The GCL-Co Ed had a really strong showing in the state tournament and Temming put up monster numbers in that league. With good size, quick feet for his height and production on both ends I thought Temming showed real growth as a senior. It’s always hard to project centers at this stage, some end up taking big jumps well after their high school career ends. I would be curious to see how Temming looks after a year at a JUCO, redshirt or post grad option. With a lot of intriguing tools to work with considering his size, mobility, passing and rim protection, I think Temming getting continued reps against tough competition, either in practice or game settings will really show where he’s at as a prospect. A name to watch in the 2024 class from Ohio as they prepare for their college careers.

A player I just got an in-person scout on last week, I just wrote about Temming’s game found if you click here. Not going to rewrite something I just wrote last week but felt like Temming needed to be included in this article, hit all the main bullet points in my article last week.

One of the more intriguing available seniors in Ohio, Temming stands 6’10 and leads the GCL-Co Ed in rebounds and blocks. I thought his body looked a little better as Temming has added some muscle to his frame, allowing him to take more contact through his chest. He moves well for a prospect his size in a straight line, allowing him to beat players down the court for layups and recover to block shots from behind. As a passer, Temming usually makes the right read when the double team comes. Still progressing with physicality and as a scorer, Temming did make a top of the key 18 footer early that showed a little shooting potential. He’s shooting 69% from the free throw line this season. It might take another couple years for Temming to reach his ceiling, but this is a prospect who could really benefit from a redshirt season or going to a JUCO/Post grad to continue development.

The only OHSAA prospect who makes this article, Temming is another raw center prospect who’s best basketball is ahead of him. Temming is scoring 9.9 points per game and grabbing 10.8 rebounds per game but his best skill is his rim protection with 3.5 blocks per game. I got one game viewing of Temming in the high school season already but am excited to see what he can show me in the spring and summer on the grassroots circuit against other bigs his size. A prospect to watch for low to mid major programs and regional Division II schools.

One of the tallest players in Ohio’s 2024 class, Temming was the main reason I wanted to see Alter and Fenwick battle. Temming had a low scoring game but I left impressed with his upside. Standing at 6’9, 6’10, Temming is a force in the paint and swatted a couple shots with authority. Temming also drew fouls on whatever defender Alter threw at him in the paint. I was also impressed with his soft hands and ability to pass out of the post. Temming still has plenty of development to go through, with his biggest improvement being in the weight room. Temming has the upside to be a Division I prospect and this upcoming spring and summer on the grassroots circuit will go a long way in determining if he realizes that potential.
