With players from all different states, it gave college coaches a solid variety of the type of big man they may or may not want to recruit. From lunch pale bigs to 6’10’s that want to shoot the 3 ball, we have you covered!
2021 6’10 C Brody Rowbury (Meridian HS/ID) – Towering size over most opponents with a thick frame that can clog the paint. The big man out of Idaho has a soft touch on his shot, but he falls in love with the three ball a lot for his size. Brody also needs to continue to develop his mobility and athleticism. Fortunately, he is still younger and has some time to work on these two areas of his game.
2020 6’8 PF Gaige Ainslie (Central Catholic HS/OR) – In the short time I saw Gaige, he looked very confident in his three point shooting ability and some potential as a stretch 4 man at the next level.
2020 6’8 PF Hayden Curtiss (Mt. Si HS) – The late blooming big man showed some real potential in this event. A left handed forward with length to block shots and cover ground closing out on the perimeter. Hayden even showed the ability to step out and hit the three ball. If he can keep his motor turned up and continue to play physical throughout the course of a game, then he can be a Division 1 recruit. In the meantime, he is an unfinished product with a lot of promise.
2021 6’9 C Derek Kramer (Interlake HS) – Young post prospect still growing into his body, but he rebounded the ball well and has some good length at 6’9. Derek needs to keep working on his lateral speed hedging on ball screens and learn how to fulfill his basic responsibilities as a big man. Derek is a work on progress, but he is a player for D1’s to keep an eye moving forward.
2021 6’8 C Kam Robinson (Jefferson HS/OR) – Strong bodied big man with good hands. More of a throwback type of big man banging inside, but he moves fairly well and is a load to handle inside. Definite Division 1 prospect out of Portland, Oregon. *Feature image
2020 6’11 C Tucker Pellicci (Franklin HS/OR) – Imposing size and biggest prospect in the event. Tucker has great length and a frame that could easily add strength. He is raw on offense and needs to work on his finishing, but I could easily see a D1 school taking him and working with him thinking long term.
2022 6’7 C Kamal Muhammad (Lakeside HS) – Communicated and played hard from start to finish. Developing his skill set still, but the potential is there for the rising sophomore. Good frame and room for growth as a player. If he grows another inch or two and works on his offensive skills all around, he will be a solid college prospect from the post position.
