has a bright future ahead of him. He has a knack for putting the ball in the basket and can do so in many different ways. RJ is a creative and strong finisher around the rim but his length and athleticism are what stands out the most. This combination allows him to be effective on the defensive end getting into passing lanes and blocking shots which he turns into transition buckets on the other end. In a Friday Morning Matchup with Team Rose, Young came out on fire scoring 10 Points in the First 5 Minutes to help Arkansas Hawks build up a big lead.
Blair is another player from the 15U Arkansas Hawks group that I was impressed with this week in Rock Hill. Blair does a terrific job of setting his teammates up with good shots. He sees the floor extremely well and dictates the pace of the game to his speed. Blair is also a strong rebounder for his size and doesn’t get picked on on the defensive end.
Neville is a true scoring guard, and one of the best in the 16U Division of 3SSB. He has a strong lower body with a quick first step that helps him beat defenders off the dribble. KJ also has great range and can pull up from just about anywhere. During the 3SSB Regular Season, KJ was Top 10 in Made 3 Pointers Per Game at 3.0. On the defensive end, Neville has quick hands which allows him to be a pest for opposing ball handlers.

Markalon is an interesting prospect out of Maumelle High School. With Arkansas Hawks 16U he is often played as a 4, but I can see him in a number of different roles due to his strength and athleticism. The athleticism is what stands out the most, as it allows him to play taller on both ends of the floor. He can do a little bit of everything well, including protecting the rim, playing off the dribble, and has nice touch on his jump shot.
Boateng was running with the Arkansas Hawks in Rock Hill this week, and he was one of the most impressive players regardless of Class and State. In terms of his physical attributes, he is a tantalizing prospect. One of the strongest players on the court, but still has good length, quickness, and athleticism. These qualities allow him to be a dominant force on both ends of the floor. On the Offensive End, he is a handful for defenders and can score from all levels of the floor. On Saturday Afternoon. Boateng had a solid outing with 14 Points and 7 Rebounds in a win against Team Trae Young.
Highlights
Moore was playing up last weekend with Arkansas Hawks 17U, and he did not look out of place at all. He was well-adjusted to the speed and physicality. Moore is a great lead guard that has a High Basketball IQ. Luke does a great job of seeing the floor and keeping his dribble alive through tight spaces. Moore can also get his own basket when it’s needed and is a terrific free-throw shooter.
Rounding out this impressive list is another 2025 Arkansas Hawk that played up with the 17U Squad in Rock Hill last week. Burgess might be one of the most raw prospects on this list, but his potential is through the roof. He’s listed at 6’9″ but has the Offensive and Defensive Versatility that is desired at the next level. He has great ball skills and quickness which contributes to that potential. He is already a really good player, but if Terrion develops a consistent outside shot look out for him as a National Stock Riser.
