About Loyall
Expert Analysis
Michael Herrick | Prep Hoops Scout
This kid is a freakish athlete with a very high ceiling. PHD was super impressed with Loyall’s game this spring. Smooth, mobile, and dynamic with the basketball. Smith is a high-riser, a shot blocker, and an electric finisher.

Read EvaluationJeremy Skoglund | Prep Hoops Scout
A tough matchup at a 6’0 guard that can handle it. He’s a pure athlete and already playing well above the rim. Loyall is a leader on the floor and plays with a great attitude. I really like his ability to get to the rim and absorb contact, yet still finish.
