Brunson is another soaring recruit in the State of North Carolina and actually picked up a lot of offers in the spring but he continues to add to his total with 1 of 1 Pro 16s 16u group. The high flying wing has added to his flurry of offers with the most recent coming from College of Charleston who is clearly recruiting the State of North Carolina in a serious way right now.

Brunson is a real contender for the MVP of Pro16’s 16u division and it’s easy to see why when you watch him play with this 1 of 1 group. Brunson is a true hyper athlete that is fully aware of the ability he possesses as he flies all over the rim throughout the entirety of the game. Brunson was also able to show his improved touch from beyond the arc as he took his jumpers with confidence and was able to connect on a few. Brunson’s ability to utilize his athleticism on the defensive end of the floor is very special as he can come in as a help side shot blocker or operate in passing lanes to swing possessions. In transition, he is simply lethal as he was able to get out on the break and soar above the rim. Brunson has received many offers in recent weeks and I fully expect his recruitment to continue to soar as he heads into his junior season.

Brunson completely flipped the game on Sunday as his team was down about ten points late in the first half and Brunson’s activity quickly erased that deficit and helped 1 of 1 get a key win to wrap up their weekend. Brunson is an explosive athlete who is a dangerous lob threat in transition due to his quick leaping ability. I also was impressed with Brunson’s ability to cut along the baseline, taking advantage of the defense napping off the ball against him. One of the top prospects in North Carolina’s loaded 2028 class, Brunson has certainly established himself as a top prospect on the PRO16 league.

Brunson is a guy we’ve been high on for a while and it’s great to see his recruitment really pick up with a lot of that stemming from some special performances at the NCBCA live period event in Bermuda Run. Rutgers, NC State, Nebraska, and College of Charleston are just some of the programs to offer Brunson over the course of this month and it was a truly special string of performances for one of the nation’s most athletic prospects. The motor, physical tools, and pace Brunson plays the game with make him a two way game breaker. His profile will only rise in the near future as his got a tendency to make highlight plays, put up monster performances, and really look like he’s having a lot of fun as he’s doing it.

A top prospect who continues to generate buzz out of Cleveland High; had himself a productive sophomore year, producing 21.3 ppg, 8.4 rpg and 2.2 apg along with eight double-doubles; should be a key piece in the 1 of 1 Pro16 rotation given his ability to make things happen around the rim; really coming along as a spot-up/halfcourt shooting presence

Slashes to the rim with finesse, runs the floor hard, and stays active on both ends. Comfortable stepping out beyond the arc and knocking down the 3 consistently.

Brunson really looked the part this past weekend with 1 of 1 Elite Pro16 16u at The Phenom Grassroots TOC in Rock Hill as he had multiple big performances and highlight worthy moments vs some really high level competition. He’s a super high flyer that is showing improvement in his ability to make outside shots right at the time where college coaches will start to play much closer attention as he enters his 16u summer. His high energy game is something that will certainly attract a ton of attention and I feel like as people dig deeper into the total package Brunson possesses as a prospect, they’ll only start to like him more. The typical style we see in travel ball is catered to the high flying game that Brunson possesses and last weekend was an incredible launching pad (no pun intended) for him as he enters this pivotal summer.

Brunson is a very very unique talent here in North Carolina’s 2028 class and is looking like someone we’ll be talking about for quite sometime. In an impressive sophomore season at Cleveland High School, Brunson averaged 22.1 Points, 9.1 Rebounds, and 2.5 Assists per game. He’ll be playing this summer with Lamelo Ball’s 1 of 1 Elite on the Puma PRO16 Circuit. Brunson is one of NC’s best and most well rounded athletes regardless of class. His ability to be a momentum shifting finisher in transition is incredibly valuable along with the fact that his skillset is really progressing at a quality rate. Brunson’s defensive upside is immense, he can truly guard almost anyone on the floor and as he continues to learn high level defensive responsibilities and fills out his frame. Brunson has a style and a motor taylor made for travel ball success and I fully believe he’ll continue to show the necessary progress in his game to keep his trajectory as a national level prospect in the right direction.

Brunson continues to really impress at Cleveland High School with his ability to rebound being one of his calling cards as a young player. He’s one of the state’s best athletes regardless of position or class and the production is matching the eye test thus far. Cleveland is 12-7 on the season and Brunson is top three on the team in every major statistical category as just a sophomore. He’s averaging 20.4 Points, 8.3 Rebounds, 2.0 Assists, 1.5 Steals, and 0.8 Blocks per game. Brunson can make outside shots, soar above the rim in transition, and take defenders off the bounce in the half-court. Mississippi State already extended an offer and they look smart for jumping early with the high upside sophomore wing from Cleveland High School.

Brunson is a prospect who’s finding his way as an attacking presence for Cleveland High; he utilizes his athleticism well to finish around the rim and has even expanded his game to the perimeter as a shooter; Shaw University offered him after he put on quite the display creating turnovers and flying to the rim for Cleveland High this past month
