DJ Stacy - Small guard with a big motor. Stacy is undersized but scrappy, competitive and not afraid of the challenge. Playing in a smaller classification, he has shown he can compete with and hold his own against guys a class or 2 above.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2828984' first='Ethan' last='Edens'] - Every team needs a guy like Edens. He brings the hustle, effort and toughness that can change possessions without showing up in the box score. Continued skill development will determine just how much his overall impact can grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
